Adding to its Qseven and COM Express product range, congatecAG has introduced new modules based on the 2nd generation AMD Embedded G-Series SoC processors.

The devices are optimised to achieve higher performance and a lower power draw thanks to an improved Jaguar+ CPU architecture and AMD Radeon 8000 graphics core.

The company says graphics engine speed has been increased up to 800MHz and the DDR3 interface up to 1866 MT/s.

The new Qseven modules support the dual-core AMD GX-212JC 1.2GHz with a boost frequency of 1.4GHz and 6W TDP, as well as the quad-core AMD GX-412HC 1.2GHz with a boost frequency of 1.6GHz and 7wTDP.

The modules feature on-board ECC memory support and are suited to safety-critical applications. Depending on the design, they come with up to 4GB of ECC DDR3L RAM to allow for the correction of single and double bit errors.

The Qseven modules support 1x USB 3.0 SuperSpeed and 5x USB 2.0 ports, while the COM Express Compact modules provide 2x USB 3.0 SuperSpeed and 8x USB 2.0 ports.

Both families provide up to four PCI Express x1 Gen 2 lanes, two SATA 3Gb/s ports and a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
