Naming of Signals
A hash mark (#) at the end of the signal name indicates a low-active signal.
Example: RESET#
If a signal can switch between two functions and if this is noted in the name of the signal, the low-active function is marked with
a hash mark and shown at the end.
Example: C / D#
If a signal has multiple functions, the individual functions are separated by slashes when they are important for the wiring.
The identification of the individual functions follows the above conventions.
Example: WE2# / OE#

•
Software behaviour:
No warranty can be given, nor responsibility taken for any unexpected software behaviour due to deficient components.
•
General expertise:
Expertise in electrical engineering / computer engineering is required for the installation and the use of the device.
Implementation information for the carrier board design is provided in the SMARC Design Guide (2) maintained by the SGET
(Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies). This Carrier Design Guide includes a very good guideline to design SMARC
carrier board.
It includes detailed information with schematics and detailed layout guidelines.
Please refer to the official SGET documentation for additional information (1).

INTRODUCTION
The TQ module TQMxE39S is based on the latest generation of Intel
®
Atom
™
, Pentium
®
and Celeron
®
CPUs (code name
“Apollo Lake”). It achieves a new level of computing performance, security and media processing performance in a very compact
form factor to empower real-time computing, industrial automation, digital surveillance, aviation, medical, retail and more.
The TQMxE39S corresponds to the internationally established SGET standard SMARC (V2.0). 6 USB ports – including 2 USB 3.0 –
and up to 4 PCIe lanes natively supported by the CPUs enable high bandwidth communication with peripherals and additional
interfaces on the carrier board. With the latest Intel
®
graphics processor integrated, the TQMxE39S delivers 4K high resolution
graphics output, immersive 3D processing and also greatly increased video encode and playback performance.
Time coordinated computing capabilities enable time synchronized processes within IoT networks and industrial control
applications. On-board eMMC up to 64 Gbyte and the option for LVDS or native eDP enable flexibility and reduce overall BOM
cost.
The integrated TQMx86 board controller enables high flexibility through “flexiCFG” and supports thermal management,
watchdog, 16550 compatible UARTs I
2
C controllers and GPIO handling. Combined with options like conformal coating and
optimized cooling solutions the TQMxE39S perfectly fits for mobile, low power, low profile and battery driven applications in
multiple vertical markets like industrial automation, medical devices, transportation and others.
