5.4.2
USB 3.0
The conga-MA5 offers two USB 3.0 ports on the COM Express connector. Both USB 3.0 ports are controlled by a xHCI host controller in the
SoC. The xHCI host controller allows data transfers of up to 5 Gb/s and supports SuperSpeed, high-speed, full-speed and low-speed USB
signalling.
5.5
ExpressCard™
The conga-MA5 supports the implementation of ExpressCards, which requires the dedication of one USB port and a x1 PCI Express link for
each ExpressCard used.
5.6
High Definition Audio (HDA) Interface
The conga-MA5 provides an interface to connect an HDA audio codec. Only one external HDA codec is supported.
5.7
Digital Display Interface
The conga-MA5 offers two Display Interfaces on the COM Express connector. The DDI0 supports DP or HDMI/DVI and the Local Flat Panel
interface supports LVDS by default (via an eDP to LVDS bridge IC) or eDP as an assembly option.
Two independent displays are supported with combinations shown below:

Note
To support the HDMI/DVI interface, implement an external level translator/shifter (e.g. PTN3360D) on the carrier board. To support the
maximum resolution of the DP or HDMI/DVI, implement a retimer. For non-default display configuration, you need a customized conga-MA5
variant.
