1 INTRODUCTION
COM Express™ Concept
COM Express™ is an open industry standard dened specically for COMs (computer on modules). Its creation provides the ability to make a
smooth transition from legacy interfaces to the newest technologies available today. COM Express™ modules are available in following form
factors:
• Compact 95mm x 95mm
• Basic 125mm x 95mm
• Extended 155mm x 110mm
The COM Express™ specication 2.1 denes seven different pinout types.
Types Connector Rows PCI Express Lanes PCI IDE Channels LAN ports
Type 1 A-B Up to 6 1
Type 2 A-B C-D Up to 22 32 bit 1 1
Type 3 A-B C-D Up to 22 32 bit 3
Type 4 A-B C-D Up to 32 1 1
Type 5 A-B C-D Up to 32 3
Type 6 A-B C-D Up to 24 1
Type 10 A-B Up to 4 1
The conga-TC87 modules use the Type 6 pinout denition. They are equipped with two high performance connectors that ensure stable data
throughput.
The COM (computer on module) integrates all the core components and is mounted onto an application specic carrier board. COM modules
are legacy-free design (no Super I/O, PS/2 keyboard and mouse) and provide most of the functional requirements for any application. These
functions include, but are not limited to a rich complement of contemporary high bandwidth serial interfaces such as PCI Express, Serial ATA,
USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet. The Type 6 pinout provides the ability to offer PCI Express, Serial ATA, and LPC options thereby expanding
the range of potential peripherals. The robust thermal and mechanical concept, combined with extended power-management capabilities, is
perfectly suited for all applications.
Carrier board designers can use as little or as many of the I/O interfaces as deemed necessary. The carrier board can therefore provide all
the interface connectors required to attach the system to the application specic peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a
dense and optimized package, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying system integration. Most importantly, COM Express™
modules are scalable, which means once an application has been created there is the ability to diversify the product range through the use
of different performance class or form factor size modules. Simply unplug one module and replace it with another; no redesign is necessary.

2.5 Power Consumption
The power consumption values listed in this document were measured under a controlled environment. The hardware used for testing includes
a conga-TC87 module, conga-TEVAL carrier board, hdmi-equipped LCD monitor, SATA SSD drive, and USB keyboard/mouse. The SATA drive
was powered externally by an ATX power supply so that it does not inuence the power consumption value that is measured for the module.
To ensure that only the power consumption of the CPU module is measured, the conga-TEVAL power consumption was determined before the
measurement and subtracted from the overall power consumption value measured.
The USB keyboard/mouse were detached once the module was congured within the OS. All recorded values were averaged over a 30
second time period. Cooling of the module was done by the module specic heatspreader and a fan cooled heatsink to measure the power
consumption under normal thermal conditions.
Each module was measured while running Windows 7 Professional 64Bit, Hyper Threading enabled, Speed Step enabled, CPU Turbo Mode
enabled and Power Plan set to “Power Saver”. This setting ensures that Core™ processors run in LFM (lowest frequency mode) with minimal
core voltage during desktop idle. Each module was tested while using two 2GB memory modules. Using different sizes of RAM, as well as one
or two memory modules, will cause slight variances in the measured results.
To measure the worst case power consumption the cooling solution was removed and the CPU core temperature was allowed to run up to
between 90° and 95°C while running 100% workload with the Power Plan set to “Balanced”. The peak current value was then recorded. This
value should be taken into consideration when designing the system’s power supply to ensure that the power supply is sufcient during worst
case scenarios.
Power consumption values were recorded during the following stages:
Windows 7 (64 bit)
Desktop Idle (power plan = Power Saver)
100% CPU workload (see note below, power plan = Power Saver)
100% CPU workload at approximately 100°C peak power consumption (power plan = Balanced)
Suspend to RAM. Supply power for S3 mode is 5V.
Note
A software tool was used to stress the CPU to Max Turbo Frequency.

2.7 Environmental Specications
Temperature Operation: 0° to 60°C Storage: -20° to +80°C
Humidity Operation: 10% to 90% Storage: 5% to 95%
Caution
The above operating temperatures must be strictly adhered to at all times. When using a heatspreader, the maximum operating temperature
refers to any measurable spot on the heatspreader’s surface.
congatec AG strongly recommends that you use the appropriate congatec module heatspreader as a thermal interface between the module
and your application specic cooling solution.
If for some reason it is not possible to use the appropriate congatec module heatspreader, then it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure
that all components found on the module operate within the component manufacturers specied temperature range.
For more information about operating a congatec module without heatspreader, contact congatec technical support.
Humidity specications are for non-condensing conditions.

4 Heatspreader
An important factor for each system integration is the thermal design. The heatspreader acts as a thermal coupling device to the module and
its aluminum plate is 4mm thick. The heatspreader is thermally coupled to the CPU and other heat generating components via a heat pipe.
Although the heatspreader is the thermal interface where most of the heat generated by the module is dissipated, it is not to be considered
as a heatsink. It has been designed to be used as a thermal interface between the module and the application specic thermal solution. The
application specic thermal solution may use heatsinks with fans, and/or heat pipes, which can be attached to the heatspreader. Some thermal
solutions may also require that the heatspreader is attached directly to the systems chassis thereby using the whole chassis as a heat dissipater.
For additional information about the conga-TC87 heatspreader, refer to section 4.1 of this document.
Caution
There are mounting holes on the heatspreader designed to attach the heatspreader to the module. These mounting holes must be used
to ensure that all components that are required to make contact with heatspreader do so. Failure to use these mounting holes will result in
improper contact between these components and heatspreader thereby reducing heat dissipation efciency.
Attention must be given to the mounting solution used to mount the heatspreader and module into the system chassis. Do not use a threaded
heatspreader together with threaded carrier board standoffs. The combination of the two threads may be staggered, which could lead to
stripping or cross-threading of the threads in either the standoffs of the heatspreader or carrier board.

4.1 Heatspreader Dimensions
Note
All measurements are in millimeters. Torque specication for heatspreader screws is 0.3 Nm. Mechanical system assembly mounting shall
follow the valid DIN/IS0 specications.
Caution
When using the heatspreader in a high shock and/or vibration environment, congatec recommends the use of a thread-locking uid on the
heatspreader screws to ensure the above mentioned torque specication is maintained.

5.1 Primary Connector Rows A and B
The following subsystems can be found on the primary connector rows A and B.
5.1.1 Serial ATA™ (SATA)
The conga-TC87 provides 4 SATA interfaces (SATA 0-3) externally via the Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP integrated in the MCP. The SATA ports are
based on Serial ATA Specication, Revision 3.0 and support up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer rates.
The Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP featured on the conga-TC87 has one integrated SATA host controller. This controller does not support legacy mode
using I/O space, rather it supports only one mode of operation - AHCI mode using memory space. Hot-plug is also supported when operating
in non-native IDE mode. For more information, refer to section 10 “BIOS Setup Description”.
Note
The conga-TC87 Celeron variants support up to 2 SATA interfaces only.
5.1.2 USB 2.0
The conga-TC87 offers 8 USB 2.0 interfaces on the A-B connector. The EHCI host controller in the PCH supports these interfaces with high-
speed, full-speed and low-speed USB signalling. The controller complies with USB standard 1.1 and 2.0. For more information about how the
USB host controllers are routed, see section 7.5.
5.1.3 High Denition Audio (HDA) Interface
The conga-TC87 provides an interface that supports the connection of HDA audio codecs.
5.1.4 Gigabit Ethernet
The conga-TC87 is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet Controller that is integrated within the Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP. This controller is routed
to the onboard Intel® l218-LM Phy through the use of the fth PCI Express lane. The Ethernet interface consists of 4 pairs of low voltage
differential pair signals designated from GBE0_MD0± to GBE0_MD3± plus control signals for link activity indicators. These signals can be used
to connect to a 10/100/1000 BaseT RJ45 connector with integrated or external isolation magnetics on the carrier board.
Note
The GBE0_LINK# output is only active during a 100Mbit or 1Gbit connection. It is not active during a 10Mbit connection. This is a limitation
Copyright © 2013 congatec AG TU87m01 24/72
of Ethernet controller since it only has 3 LED outputs, ACT#, LINK100# and LINK1000#. The GBE0_LINK# signal is a logic AND of the
GBE0_LINK100# and GBE0_LINK1000# signals on the conga-TC87 module.
5.1.5 LPC Bus
conga-TC87 offers the LPC (Low Pin Count) bus through the Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP. There are many devices available for this Intel® dened
bus. The LPC bus corresponds approximately to a serialized ISA bus yet with a signicantly reduced number of signals. Due to the software
compatibility to the ISA bus, I/O extensions such as additional serial ports can be easily implemented on an application specic baseboard
using this bus. See section 9.1.1 for more information about the LPC Bus.
5.1.6 I²C Bus Fast Mode
The I²C bus is implemented through the congatec board controller (TI Stellaris® LM4FS11H5BB) and accessed through the congatec CGOS
driver and API. The controller provides a Fast Mode multi-master I²C Bus that has maximum I²C bandwidth.
5.1.7 PCI Express™
The conga-TC87 offers 5 PCI Express™ lanes via the Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP. Four of these lanes are offered externally on the A-B connector.
The remaining lane is used by the onboard Gigabit Ethernet interface. The lanes are Gen 2 compliant and offer support for full 5 Gb/s bandwidth
in each direction per x1 link.
Default conguration for the lanes on the AB connector is 4x1 link. A 1x4 and 2x2 link conguration is also possible but requires a special/
customized BIOS rmware. Contact congatec technical support for more information about this subject.
The PCI Express interface is based on the PCI Express Specication 2.0 with Gen 1 (2.5Gb/s) and Gen 2 (5 Gb/s) speed.
5.1.8 ExpressCard™
The conga-TC87 supports the implementation of ExpressCards, which requires the dedication of one USB 2.0 port or a x1 PCI Express link
for each ExpressCard used.
5.1.9 Graphics Output (VGA/CRT)
The Intel® ULT SoC does not support VGA interface. However on the conga-TC87 rev C.x and later, an optional VGA interface is supported on
the DDI digital port C via NXP PTN3392BS Displayport to VGA controller.
Copyright © 2013 congatec AG TU87m01 25/72
5.1.10 LCD (LVDS/eDP)
The conga-TC87 offers an LVDS/eDP interface on the AB connector. The LVDS/eDP interface is by default congured to provide LVDS signals.
The interface can optionally be switched via the BIOS setup menu to support eDP signals.
The single/dual channel LVDS interface is provided through an onboard eDP to LVDS bridge device. The eDP to LVDS bridge processes
incoming DisplayPort stream and converts the DP protocol to LVDS, before transmitting the processed stream in LVDS format. The bridge
supports single and dual channel signalling with color depths of 18 bits or 24 bits per pixel and pixel clock frequency up to 112 MHz.
Note
The LVDS/eDP interface supports either LVDS or eDP signals. Both signals are not supported simultaneously.
5.1.11 General Purpose Serial Interface
Two TTL compatible two wire ports are available on Type 6 COM Express modules. These pins are designated SER0_TX, SER0_RX, SER1_TX
and SER1_RX. Data out of the module is on the _TX pins. Hardware handshaking and hardware ow control are not supported. The module
asynchronous serial ports are intended for general purpose use and for use with debugging software that make use of the “console redirect”
features available in many operating systems.
The conga-TC87 offers two UART interfaces via two UART controllers integrated in the congatec Board Controller. These controllers support
up to 1MBit/s and can operate in low-speed, full-speed and high-speed modes. The UART interfaces are routed to the AB connector and
require congatec driver to function..
Note
The UART interfaces do not support legacy COM port emulation.

5.1.12 Power Control
PWR_OK
Power OK from main power supply or carrier board voltage regulator circuitry. A high value indicates that the power is good and the module can
start its onboard power sequencing.
Carrier board hardware must drive this signal low until all power rails and clocks are stable. Releasing PWR_OK too early or not driving it low
at all can cause numerous boot up problems. It is a good design practice to delay the PWR_OK signal a little (typically 100ms) after all carrier
board power rails are up, to ensure a stable system.
A sample screenshot is shown below:
Note
The module is kept in reset as long as the PWR_OK is driven by carrier board hardware.
Copyright © 2013 congatec AG TU87m01 27/72
The conga-TC87 PWR_OK input circuitry is implemented as shown below:
The voltage divider ensures that the input complies with 3.3V CMOS characteristic and also allows for carrier board designs that are not driving
PWR_OK. Although the PWR_OK input is not mandatory for the onboard power-up sequencing, it is strongly recommended that the carrier
board hardware drives the signal low until it is safe to let the module boot-up.
When considering the above shown voltage divider circuitry and the transistor stage, the voltage measured at the PWR_OK input pin may be
only around 0.8V when the 12V is applied to the module. Actively driving PWR_OK high is compliant to the COM Express specication but this
can cause back driving. Therefore, congatec recommends driving the PWR_OK low to keep the module in reset and tri-state PWR_OK when
the carrier board hardware is ready to boot.
The three typical usage scenarios for a carrier board design are:
Connect PWR_OK to the “power good” signal of an ATX type power supply.

Connect PWR_OK to the last voltage regulator in the chain on the carrier board.
Simply pull PWR_OK with a 1k resistor to the carrier board 3.3V power rail.
With this solution, it must be ensured that by the time the 3.3V is up, all carrier board hardware is fully powered and all clocks are stable.
The conga-TC87 provides support for controlling ATX-style power supplies. When not using an ATX power supply then the conga-TC87’s pins
SUS_S3/PS_ON, 5V_SB, and PWRBTN# should be left unconnected.
SUS_S3#/PS_ON#
The SUS_S3#/PS_ON# (pin A15 on the A-B connector) signal is an active-low output that can be used to turn on the main outputs of an ATX-
style power supply. In order to accomplish this the signal must be inverted with an inverter/transistor that is supplied by standby voltage and
is located on the carrier board.
PWRBTN#
When using ATX-style power supplies PWRBTN# (pin B12 on the A-B connector) is used to connect to a momentary-contact, active-low
debounced push-button input while the other terminal on the push-button must be connected to ground. This signal is internally pulled up to
3V_SB using a 10k resistor. When PWRBTN# is asserted it indicates that an operator wants to turn the power on or off. The response to this
signal from the system may vary as a result of modications made in BIOS settings or by system software.
Power Supply Implementation Guidelines
12 volt input power is the sole operational power source for the conga-TC87. The remaining necessary voltages are internally generated on
the module using onboard voltage regulators. A carrier board designer should be aware of the following important information when designing
a power supply for a conga-TC87 application:
It has also been noticed that on some occasions, problems occur when using a 12V power supply that produces non monotonic voltage
when powered up. The problem is that some internal circuits on the module (e.g. clock-generator chips) will generate their own reset signals
when the supply voltage exceeds a certain voltage threshold. A voltage dip after passing this threshold may lead to these circuits becoming
confused resulting in a malfunction. It must be mentioned that this problem is quite rare but has been observed in some mobile power supply
applications. The best way to ensure that this problem is not encountered is to observe the power supply rise waveform through the use
of an oscilloscope to determine if the rise is indeed monotonic and does not have any dips. This should be done during the power supply
qualication phase therefore ensuring that the above mentioned problem doesn’t arise in the application. For more information about this
issue visit www.formfactors.org and view page 25 gure 7 of the document “ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide V2.2”.

5.1.13 Power Management
ACPI
The conga-TC87 supports Advanced Conguration and Power Interface (ACPI) specication, revision 4.0a. It also supports Suspend to RAM
(S3). For more information, see section 7.3 “ACPI Suspend Modes and Resume Events”.
DEEP Sx
The Deep Sx is a lower power state employed to minimize the power consumption while in S3/S4/S5. In the Deep Sx state, the system entry
condition determines if the system context is maintained or not. All power is shut off except for minimal logic which supports limited set of wake
events for Deep Sx. The Deep Sx on resumption, puts system back into the state it is entered from. In other words, if Deep Sx state was entered
from S3 state, then the resume path will place system back into S3.

6 Additional Features
6.1 congatec Board Controller (cBC)
The conga-TC87 is equipped with Texas Instruments Tiva™ TM4E1231H6ZRB microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important
role for most of the congatec embedded/industrial PC features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring
or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86
processor is in a low power mode. It also ensures that the congatec embedded feature set is fully compatible amongst all congatec modules.
6.2 Board Information
The cBC provides a rich data-set of manufacturing and board information such as serial number, EAN number, hardware and rmware
revisions, and so on. It also keeps track of dynamically changing data like runtime meter and boot counter.
6.3 Watchdog
The conga-TC87 is equipped with a multi stage watchdog solution that is triggered by software. The COM Express™ Specication does not
provide support for external hardware triggering of the Watchdog, which means the conga-TC87 does not support external hardware triggering.
For more information about the Watchdog feature, see the BIOS setup description in section 10.4.2 of this document and application note
AN3_Watchdog.pdf on the congatec AG website at www.congatec.com.
Note
The conga-TC87 module does not support the watchdog NMI mode. COM Express type 6 modules do not support the PCI bus, therefore the
PCI_SERR# signal is not available. There is no way to drive an NMI to the processor without the presence of the PCI_SERR# PCI bus signal.
6.4 I2C Bus
The conga-TC87 supports I2C bus. Thanks to the I2C host controller in the cBC, the I2C bus is multi-master capable and runs at fast mode.
6.5 Power Loss Control
The cBC has full control of the power-up of the module and therefore can be used to specify the behavior of the system after an AC power loss
condition. Supported modes are “Always On”, “Remain Off” and “Last State”.
Copyright © 2013 congatec AG TU87m01 34/72
6.6 Embedded BIOS
The conga-TC87 is equipped with congatec Embedded BIOS, which is based on American Megatrends Inc. Aptio UEFI rmware. These are
the most important embedded PC features:
6.6.1 CMOS Backup in Non Volatile Memory
A copy of the CMOS memory (SRAM) is stored in the BIOS ash device. This prevents the system from booting up with the wrong system
conguration if the backup battery (RTC battery) fails. Additionally, it provides the ability to create systems that do not require a CMOS backup
battery.
6.6.2 OEM CMOS Default Settings and OEM BIOS Logo
This feature allows system designers to create and store their own CMOS default conguration and BIOS logo (splash screen) within the BIOS
ash device. Customized BIOS development by congatec for these changes is no longer necessary because customers can easily do these
changes by themselves using the congatec system utility CGUITL.
6.6.3 OEM BIOS Code
With the congatec embedded BIOS it is even possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. Except for
custom specic code, this feature can also be used to support Win XP SLP installation, Window 7 SLIC table, verb tables for HDA codecs, rare

6.6.4 congatec Battery Management Interface
In order to facilitate the development of battery powered mobile systems based on embedded modules, congatec AG dened an interface for
the exchange of data between a CPU module (using an ACPI operating system) and a Smart Battery system. A system developed according
to the congatec Battery Management Interface Specication can provide the battery management functions supported by an ACPI capable
operating system (e.g. charge state of the battery, information about the battery, alarms/events for certain battery states, ...), without the need
for additional modications to the system BIOS.
The conga-TC87 BIOS fully supports this interface. For more information about this subject visit the congatec website and view the following
documents:
congatec Battery Management Interface Specication
Battery System Design Guide
conga-SBM3 User’s Guide
6.6.5 API Support (CGOS/EAPI)
In order to benet from the above mentioned non-industry standard feature set, congatec provides an API that allows application software
developers to easily integrate all these features into their code. The CGOS API (congatec Operating System Application Programming
Interface) is the congatec proprietary API that is available for all commonly used Operating Systems such as Win32, Win64, Win CE, Linux.
The architecture of the CGOS API driver provides the ability to write application software that runs unmodied on all congatec CPU modules.
All the hardware related code is contained within the congatec embedded BIOS on the module. See section 1.1 of the CGOS API software
developers guide, which is available on the congatec website .
Other COM (Computer on Modules) vendors offer similar driver solutions for these kind of embedded PC features, which are by nature
proprietary. All the API solutions that can be found on the market are not compatible to each other. As a result, writing application software that
can run on more than one vendor’s COM is not so easy. Customers have to change their application software when switching to another COM
vendor. EAPI (Embedded Application Programming Interface) is a programming interface dened by the PICMG that addresses this problem.
With this unied API it is now possible to run the same application on all vendor’s COMs that offer EAPI driver support. Contact congatec
technical support for more information about EAPI.

efcient hash and RSA algorithms with key lengths up to 2,048 bits as well as a real random number generator. Security sensitive applications
like gaming and e-commerce will benet also with improved authentication, integrity and condence levels.
6.8 Suspend to Ram

7 conga Tech Notes
The conga-TC87 has some technological features that require additional explanation. The following section will give the reader a better
understanding of some of these features. This information will also help to gain a better understanding of the information found in the System
Resources section of this user’s guide as well as some of the setup nodes found in the BIOS Setup Program description section.
7.1 Intel® PCH-LP Features
7.1.1 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
The Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP provides support for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology, allowing AHCI functionality and RAID 0/1/5/10 support.
7.1.1.1 AHCI
The Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP provides hardware support for Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a standardized programming interface
for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as port independent DMA engines
(each device is treated as a master) and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI also provides usability enhancements such as
Hot-Plug and advanced power management.
7.1.1.2 RAID
The industry-leading RAID capability provides high performance RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 functionality on the 4 SATA ports of Intel® 8 Series
PCH-LP. Software components include an Option ROM for pre-boot conguration and boot functionality, a Microsoft* Windows* compatible
driver, and a user interface for conguration and management of the RAID capability of the Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP.
7.1.1.3 Intel® Smart Response Technology
Intel® Smart Response Technology is a disk caching solution that can provide improved computer system performance with improved
power savings. It allows conguration of a computer systems with the advantage of having HDDs for maximum storage capacity with system
performance at or near SSD performance levels.
Note
This feature requires an Intel® Core Processor
Copyright © 2013 congatec AG TU87m01 38/72
7.1.2 Intel® Rapid Start Technology
Intel® Rapid Start Technology enables systems to quickly resume from deep sleep. With this feature enabled, the system resumes smoothly
and faster than with fresh Start Up or Resume from Hibernate, while maintaining the previous activity of the user.
Note
This feature requires an Intel® Core Processor
7.2 Intel® Processor Features
7.2.1 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency if it’s operating below power, current, and
temperature specication limits. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor
performance state. The maximum frequency of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is dependent on the number of active cores. The amount of time
the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost 2 Technology state depends on the workload and operating environment. Any of the following
can set the upper limit of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology on a given workload:
Number of active cores
Estimated current consumption
Estimated power consumption
Processor temperature
When the processor is operating below these limits and the user’s workload demands additional performance, the processor frequency will
dynamically increase by 100 MHz on short and regular intervals until the upper limit is met or the maximum possible upside for the number of
active cores is reached. For more information about Intel® Turbo Boost 2 Technology visit the Intel® website.
Note
Only conga-TC87 module variants that feature the Core™ i7 and i5 processors support Intel® Turbo Boost 2 Technology. Refer to the power
consumption tables in section 2.5 of this document for information about the maximum turbo frequency available for each variant of the
conga-TC87.

7.2.2 Thermal Monitor and Catastrophic Thermal Protection
Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 and Celeron® processors have a thermal monitor feature that helps to control the processor temperature. The integrated
TCC (Thermal Control Circuit) activates if the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating temperature. The activation temperature that
the Intel® Thermal Monitor uses to activate the TCC can be slightly modied via TCC Activation Offset in BIOS setup submenu “CPU submenu”.
The Thermal Monitor can control the processor temperature through the use of two different methods dened as TM1 and TM2. TM1 method
consists of the modulation (starting and stopping) of the processor clocks at a 50% duty cycle. The TM2 method initiates an Enhanced Intel
Speedstep transition to the lowest performance state once the processor silicon reaches the maximum operating temperature.
Note
The maximum operating temperature for Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 and Celeron® processors is 100°C.
To ensure that the TCC is active for only short periods of time, thus reducing the impact on processor performance to a minimum, it is necessary
to have a properly designed thermal solution. The Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 and Celeron® processor’s respective datasheet can provide you with
more information about this subject.
THERMTRIP# signal is used by Intel®’s Core™ i7/i5/i3 and Celeron® processors for catastrophic thermal protection. If the processor’s silicon
reaches a temperature of approximately 125°C then the processor signal THERMTRIP# will go active and the system will automatically shut
down to prevent any damage to the processor as a result of overheating. The THERMTRIP# signal activation is completely independent from
processor activity and therefore does not produce any bus cycles.
Note
In order for THERMTRIP# to be able to automatically switch off the system, it is necessary to use an ATX style power supply.
7.2.3 Processor Performance Control
Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 and Celeron® processors found on the conga-TC87 run at different voltage/frequency states (performance states), which
is referred to as Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® technology (EIST). Operating systems that support performance control take advantage of
microprocessors that use several different performance states in order to efciently operate the processor when it’s not being fully used.
The operating system will determine the necessary performance state that the processor should run at so that the optimal balance between
performance and power consumption can be achieved during runtime.
The Windows family of operating systems links its processor performance control policy to the power scheme setting. You must ensure that the
power scheme setting you choose has the ability to support Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® technology.

7.2.4 Intel® 64 Architecture
The formerly known Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology is an enhancement to Intel®’s IA-32 architecture. Intel® 64 is only available on
Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 and Celeron® processors and is designed to run with newly written 64-bit code and access more than 4GB of memory.
Processors with Intel® 64 architecture support 64-bit-capable operating systems from Microsoft, Red Hat and SuSE. Processors running in
legacy mode remain fully compatible with today’s existing 32-bit applications and operating systems
Platforms with Intel® 64 can be run in three basic ways :
1. Legacy Mode: 32-bit operating system and 32-bit applications. In this mode no software changes are required, however the benets of
Intel® 64 are not utilized.
2. Compatibility Mode: 64-bit operating system and 32-bit applications. This mode requires all device drivers to be 64-bit. The operating
system will see the 64-bit extensions but the 32-bit application will not. Existing 32-bit applications do not need to be recompiled and may
or may not benet from the 64-bit extensions. The application will likely need to be re-certied by the vendor to run on the new 64-bit
extended operating system.
3. 64-bit Mode: 64-bit operating system and 64-bit applications. This usage requires 64-bit device drivers. It also requires applications to be
modied for 64-bit operation and then recompiled and validated.
Intel® 64 supports:
64-bit at virtual address space
64-bit pointers
64-bit wide general purpose registers
64-bit integer support
Up to one Terabyte (TB) of platform address space

7.2.5 Intel® Virtualization Technology
Virtualization solutions enhanced by Intel® VT will allow a Core™ i7/i5/i3 platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in
independent partitions. When using virtualization capabilities, one computer system can function as multiple “virtual” systems. With processor
and I/O enhancements to Intel®’s various platforms, Intel® Virtualization Technology can improve the performance and robustness of today’s
software-only virtual machine solutions.
Intel® VT is a multi-generational series of extensions to Intel® processor and platform architecture that provides a new hardware foundation for
virtualization, establishing a common infrastructure for all classes of Intel® based systems. The broad availability of Intel® VT makes it possible
to create entirely new applications for virtualization in servers, clients as well as embedded systems thus providing new ways to improve
system reliability, manageability, security, and real-time quality of service.
The success of any new hardware architecture is highly dependent on the system software that puts its new features to use. In the case of
virtualization technology, that support comes from the virtual machine monitor (VMM), a layer of software that controls the underlying physical
platform resources sharing them between multiple “guest” operating systems. Intel® VT is already incorporated into most commercial and open-
source VMMs including those from VMware, Microsoft, XenSource, Parallels, Virtual Iron, Jaluna and TenAsys.
You can nd more information about Intel® Virtualization Technology at: http://developer.intel.com/technology/virtualization/index.htm
Note
congatec does not offer virtual machine monitor (VMM) software. All VMM software support questions and queries should be directed to the
VMM software vendor and not congatec technical support.
7.2.6 Thermal Management
ACPI is responsible for allowing the operating system to play an important part in the system’s thermal management. This results in the
operating system having the ability to take control of the operating environment by implementing cooling decisions according to the demands
put on the CPU by the application.
The conga-TC87 supports Critical Trip Point. This cooling policy ensures that the operating system shuts down properly if the temperature in
the thermal zone reaches a critical point, in order to prevent damage to the system as a result of high temperatures. Use the “critical trip point”
setup node in the BIOS setup program to determine the temperature threshold that the operating system will use to shut down the system.
Note
The end user must determine the cooling preferences for the system by using the setup nodes in the BIOS setup program to establish the
appropriate trip points.

7.3 ACPI Suspend Modes and Resume Events
conga-TC87 supports S3 (STR= Suspend to RAM). For more information about S3 wake events, see section 10.4.5 “ACPI Conguration
Submenu”.
S4 (Suspend to Disk) is not supported by the BIOS (S4_BIOS) but it is supported by the following operating systems (S4_OS= Hibernate):
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Linux.
This table lists the “Wake Events” that resume the system from S3 unless otherwise stated in the “Conditions/Remarks” column:
Wake Event Conditions/Remarks
Power Button Wakes unconditionally from S3-S5.
Onboard LAN Event Device driver must be congured for Wake On LAN support.
SMBALERT# Wakes unconditionally from S3-S5.
PCI Express WAKE# Wakes unconditionally from S3-S5.
PME# Activate the wake up capabilities of a PCI device using Windows Device Manager conguration options for this device OR set Resume On
PME# to Enabled in the Power setup menu.
USB Mouse/Keyboard Event When Standby mode is set to S3, USB hardware must be powered by standby power source.
Set USB Device Wakeup from S3/S4 to ENABLED in the ACPI setup menu (if setup node is available in BIOS setup program).
In Device Manager look for the keyboard/mouse devices. Go to the Power Management tab and check ‘Allow this device to bring the computer
out of standby’.
RTC Alarm Activate and congure Resume On RTC Alarm in the Power setup menu. Only available in S5.
Watchdog Power Button Event Wakes unconditionally from S3-S5.
7.4 Low Voltage Memory (DDR3L)
The Haswell ULT processor featured on the conga-TC87 supports low voltage system memory interface. The memory interface I/O voltage
is 1.35V and supports non-ECC, unbuffered DDR3L SO-DIMMs. With this low voltage system memory interface on the processor, the conga-
TC87 offers a system optimized for lowest possible power consumption. The reduction in power consumption due to lower voltage subsequently
reduces the heat generated.
Caution
The usage of DDR3@1.5V SO-DIMM modules may affect the stability or boot-up of the conga-TC87. Therefore use only non-ECC, unbuffered
DDR3L SO-DIMM memory modules up to 1600 MT/s on the conga-TC87.

7.5 USB 2.0 EHCI Host Controller Support
The 8 available USB ports are provided by a USB 2.0 Rate Matching Hub (RMH) integrated within the Intel® 8 Series PCH-LP . The EHCI
controller is connected to the hub as shown below. The Hub convert low and full-speed trafc into high-speed trafc. When the RMHs are
enabled, they will appear to software like an external hub is connected to Port 0 of the EHCI controller. In addition, port 1 of the RMH is
multiplexed with Port 1 of the EHCI controller and is able to bypass the RMH for use as the Debug Port. The hub operates like any USB 2.0
Discrete Hub and will consume one tier of hubs allowed by the USB 2.0 Spec. A maximum of four additional non-root hubs can be supported
on any of the PCH USB Ports. The RMH will report the following Vendor ID = 8087h and Product ID = 8000h.

The TYPE pins indicate to the Carrier Board the Pin-out Type that is implemented on the module. The pins are tied on
the module to either ground (GND) or are no-connects (NC). For Pinout Type 1, these pins are don’t care (X). PDS TYPE[0:2]# signals are
available on all modules
following the Type 2-6
Pinout standard.
The conga-TC87 is based
on the COM Express Type

and pin 2 is connected to
GND.

The Carrier Board should implement combinatorial logic that monitors the module TYPE pins and keeps power off
(e.g deactivates the ATX_ON signal for an ATX power supply) if an incompatible module pin-out type is detected. The
Carrier Board logic may also implement a fault indicator such as an LED.
TYPE10# A97 Dual use pin. Indicates to the carrier board that a Type 10 module is installed. Indicates to the carrier that a Rev. 1.0/2.0

This pin is reclaimed from VCC_12V pool. In R1.0 modules this pin will connect to other VCC_12V pins. In R2.0 this pin
is dened as a no-connect for Types 1-6. A carrier can detect a R1.0 module by the presence of 12V on this pin. R2.0
module Types 1-6 will no-connect this pin. Type 10 modules shall pull this pin to ground through a 4.7k resistor.

Caution
The signals listed in the table above are used as chipset conguration straps during system reset. In this condition (during reset), they are
inputs that are pulled to the correct state by either COM Express™ internally implemented resistors or chipset internally implemented resistors
that are located on the module. No external DC loads or external pull-up or pull-down resistors should change the conguration of the signals
listed in the above table. External resistors may override the internal strap states and cause the COM Express™ module to malfunction and/or
cause irreparable damage to the module.

9 System Resources
9.1 I/O Address Assignment
The I/O address assignment of the conga-TC87 module is functionally identical with a standard PC/AT.
Note
The BIOS assigns PCI and PCI Express I/O resources from FFF0h downwards. Non PnP/PCI/PCI Express compliant devices must not
consume I/O resources in that area.
9.1.1 LPC Bus
On the conga-TC87, the PCI Express Bus acts as the subtractive decoding agent. All I/O cycles that are not positively decoded are forwarded to
the internal PCI Bus not the LPC Bus. Only specied I/O ranges are forwarded to the LPC Bus. In the congatec Embedded BIOS, the following
I/O address ranges are sent to the LPC Bus:
2Eh – 2Fh
4Eh – 4Fh
60h, 64h
A00h – BFFh
C00h – CFFh (always used internally)
Parts of these ranges are not available if a Super I/O is used on the carrier board. If a Super I/O is not implemented on the carrier board,
then these ranges are available for customer use. If you require additional LPC Bus resources other than those mentioned above, or more
information about this subject, contact congatec technical support for assistance.
