About COM Express 

 

 

 

COM stands for Computer-On-Module. This approach puts an entire computer host-complex power on a small form factor (either 95mm x 125mm or 155mm x 110mm) module that can be mounted on larger carrier boards containing the application specific IO and power circuitry. It also allows flexibility in standard form factor boards that require upgradeable host functionality. This brings benefits to system designers, such as reduced time-to-market, cost-effective customization and lower product lifecycle costs.

COM Express supports a rich set of interfaces, including PCI Express up to 32 lanes, PCI Express Graphics, Serial ATA, Serial Attached SCSI, USB 2.0, LVDS, Serial DVO (digital video out), Ethernet, and GPIO, as well as enhanced system and power management features, making it suitable for many embedded computing applications. Support for PCI and parallel ATA further ensures that OEMs have a smooth transition path from existing systems.
