Overview
The COM Express mainboard MB-COME-1 in combination with a standard COM Express module forms a very compact hardware kit that can be used for a freely scalable embedded PC platform thanks to its modular design. Because of this – with uniform interfaces and mechanical dimensions – the PC system can be easily adjusted to suit the requirements of the application. The many extension options and storage media that can be added offer a high level of flexibility and allow functionalities and performance to be extended easily, quickly and inexpensively. Typical uses are found in embedded server applications, PC systems for automation, visualisation and monitoring and all applications that place high demands on quality, durability and long-term availability.

Accessories
Many accessories are available to extend the functions of the hardware kit and for mechanical integration, providing a modular design with many different combination options, also on a system level.
- Riser cards for standard PCI and/or PCIe cards
- Housing and installation accessories
- Power units
- Storage media / Mass storage
Also ask for special accessories for your project.
Riser cards for standard PCI and/or PCIe cards
The following Riser cards are currently available as standard product:
RISER-COME-PCI for a standard PCI card (32 bit) below the mainboard Manufacturer: TQ |  |
RISER-COME-PCIe for a standard PCIe card (x1) below the mainboard Manufacturer: TQ |  |
Housing and installation accessories
Our cooperation partner apra-norm provides housings that are developed especially for the Embedded Bulding Blocks:
Embedded-PC chassis suitable for COMKits with Heatspreader
Datasheet: EBB Embedded-PC chassis (German) Manufacturer: apra-norm Source of supply: TQ / apra-norm (Article#: 205-400-00) |  |
For the installation of the COMKits in standard Mini-ITX housing the following assembly set is provided:
COMSet-Mini-ITX consisting of
Manufacturer: TQ Note: Especially when having very compact housings, the mechanical integration options have to be verified by the user, as a collision with the fixing clamps may occur (depending on the housing construction). | . |
Power units
The power supply of the COMKits corresponds to standard-ATX (20 pin), so that standard ATX power units may be used.
For a preferably compact construction and for the integration in the housings from apra-norm, that are especially developed for the Embedded Building Blocks, the following power units fit best:
picoPSU power unit series Miniatur DC/DC ATX power unit Available with different output classes and input voltages. For running on system voltages (e.g. 230V) an external AC/DC power unit is additionally required. Manufacturer: mini-box.com Source of supply: divers (examples as follows) |  |
| Type | Info | Source of supply examples | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| picoPSU-80 | 80W / 12V (yellow) | Link | ||||
| picoPSU-90 | 90W / 12V (yellow) | Link | ||||
| picoPSU-120 | 120W / 12V (yellow) | Link | ||||

| M3-ATX | 125W / Kfz (blue) | Link | ||||
| M3-ATX-HV | 95W / Kfz (blue) | Link | ||||
Please note the detailed specifications of the manufacturer (voltages, currents, installation notes). Additional bundles consisting of picoPSU power unit and AC/DC power unit are provided from divers supplier.
Notes:
For running the COMKits the 80W variant (picoPSU-80 respectively picoPSU-80-WI-32) is sufficient, unless the supply voltage is strongly loaded by additional components. For systems with CPU power dissipation of 35 W and higher please use the 120 W variant (picoPSU-120 respectively picoPSU-120-WI-25).
At TQ the picoPSU-80, picoPSU-80-WI-32, picoPSU-120 and picoPSU-120-WI-25 variants have been employed until now.
Storage media / Mass storage
Standard mass storage (2,5" SATA HDD / 2,5" SATA SDD, CompactFlash, CFast Flash-Cards and USB-Flash-Drives) may be employed for COMKits.
All tested storage media have not shown any technical concerns until now. A compatibility list is not yet available.
For harsh environments and raised temperature requirements it is recommended to employ flash based storage media. Especially for passive cooled systems, that are set up with closed housings, flash based storage media should be used. Those storage media have definite less self-heating than hard disks (HDDs) and therefore Hot-Spots in closed housings may be avoided.
When using hard disks it should be paid attention to the fact that for applications with raised requirements regarding temperature, permanent operation, life time and reliability models are needed that are specified for "Industrial" respectively "Automotive".
