With the new Conga-BAF, streaming high-definition multimedia and playing the latest 3D games becomes easy and seamless. “We expect AMD's Fusion technology to bring a differentiating factor to our family of embedded PC modules and to easily adapt to the graphics needs that more and more embedded applications are demanding,” explains Gerhard Edi, CEO of Congatec. “Our customers will have extensive performance scalability within a single platform. This makes designing a system that meets the specific needs of the customer at any given time particularly easy.”.
“The embedded PC sector is growing and evolving rapidly. Therefore, AMD's easily integrated technology allows for shorter product design times and faster time to market,” commented Richard Jaenicke, Director of Product Marketing at AMD. “Congatec's embedded modules, based on AMD processors, give developers direct access to AMD Fusion technology.” Congatec currently integrates five processors from the AMD Embedded G-series platform, ranging from a 1.2 GHz single-core AMD T44R (64 KB L1 cache, 512 KB L2 cache) with a 9 W TDP, to a 1.6 GHz AMD T56N (64 KB L1 cache, 512 KB L2 cache) with an 18 W TDP.
The Conga-BAF uses the AMD Hudson E1 Fusion controller, providing a powerful and compact 2-chip solution with up to 8 GB of single-channel DDR3 memory.
The integrated graphics core features Universal Video Decoder 3.0 for seamless Blu-ray processing via HDCP (1080p), MPEG-2 HD and DivX (MPEG-4) video interfaces supporting DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.0 for fast 2D and 3D image processing, as well as OpenCL 1.1. Graphics interface options include VGA, single-channel LVDS, DisplayPort, and DVI/HDMI, allowing simultaneous control of two independent displays.
Six PCI Express x1 lanes, eight USB 2.0 ports, four SATA ports, one EIDE port, and a Gigabit Ethernet interface allow for flexible system expansion without sacrificing ample data bandwidth. Completing the package are Congatec's module controller capabilities, ACPI 3.0 power management, and high-definition audio.
With the addition of AMD Fusion-enabled processors, Congatec is able to offer high-performance modules at a very competitive price.
