AAEON Unveils Intel-Powered COM Express Modules to Corner Advanced Robotics and Edge Gateway

TAIPEI, Taiwan - March 14, 2024 - PRLog -- AAEON, a leading provider of Computer-on-Modules, has today announced the launch of two new COM Express Type 6 Compact Size solutions, the COM-RAPC6 and COM-ADNC6.

Targeting the advanced robotics and edge gateway markets, the COM-RAPC6 is compatible with a variety of embedded CPUs from the 13th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor line on a compact 95mm x 95mm form factor. The module gives customers a range of SKUs from the 13^th Generation series, from the efficient 15W Intel® Processor U300E to 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processors, running at 45W.

With the COM-RAPC6 clearly favoring high performance, AAEON's second addition to its COM Express Type 6 product line, the COM-ADNC6, focuses on efficiency. The COM-ADNC6 offers a selection of embedded CPUs from the Intel Atom® X Series, Intel® Processor N-series, and the Intel® Core™ i3-N305 alongside 16GB of SODIMM-based LPDDR5 system memory.

Equipped with such high processing capacity, the COM-RAPC6 is able to host up to six PCIe modules. With four single-lane PCIe slots alongside another two equipped with eight and four lanes, the COM-RAPC6 is able to handle advanced graphics card installation for multi-LAN expansion. Such operation is boosted by up to 64GB of SODIMM-based DDR5 memory, which provides flexible, high-bandwidth system memory.

Much like the COM-RAPC6, the COM-ADNC6 also offers a range of PCIe expansion options, able to accommodate either four single-lane or two dual-lane PCIe expansion cards. Consequently, AAEON has earmarked the COM-ADNC6 as a good option for industrial control solutions, such as programmable logic controller applications, particularly given the additional functionality offered by its LPC and the security offered by onboard TPM 2.0.

The COM-RAPC6 offers a total of five display outputs, comprised of three DDI (4K @120Hz), VGA (1920 x 1080) and eDP (4K @60Hz) co-layed with single or dual-channel LVDS (1920 x 1080) to achieve four simultaneous displays.

Onboard communication protocols for both modules come in the form of a 2-wire UART, 8-bit GPIO, and SMBus. A variety of other functions are available via LPC connectors, with which multiple serial port functions can be accessed.
