Introduction
1.1
Mini-ITX Concept
The Mini-ITX form factor provides enthusiasts and manufacturers with a standardized ultra compact platform for development. With a footprint
of 170 mm x170 mm, this scalable platform promotes the design of highly integrated, energy efficient systems. Due to its small size, the Mini-
ITX form factor enables PC appliance designers not only to design attractive low cost devices but also allows them to explore a huge variety of
product development options - from compact space-saving designs to fully functional Information Station and Value PC systems. This helps to
reduce product design cycle and encourages rapid innovation in system design, to meet the ever-changing needs of the market.
Additionally, the boards can also be passively cooled, presenting opportunities for fanless designs. The Mini-ITX boards are equipped with
various interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA, USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, Displays and Audio.

conga-IC170
The conga-IC170 is a Single Board Computer designed based on the Thin Mini-ITX specification. The conga-IC170 SBC features the 6th
Generation Intel Core U-Series processors. With 15W base TDP, the SBC offers Ultra Low Power boards with high computing performance and
outstanding graphics. Additionally, the SBC supports dual channel DDR4 up to 2133 MT/s for a maximum system memory capacity of 32 GB,
multiple I/O interfaces, up to three independent displays and various congatec embedded features.
With smaller board size and lower height keep-out zones, the conga-IC170 SBC provides manufacturers and system designers with the
opportunity to design compact systems for space restricted areas. With appropriate I/O shield, the same conga-IC170 SBC can be used in
either a Thin Mini-ITX or a Mini-ITX design.
The various features and capabilities offered by the conga-IC170 makes it ideal for the design of compact, energy efficient, performance-
oriented embedded systems.
