Introduction
Warning
: this is an EA (early available) engineering manual, meaning contents may not properly reflect the actual or final version of this product
The cExpress-TL is the first COM Express® COM.0 R3.0 Compact Size Type 6 module based on the ultra-low-power 11th Generation Intel® Core™
i7/i5/i3, Celeron® processors (formerly “Tiger Lake-UP3”) featuring a brand new Intel® Iris® Xe high performance graphics core and supporting
AVX512-VNNI (Vector Neural Network Instructions) that almost triples AI inferencing performance. A configurable power range of 12 to 28 watts makes
it ideally suited for fan less space-constraint embedded applications. Typical industries in need of such high performance, low power characteristics are
transport, medical, industrial automation and control, edge controllers, robotics and multi camera-based AI.
The cExpress-TL supports BIOS configurable In-band ECC (IBECC) that provides ECC level error correction on standard DDR4 memory. A maximum 64GB
DDR4 3200 MT/s memory capacity, wide operating temperature range, and MIL-STD environmental specifications make it well suited for mission critical
or extreme rugged applications.
The integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics(Gen12) includes features such as OpenGL 4.5, DirectX 12, OpenCL 2.1/2.0/1.2, Intel® Clear Video HD
Technology, and DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) support for full H.265/HEVC 10-bit, VP9 hardware codecs. In addition, High Dynamic Range is
supported for enhanced picture color and quality and digital content protection has been upgraded to HDCP 2.2. Graphics outputs include LVDS and
three DDI ports supporting HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort and eDP/VGA as a build option, with a maximum of four 4K displays supported.
Input/output features include up to eight PCIe Gen3 lanes (through a PCIe switch, project basis support) and PCIe x4 Gen4 lanes that can be used for
NVMe SSD, allowing applications access to the highest speed storage solutions, as well as a single onboard 2.5Gigabit Ethernet port (SKU dependent)
with optional Time Sensitive Network (TSN), four USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Support is provided for SMBus and I2C.
The module is equipped with SPI AMI EFI BIOS with CMOS backup, supporting embedded features such as remote console, hardware monitor, and
watchdog timer.
