X-ES COM Express Development Platform speeds SFF Systems Deployment

The CX-DP includes all of the functionality of the X-ES XPand6000 series, including support for a COM Express module, a PMC or XMC, and an SSD. The CX-DP provides basic COM Express I/O via fixed connectors, which are accessible through the back panel of its ATX chassis. Removing the ATX case cover gives access to internal fixed I/O and PIM I/O.

For Freescale QorIQ-based development, the CX-DP supports Type 5FS and Type 10 COM Express modules; and for Intel Core i7 processor-based development, the CX-DP supports Type 6 and Type 10 COM Express modules.

An integrated fan located below the PMC/XMC site provides ample airflow for the most power-hungry modules. The CX-DP requires only +12 V from the ATX power supply, and it generates +5 V, +3.3 V, and -12 V supplies, avoiding voltage drops and power distribution problems commonly associated with using high-power cards and ATX supplies.
