COM Express Modules: The Flexible Core of Your Embedded System

The ability to rapidly develop and deploy new computing technologies keeps your products ahead of the competition. COM Express (Computer-on-Module) is a standardized solution that addresses this need by separating the core CPU functionality from the carrier board. This modular approach provides unparalleled design flexibility, reduced time-to-market, and a streamlined path for future upgrades.

Westward Sales offers a wide selection of COM Express modules from industry-leading manufacturers, including ARBOR Technology and Axiomtek.

Understanding the COM Express Benefits

COM Express modules are essentially a self-contained computer on a small circuit board.

 

They include the CPU, memory, chipset, and core I/O functions. This "system on a module" is then connected to a custom-designed carrier board that provides all the application-specific I/O interfaces, such as specialized connectors, expansion slots, and I/O headers. This innovative architecture offers several key benefits:

  • Design Scalability and Flexibility: The modular design allows engineers to scale their projects. By simply replacing a COM Express module with the next-generation one, you can upgrade the CPU performance without redesigning the entire carrier board. It protects your initial development investment and extends the product's lifecycle. It's a cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications.
     
  • Faster Time-to-Market: With a standardized COM Express module, you can focus your development efforts on the unique features of your carrier board. The design and testing cycles are significantly reduced, enabling the product to reach the market faster and gain a competitive edge.
     
  • Reduced Development Costs: By leveraging the pre-validated design of a COM Express module, you can avoid the complex and costly work of designing high-speed digital circuits. Simplifying the development process lowers overall project costs, from engineering time to PCB manufacturing.

Diverse COM Express Selection

Our product catalog features a range of COM Express form factors to cater to diverse application requirements. We offer Type 6 Basic and Type 6 Compact modules, which are ideal for high-performance and space-constrained applications, respectively. For even smaller designs, our Type 10 Mini modules offer a powerful solution in a remarkably compact footprint.

A broad spectrum of processors powers these modules to match any performance requirement. Our selection includes high-performance Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processors for compute-intensive tasks, energy-efficient Intel Atom and Pentium processors for fanless and low-power designs, as well as powerful AMD Ryzen processors for demanding industrial and AI applications. This diversity ensures that you can find the perfect balance of performance and power consumption for your specific project.

Our COM Express modules are also equipped with a range of advanced features to meet the demands of modern industrial environments. Several boards offer a wide temperature range, ensuring reliable operation in extreme conditions. They also offer robust connectivity options, including high-speed 1 GbE and 2.5 GbE Ethernet, to facilitate seamless data transfer and network integration.
