2.1 Introduction
The COMe-C55-CT6 is a COM Expressยฎ Type 6, Compact Form Factor, based on the Intelยฎ 8th generation Core or Celeron 4000 series processor, formerly
coded as Whiskey Lake. A complete list of CPUs available is detailed in the next chapter.
All the supported CPUs offer a 64-bit Instruction set. Hyper Threading capabilities are also available on all CPUs, except for Celeron CPUs.
The CPUs have direct access to the memory, which is available on two SODIMM DDR4 memory modules. Depending on the CPU, memory frequencies up to
2400MHz are supported, with a maximum capacity up to 64GB. Please notice that total amount of memory available is OS dependant.
All CPUs integrate an Intelยฎ UHD 620 /610 Graphics Controller, which offers an advanced 2D and 3D graphic engine and it is able to manage up to 3 independent
displays (any combination possible between HDMI, DVI, DP++, eDP, LVDS and VGA). It makes available three Digital Display Interfaces that can be used to drive
external Display Port, HDMI or DVI displays; the DDI interface #0 can be carried out on COM Express connector AB directly for the use as eDP interface or used to
realise a Dual Channel LVDS 18/24bit interface. In the same way, SoCโ€™s DDI interface #2 can be carried out directly on COM Express connector CD or used to
realise a VGA interface by using a dedicated DP-to-VGA bridge.
The SoCโ€™s embedded PCH (Intelยฎ 300 Series PCH) completes the functionalities of the board offering HD Audio Interface, 9 x PCI Express ports (one of them used
to manage a Gigabit Ethernet controller, up to four of them can be grouped to offer a PEG x4 interface), up to 3x Serial ATA channels, eMMC interface, 8 USB 2.0
ports, 4 USB 3.0 ports, Real Time Clock, SPI interfaces, LPC and SM Bus.
The module can be offered with an optional additional TPM module.
Please refer to following chapter for a complete list of all peripherals integrated and characteristics.
The product is COM Expressยฎ Rel.3.0 standard compliant, an open industry standard defined specifically for COMs (computer on modules). Its definition provides
the ability to make a smooth transition from legacy parallel interfaces to the newest technologies based on serial buses available. Specifically, COMe-C55-CT6 is a
COM Expressยฎ module, Compact Form factor, Type 6 (95mm x 95mm).
COM Expressยฎ module integrates all the core components and has to be mounted onto an application-specific carrier board; carrier board designers can utilize as
little or as many of the I/O interfaces as deemed 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 optimised package, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying
system integration. Most important, COM Expressยฎ modules are scalable, which means that once an application has been created there is the ability to diversify the
product range using different performance class or form factor size modules. Simply unplug one module and replace it with another, no redesign is necessary.
The robust thermal and mechanical concept, combined with extended power-management capabilities, is perfectly suited for all applications.

2.3 Electrical Specifications
According to COM Expressยฎ specifications, the COMe-C55-CT6 board needs to be supplied only with an external +12VDC power supply.
5 Volts standby voltage needs to be supplied for working in ATX mode.
For Real Time Clock working and CMOS memory data retention, it is also needed a backup battery voltage. All these voltages are supplied directly through COM
Express Connectors CN6-AB and CN6-CD.
All remaining voltages needed for boardโ€™s working are generated internally from +12VDC power rail.
2.3.1 Power Rails meanings
In all the tables contained in this manual, Power rails are named with the following meaning:
_RUN: Switched voltages, i.e. power rails that are active only when the board is in ACPIโ€™s S0 (Working) state. Examples: +3.3V_RUN, +5V_RUN.
_ALW: Always-on voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPIโ€™s S0 (Working), S3 (Standby) and S5 (Soft Off) state. Examples: +5V_ALW, +3.3V_ALW.
_SUS: unswitched ACPI S3 voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPIโ€™s S0 (Working) and S3 (Standby) state. Examples: +1.5V_SUS.
2.3.2 Power Consumption
COMe-C55-CT6 module, like all COM Express modules, needs a carrier board for its normal working. All connections with the external world come through this
carrier board, which provide also the required voltage to the board, deriving it from its power supply source.
Therefore, power consumptions of the board are measured using a CCOMe-965 Carrier board on +12V_RUN power rail that supplies the board. For this reason, the
values indicated in the table below are real power consumptions of the board, and are independent from those of the peripherals connected to the Carrier Board.
Power consumption in Suspend and Soft-Off States have been measured on +5V_ALW power rail. RTC power consumption has been measured on carrier boardโ€™s
backup battery when the system is not powered (VCC_RTC power rail). For the measurements, it has been used a DC Power Analyzer Keysight N6700B.
The current consumptions, written in the table of next page, have been measured using the following setup:
โ€ข O.S. Windows 10
โ€ข 32GB DDR4 (2 x 16GB SO-DIMM DDR4 2400MHz modules, p/n APACER 75.DA4GJ.G010B)
โ€ข USB mouse and keyboard connected
โ€ข HDMI display connected.

2.4 Mechanical Specifications
The COMe-C55-CT6 is a COM Express board, Compact form Factor type;
therefore its dimensions are 95 mm x 95 mm (3.74โ€ x 3.74โ€).
Printed circuit of the board is made of twelve layers, some of them are ground
planes, for disturbance rejection.
According to COM Express specifications, the carrier board plug can be of two
different heights, 5mm and 8mm.
Whichever connectorโ€™s height is chosen, in designing a custom carrier board please
remember that the SO-DIMM connector on bottom side of COMe-C55-CT6 is 4mm
high (it is the component with the maximum height).
This value must be kept in high consideration when choosing the carrier board plugsโ€™
height, if it is necessary to place components on the carrier board in the zone under
the COM Expressยฎ module.
