Signal Descriptions and Pinout Tables
The following section describes the signals found on COM Express™ Type 10 connectors used for congatec AG modules. The pinout of the
modules complies with COM Express Type 10 Rev. 2.1.
The table below describes the terminology used in this section for the Signal Description tables. The PU/PD column indicates if a COM
Express™ module pull-up or pull-down resistor has been used. If the field entry area in this column for the signal is empty, then no pull-up or
pull-down resistor has been implemented by congatec.
The “#” symbol at the end of the signal name indicates that the active or asserted state occurs when the signal is at a low voltage level. When
“#” is not present, the signal is asserted when at a high voltage level.
Note
The Signal Description tables do not list internal pull-ups or pull-downs implemented by the chip vendors, only pull-ups or pull-downs
implemented by congatec are listed. For information about the internal pull-ups or pull-downs implemented by the chip vendors, refer to
the respective chip’s datasheet.
