Distec GmbH - one of Germany's leading specialists in TFT flat panel displays and system solutions for industrial and multimedia applications - is adding congatec's new SMARC™ 2.1 module conga-SA7 to its product range. The SMARC™ computer-on-module is available with the new Intel® Elkhard Lake processor Atom x6000E, Pentium® J6xxx and N6xxx or with the Celeron® J6xxx and N6xxx. "Small, robust and powerful," is how Thomas Schrefel, Embedded Product Manager at Distec, described the new SMARC™ module. "Particularly impressive are the significantly improved processor and graphics performance of up to 200% with low power consumption." With the new processor architecture, Intel says single-thread performance has been increased by 1.7 times, multi-thread performance by 1.5 times and graphics even by double. The conga-SA7 can be operated fanless and withstands harsh environments with vibrations and temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Those who do not require the industrial temperature range can use the commercial version from 0°C to +60°C. The module is therefore predestined for a wide range of requirements in the fields ...
... of medical technology, transportation, measurement technology and many more.

Long-term availability and industrial quality

The compact SMARC module with dimensions of only 82 x 50 mm is currently scheduled for availability until at least 2030. Due to this long-term availability, its industrial design and the universal SMARC form factor, it offers high flexibility and best reliability for high-quality applications.

Connection diversity in a small area

Despite its small size, the conga-SA7 with its MXM3 connector offers 314 pins to connect the module to the carrier board. DP++, two Gigabit LAN ports with TSN support, two USB 3.1 Gen2, six USB 2.0, SATA, up to 4 PCIe lane, 4x UART, I2C and many more connectors are available. In addition, the conga-SA7 offers two onboard CAN interfaces. Optionally, the SMARC™ 2.1 module is available with Wifi/BT, LVDS and/or additional DP++.
For fast development success, two carrier boards with different functionalities are currently available from congatec.
