Cost-Efficient COM Express Module with 32 nm Celeron CPU

Stutensee, Germany – The high-end MSC CXB-6S COM Express™ module family from MSC Vertriebs GmbH based on the second generation Intel® Core™ processors is going to be offered not only with i3, i5 and i7 CPUs with two or four cores but also with a cost-efficient Celeron® variant. 

The cost-optimized product of the MSC CXB-6S module family integrates the Intel® HM65 PCH chipset and the dual-core Intel® Celeron®  processor B810E, manufactured in 32 nm technology. The CPU is clocked at 1.6 GHz and uses a 2 MB L3 cache. The specified thermal dissipation power (TDP) of the processor is 35 W. Fast dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM modules (two SO-DIMM sockets) – with a maximum capacity of 16 GB – ensure high computing power and at the same time low power consumption. An onboard Intel® HD Graphics 2000 graphics controller supports DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.0. A new cache architecture, the L3 cache, shared by the processor cores and the graphics controller increases the performance significantly compared to the predecessor generation.  

The MSC CXB-6S COM Express™ module family offers six PCI Express™ x 1 channels, an PCI Express™ Graphics (PEG) x 16 interface, the classical 32 Bit PCI bus, eight USB 2.0 ports, HD audio and Gbit-Ethernet. Data can be stored via four SATA II channels with up to 300 MB/s, an enhanced IDE port or on an optionally populated 8 GB NAND flash SSD. The flash disk may even supersede fixed disks in many applications. For the connection of high resolution displays LVDS and VGA interfaces are available, Besides these there are three DisplayPort or HDMI interfaces with a resolution of up to 2560 x 1600 pixels which are multiplexed on the PEG lanes. 

Thanks to its high computing, graphics and video performance, the MSC CXB-6S modules in the basic form factor of 125 mm x 95 mm are best suited for demanding applications in the fields of image processing, medical engineering, casino gaming and for high-resolution digital signage. 

Like all modern MSC COM Express™  platforms, the high-end modules are equipped with innovative hardware based security functionality compliant to the requirements of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). 

For evaluation and design-in MSC supplies universal baseboards. Furthermore MSC offers the design service for application-specific motherboards. The powerful platform runs under the operating systems Windows® 7, Windows® XP (embedded) and Linux. The AMI UEFI BIOS has been implemented on the modules.

A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verification

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process.
