6 Connectors and Pin-outs
6.1 Carrier Board Signals - Type 6
6.2 Connector and Pinout Compatibility
Connectors positions and pinouts comply with pinout and signal descriptions in the “PICMG®
COM.0 - COM Express Module Base specification, Revision 2”. This document includes:
description of pinouts, signal descriptions and mechanical characteristics of the COM Express
specification. The Express-BASE6 is compatible with COM Express modules in Basic and
Compact form factor, Type 6 pinout, COM.0 Rev. 2.1.
6.3 Carrier Board Design
The Express-BASE6 follows the PICMG COM Express Carrier Design Guide (CDG) where
possible. However, the CDG was written for COM Express Type 2 modules and currently does
not cover areas such as USB 3.0 or the newly introduced DDI channels on the new pinout of the
Type 6 CD connector. So while the CDG is still a valuable design tool, be forewarned where
signals specific to Type 6 modules are concerned. The Express-BASE6 design and schematics
are fully verified, and we recommend that you follow them as a reference for your carrier board
design.
Express-BASE6 Schematics and Mechanical files as well as the CDG for Type 2 modules can be
downloaded from the ADLINK Express-BASE6 product webpage:
