Introduction

Kontron is expanding its range of compact and low powered fanless COM Express compact options with the launch of the Kontron COMe-cBW6 COM Express® compact Computer-on-Modules. The new modules in the compact form factor (95 x 95 mm) is equipped with models from the Intel® Pentium® / Celeron® N3000 series with models from a low power dual core 1.04GHz model (4W TDP) to a quad-core 1.6GHz model (just 6W TDP).

Up to 8 Gigabyte of energy-efficient DDR3L RAM satisfies even highest memory demands. State-of-the-art multi-display designs are enabled by three independent display outputs, executed via 2x DP++ (DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI) and 1x Dual Channel LVDS. Standard interfaces include up to 2x SATA 3Gbit/s ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 4x USB 3.0/2.0 ports and 4x USB 2.0. Application-specific extensions on the carrier board are connected via 3x PCIe x1 (or 1x PCI x4 but without onboard LAN). The wide-range (8.5 - 20V) power supply and MARS smart battery support simplify mobile and battery-powered designs. eMMC flash (up to 32GB) is a factory option. There is support for Win7, Win8.1, WES8, Win 10 (all 64Bit) and Linux.
