congatec AG extends its COM Express product family with the module conga-B945. It features the Intel Core Duo Processors up to 2x2 GHz and 2 MByte L2 Cache. The board is equipped with Intel's latest 65 nm Core Duo processors up to T2500 2.0 GHz with 2 MByte cache and 667 MHz frontside bus. It's based on the Intel 82945GM chipset. Five PCI Express lanes, PCI Express Graphic (PEGx16), eight USB 2.0 ports, two Serial ATA interfaces and signals for two ExpressCards allow system extensions. Fan control, LPC bus for slow speed extensions and HDA, a digital audio interface, complete the feature set.

Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which is a chipset integrated graphics controller, allows for more than 10 GB/s bandwidth to a maximum of 224 MByte video memory allocation. Both independent graphic pipelines can use either 2x24 Bit LVDS, SDVO, TV-Out or analog VGA.

The conga-B945 implements the EPI (Embedded Panel Interface) standard allowing for automatic recognition of the attached flat panel display. Battery support and ACPI 2.0 compliant enhanced power management features enable the conga‑B945 to meet the needs of the mobile computing market.

The conga-B945 is available for mass production from April 2007. Engineering samples are available now.
