COM Express Modules function over wide temperature ranges.
March 5, 2010 -
Models CME-Atom and CME-965 COM Express 1.0 modules are rated for operation either over -20 to +71°C or -20 to +85°C temperature ranges. Measuring 3.7 x 4.9 in., they integrate low-power Intel processor, DDR2 SDRAM, and set of PC-compatible system controllers/interfaces. Modules feature 8 USB 2.0 ports; GbE LAN interface; and high-resolution VGA CRT and LVDS LCD video, audio in/out, and mass storage interfaces. They also provide PCI Express, 32-bit PCI, and LPC expansion bus signals.

COM Express Modules Take the Heat
Leading embedded solution provider debuts wide-temperature COM Express Modules based on low-power Intel® Atom and Core 2 Duo CPUs
Nuremberg, GERMANY - Diamond Systems Corp., a leading supplier of ruggedized single-board computers (SBCs) and I/O expansion modules targeting real-world applications, today launched a family of COM Express 1.0 compliant computer-on-modules (COMs) based on Intel's low-power, high-performance Atom and Core processors. Rated for operation over enhanced (-20 to +71°C) and extended (-40 to +85°C) temperature ranges, the modules are well suited to a broad range of fixed and mobile applications in the defense, avionics, transportation, energy management, and industrial automation sectors.
Within the industry-standard 3.7 x 4.9-inch (95 x 125 mm) COM Express footprint, the CME-Atom and CME-965 each integrate a high-performance, low-power Intel processor, DDR2 SDRAM, and a complete set of PC-compatible system controllers and interfaces. Both modules provide eight USB 2.0 ports, a gigabit Ethernet LAN interface, high-resolution VGA CRT and LVDS LCD video, audio in and out, and mass storage interfaces. Additionally, both provide PCI Express, 32-bit PCI, and LPC expansion bus signals for connection to external generic or application-specific baseboards.
