conga-XA945
Low Power Consumption XTX Module
Full featured XTX™ Module featuring the power saving Intel® Atom™ processor N270, 1.6 GHz
ETX® compatible
The conga-XA945 offers high computing performace and low power consumption on ETX® module size. It’s completely ETX® compatible but offers PCI Express, SATA and much more state of the art features by using the ETX® ISA pins.
Mass Storage
Two serial ATA® drives can be connected as fast mass storage devices. In order to support economical and robust CompactFlash cards, parallel ATA is also available.
Connectivity
Thanks to the four PCI Express, six USB 2.0, 2x SATA®, two COM ports, one EIDE, PCI, I²C, LPT,... the conga-XA945 offers more connectivity than most other computer modules.
Graphics Efficiency
The Intel® 945GME chipset features the integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 which provides high performance 3D, 2D and video capabilities. It supports up to 224 MByte frame buffer using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). With EPI support the conga-XA945 automatically recognizes almost every available flat panel display and sets all parameters accordingly. Additional displays can be connected using the analog VGA interface or the DVO port. TV-Out is also supported.
Sound
conga-XA945 can utilize several high definition audio (HDA) codecs. This allows for the easy implementation of telephone and audio applications that require the highest sound quality and numerous channels.
Security
The conga-XA945 can be equipped optionally with a ”Trusted Platform Module” (TPM). This TPM includes coprocessors to calculate efficient hash- and RSA-algorithms with key lengths up to 2,048 bits as well as a real random number generator. Security sensitive applications like gaming and ecommerce will benefit also with improved authentification, integrity and confidence levels.
