Computer-on-Module

A computer-on-module (COM) is a device that can be integrated into electronic systems. It is a compact module that includes all the components needed for a computer system, such as the processor, memory, and input/output interfaces. The COM can be plugged into a custom-designed carrier board, which provides the necessary power and connectivity to interact with other devices in the system.

One of the main advantages of using a COM is its flexibility and ease of integration. Developers can quickly and easily add computing power to their electronic systems without designing and building a custom motherboard. This saves time and resources, as well as simplifies the design process.

Computer-on-Module

COMs are often used in embedded systems, such as industrial automation, medical devices, transportation systems, and military equipment. They are also used in other applications, including kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, and internet of things (IoT) devices.

Module ─ Solutions That Grow With You

The CPU module delivers the core functionality while all application-specific features are designed into the baseboard creating a semi-custom embedded PC solution. If you want to enable faster time-to-market and cost-effective customization alternatives, COM (Computer-On-Module) is the answer. COMs are highly integrated component SBCs that support system expansion and application-specific customizations and improve form, fit, and function, minimizing current and future design risks. They also provide lower product lifecycle costs through module scalability and interchangeability.

Computer-On-Module Types

COM-Express®

COM Express defines standardized form factors and pin-outs for Computer-on-Modules. The standard includes the mini form factor (84 x 55mm), the compact form factor (95 x 95mm), and the primary form factor (125 x 95mm). Digital Display Interfaces (DisplayPort, HDMI®) and super-fast USB 3.0 were recently added to the pin-out definitions for COM Express modules to serve industry requirements.

Qseven Module (70 x 70mm) size of the Computer-on-Modules.

Qseven Module

Qseven modules, developed by the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET), offer system developers low-power, energy-efficient solutions perfect for applications where space is a constraint. With footprints as small as 70 mm x 70 mm, Qseven modules are the ideal choice for embedded applications that require small form-factor computing.

SMARC Module (82 x 50mm/82 x 80mm) size of the Computer-on-Modules.

SMARC Module

The SMARC (“Smart Mobility ARChitecture”) is a versatile small form factor computer Module definition targeting applications that require low power, low costs, and high performance. Module sizes are 82mm x 50mm and 82mm x 80mm with 314 edge fingers that mate with a low profile 314 pins 0.5mm pitch right angle connector.

Development boards (Carrier Boards)

Portwell’s COM-Express®, Qseven, and SMARC development (carrier) boards help customers evaluate and establish customer application programs before starting the carrier board design. It can be used as a reference design to reduce customers’ design effort and assess performance and computing reliability early.
