Product Description
The nanoX-TCR is an exceptionally high integration, high performance, rugged Intel ® Atom™ E6XXT
processor based system, compatible with the COM Express standard. This rugged and high quality module
system contains all the component subsystems of an ATX motherboard plus the equivalent of several PCI
Express expansion boards.
The Intel Atom E6XXT series CPUs integrate processor cores with Graphics and Memory Controller Hubs
(GMCHs), providing low-power, high-performance processors, memory controllers for up to 2GB of on-
board memory, and graphics controllers for LVDS and SDVO signals.
The Intel EG20T PCH (Platform Controller Hub) provides controllers for a range of common interfaces
including six USB 2.0 ports and up to two SATA ports as well as embedded interfaces for CAN (optional),
GPIO, and I2C. The nanoX-TCR provides an optional Solid State Drive through the SATA1 port and one
Gigabit Ethernet interface through the Intel 82574IT Gigabit Ethernet controller chip (external magnetics
required) using PCIe Port1 from the CPU. The PCIe Port0 connects the PCH to the CPU.
Expansion for additional system functions is possible on the nanoX-TCR through the PCIe and LPC
expansion buses. The PCIe and LPC buses operate at clock speeds of 100MHz and 33MHz, respectively.
The nanoX-TCR is particularly well suited for either embedded or portable applications and meets the size,
power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded system applications.
