CoreModule 720
CPU
The CoreModule 720 offers three versions of the Intel Atom E6XXT CPU—the E620T, E660T, and
E680T—operating at 600MHz, 1.3GHz, and 1.6GHz, respectively. The E6XXT integrates a high-
performance x86 Processor Core with Memory Controller and 3D Graphics Engine. This single chip is
based on 45-nm process technology and provides an open-standard PCI Express v1.0 interface, supporting
user-defined PCH, ASIC, FPGA, and off-the-shelf discrete components, ideal for deeply embedded
applications.
Graphics
The E6XXT CPU provides a 2D/3D graphics engine that performs pixel shading and vertex shading within
a single hardware accelerator, which minimizes access to memory and improves render performance.
Memory
The CoreModule 720 employs two ranks of four system DRAM memory chips, which provide up to 2GB of
extended memory, supporting aggressive power management to reduce power consumption, shallow self-
refresh and a new deep self-refresh, proactive page closing policies to close unused pages, and partial writes
through data mask pins.
NOTE
ADLINK Technology, Inc. only supports the features and options listed in this
manual. The main components used on the CoreModule 720 may provide more
features or options than are listed in this manual. Some of these features and
options are not supported on the module and will not function as specified in the
chip documentation.
The pin-out tables only of non-standard headers and connectors are included in
this chapter. This chapter does not include pin-out tables for standard headers,
connectors, and sockets such as SATA, SD memory, PC/104, and PC/104-Plus.
