Jan. 27, 2017 – Kontron, a provider of Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), has introduced a new series of credit card-sized Computer-on-Modules based on the latest generation Intel Atom, Pentium and Celeron processors.

According to Kontron, the COMe-mAL10 performance range of COM Express mini modules is highly scalable and covers the entire range of Intel’s latest IoT-ready embedded processors. A range of module variants (based on five different processor types) make up the COMe-mAL10 portfolio. Versions range from a dual-core Intel Celeron (2.3 GHz with 6W TDP) iteration optimized for energy-sensitive applications to quad-core Intel Atom (4x 1.6/2.0 GHz with 13W TDP) and Intel Pentium (4x 1.1/2.5 GHz with 10W TDP) versions for high-end applications. The COMe-mAL10 supports two independent displays – 1x DP++ (DP/HDMI/DVI) 4096×2160@60Hz, 1x Single Channel LVDS with DPtoLVDS (eDP on request) 3840×2160@30Hz. In addition to having two serial ports, the series includes USB 3.0 interfaces, up to eight USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, as well as four PCI-Express Gen2 lanes for customer specific expansions.
