Defence-grade COM Express board has server-grade computing capability
Intended for ruggedized applications, the SOM-9590 is the latest Type 7 COM Express basic module, released by Advantech.
The company points out that it can provide a foundation for new product designs due to its server-grade computing capability. It features solder-down design components for reliable performance in applications such as railway transit, defence, mining and communications which require high computing power, data bandwidth and the ability to work in harsh indoor and outdoor environments.
The SOM-9590 delivers server-grade performance powered by Intel Xeon processors and integrated with two 10GBASE-KR interfaces to help fulfil computing demands in edge networks. The native 10GBASE-KR interface can lend itself to the design of 10GbE carrier boards, says Advantech. TPM 2.0 is secured with 128bit capability (up to 256bit), a secure boot, and frozen BIOS to provide protection.
For demanding environments, the SOM-9590’s components, including the processor, DDR4 memory and SSD storage, use on-board design, meet industrial-grade standards and are IPC-A-6012 class 3-compliant in the hardware and layout phase. With certification from the MIL-STD-810G standard, SOM-9590 meets the exact demands of military applications, Advantech confirms. It is capable of survival at vibration 7.7grms (Method 514.7C-4), operating at a 50,000 feet altitude (Method 500.6 Procedure II), and it can perform in a temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C. SOM-9590 has the IPC-A-610G Class 3 qualification—defined by IPC-org as fulfilling the highest quality product demands for critical applications. It also has a low profile of 10.3mm for space constrained applications.
Advantech also offers additional services, namely conformal coating, Quadro Flow Cooling System (QFCS) for thermal management and enhanced longevity of seven to 15 years and beyond for long-life military programs
