Features
Qseven
Qseven (Q7) is a standardized form factor for a Computer-On-Module
with all the core components integrated on the module. It is mounted
on a carrier board designed for industry-specific applications and I/O
ports. A high-speed MXM connector with standardized pinout is re-
quired to carry signals between a Qseven module and its carrier board.
LPDDR4
LPDDR is a type of DDR SDRAM that operates at a lower power volt-
age and is commonly used in mobile devices as opposed to traditional
SDRAMs that are used in stationary devices and laptops. Each gen-
eration of LPDDR has doubled its prefetch size and increased its data
transfer rate, with LPDDR4’s prefetch size being 16 and data transfer
rate at 3200MHz.
Graphics
The integrated Intel
®
HD graphics engine delivers an excellent blend of
graphics performance and features to meet business needs. It provides
excellent video and 3D graphics with outstanding graphics responsive-
ness. These enhancements deliver the performance and compatibility
needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications. Supports 1 x
DDI (HDMI/DVI/ DP++) and 1 x LVDS/(eDP+optional DDI) interfaces for
display outputs.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 2.0a speci-
fication. With speed of up to 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), it improves hard drive
performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer
rate is 100MB/s.
Gigabit LAN
Intel
®
I211AT or I210IT Gigabit Ethernet controller supports up to 1Gbps
data transmission.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly
“clear” the system at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails
to function, it will reset at the set time interval so that your system will
continue to operate.
The table below listes the Qseven standard specifications and the corresponding specifications supported by the
AL701 module.
