conga-PA5

conga-PA5 is the single board computer of a form factor Pico-ITX.

On November 8, 2016 the congatec company provided the single board computer (SBC) conga-PA5 of a form factor Pico-ITX and the conga-IA5 motherboard of a form factor Thin Mini-ITX.

It devices of an industrial class, for a long time available computing platforms executed on the platform of the Intel processors Atom, Celeron and Pentium (a code name of Apollo Lake). Products provide the increased performance at the set heat release, help to reduce energy consumption, battery life at the set operational requirements.

Application:

• portable devices of small dimensions,
• industrial PCs and IoT-gateways for thin clients of an industrial class,
• thin human-computer interfaces (HMI)
• graphical interfaces (GUI) with small energy consumption.

Segments of the markets:

• markets of the equipment for a complete set of smart homes and "smart cities",
• digital signs
• equipment for retail,
• medical equipment,
• game industry
• systems of industrial automation,
• management systems in production workshops and logistics systems.

The single board computers conga-PA5 of a form factor Pico-ITX and the conga-IA5 motherboards of a form factor Mini-ITX are improved regarding security, computing opportunities in real time, capabilities to save synchronization of the built-in systems of devices of technology of Internet of Things (IoT).

With these new payments expanded operating temperature range from -40 °C to + 85 °C returns to the list of the supported functions. Therefore, all old constructions executed based on the Bay Trail processor with transition to use of new main cores with an expanded set of functions, can receive much higher performance now. It does new generation of motherboards and single board computers also and much more attractive, than their predecessors on the basis of Braswell processors. For developers of devices IoT, the new connector for SIM cards which is available on our payments of Thin Mini-ITX as it allows to have new and very fast solutions in a part cellular communications with data transfer rate to several hundred Mbps and even more is of special interest, considering the forthcoming implementation of the virtualized networks 4G/5G.

Specifications

Conga-IA5 motherboards of a form factor Thin Mini-ITX of congatec company and rather tonkoprofilny single board computers conga-PA5 of a form factor Pico-ITX, are equipped with the energy efficient, low-consuming Intel processors Atom E3930, E3940 and E3950 which have the expanded temperature range, necessary for the equipment of an industrial class, from -40 °C to + 85 °C. These devices can be also equipped with processors with higher performance and low power consumption, namely – dual-core processors of Intel Celeron N3350 and the quad-core Intel processors Pentium N4200.

All options of payments are offered with the built-in graphics of Intel Gen 9 having up to 18 graphic executive blocks and with support to three independent displays of high resolution 4k, displays with connection through two DP ++ with complete 4k at frame rate of 60 Hz and through two-channel LVDS. Conga-IA5 motherboards allow to use high-speed LPDDR4 RAM memory with a capacity up to 8 GB.

The single board computers conga-PA5 are offered from the RAM of LPDDR4 8 GB preset on a payment with an information exchange rate to 2400 MT/with (megatransactions per second). For connection of IoT and the general expansions two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the mPCIe line, three ports USB 3.0 and up to 3 USB 2.0 ports are provided. Additional peripheral devices can be connected via two serial interfaces (RS232/RS422/RS485) and 8 GPIO. Two inputs for the MIPI CSI video camera are in addition provided. For connection of information media both payments have to two SATA Gen 3.0 from 6 GB and also the slot for the memory cards Micro SD. Signals are transmitted by audio through HDA. For the applications sensitive to security both families of single board computers also offer TPM 2.0.

Thanks to the bigger occupied space, the conga-IA5 motherboard of a form factor Thin Mini-ITX offers additional interfaces, including the slot for the SIM card for direct connections of WAN in a cloud and IoT, the ccTalk and SPI interface which it is required in many game and trade applications and also the additional M.2 slot for connection of information media and USB 3.0 OTG. Single board computers of a form factor Pico-ITX which are intended for limited on the occupied space of the devices working in severe conditions of the environment are delivered with USB 3.0 Type C supporting also Power Delivery and DP ++.

Motherboards of the single board computers Mini-ITX and Pico-ITX support Windows 10 Windows 10 IoT, WinDriver VxWorks, Android and Linux widespread versions.
