Chapter 1 About This Manual Carrier board designers can utilize as little or as many of the I/O interfaces as necessary. The carrier board can therefore provide all the interface connectors required to attach the system to the application specific peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a dense and optimized package, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying system integration. Most importantly, COM Express™ modules are scalable, which means once an appli

Chapter 2 Specifications Heatspreader An important factor for each system integration is the thermal design. The heatspreader acts as a thermal coupling device to the module. It is a 3mm thick aluminum plate. The heatspreader is thermally coupled to the CPU via a thermal gap filler and on some modules it may also be thermally coupled to other heat generating components with the use of additional thermal gap fillers. Although the heatspreader is the thermal interface where most of the heat gene
