COM Express® Documentation
This product manual serves as one of three principal references for a COM Express® design. It documents the
specifications and features of COMe-mBT10. Additional references are available at your
»
The COM Express® Specification defines the COM Express® module form factor, pin-out, and signals. This
document is available at the PICMG® website by filling out the order form.
»
The COM Express® Design Guide by PICMG® serves as a general guide for baseboard design, with a focus on
maximum flexibility to accommodate a wide range of COM Express® modules.
Some of the information contained within this product manual applies only to certain
product revisions (CE: xxx). If certain information applies to specific product revisions (CE:
xxx) it will be stated. Please check the product revision of your module to see if this
information is applicable.

COM Express® Benefits
COM Express® modules are very compact, highly integrated computers. All Kontron COM Express® modules feature a
standardized form factor and a standardized connector layout which carry a specified set of signals. Each COM is based
on the COM Express® specification. This standardization allows designers to create a single-system baseboard that can
accept present and future COM Express® modules.
The baseboard designer can optimize exactly how each of these functions implements physically. Designers can place
connectors precisely where needed for the application on a baseboard designed to optimally fit a system’s packaging.
A single baseboard design can use a range of COM Express® modules with different sizes and pin-outs. This flexibility
can differentiate products at various price/performance points, or when designing future proof systems that have a
built-in upgrade path. The modularity of a COM Express® solution also ensures against obsolescence when computer
technology evolves. A properly designed COM Express® baseboard can work with several successive generations of COM
Express® modules.
A COM Express® baseboard design has many advantages of a customized computer-board design and, additionally,
delivers better obsolescence protection, heavily reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market.
