50000

Overview

The congatec model 50000 refers to the conga-SA5 series of SMARC 2.0 modules (82x50 mm) based on Intel Atom E3900, Celeron N-Series, and Pentium N-Series processors. The series supports up to 8GB onboard LPDDR4 memory at 2400MT/s and eMMC 5.0 flash storage up to 128GB. Key features include dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers with real-time triggers, integrated Intel HD Graphics 500 supporting 4K displays, and Time Coordinated Computing. Industrial variants operate within a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Feature Summary

• SMARC 2.0 form factor (82x50 mm) with Intel Atom x7/x5-E39xx, Pentium N4200, or Celeron N3350/J3455 processors.
• Integrated Intel HD Graphics 500 with hardware acceleration for 4K video decode/encode and support for DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.4.
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (Intel I210/I211) featuring SDP support and real-time trigger capabilities.
• Onboard memory configurations ranging from 2GB to 8GB LPDDR4 and eMMC storage up to 128GB.

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems requiring Time Coordinated Computing.
• Smart building infrastructure and digital signage utilizing high-performance graphics.
• Medical devices and healthcare equipment needing reliable embedded computing.
• Transportation and traffic management systems operating in extended temperature ranges.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific processor variant (e.g., E3950, N4200), memory capacity (2GB-8GB), and storage size (16GB-128GB) when ordering. Confirm whether an industrial (-40°C to +85°C) or commercial (0°C to +60°C) temperature rating is required. Check if optional accessories like M.2 WiFi/BT modules or specific cooling solutions are needed for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select the appropriate SKU based on the required CPU performance and thermal design power (TDP). Ensure the carrier board supports the SMARC 2.0 specification and provides necessary I/O expansion. For industrial deployments, verify that the selected module includes the extended temperature range option. Consider the available display interfaces (LVDS, eDP, DDI) to match the intended peripheral requirements.

Part Context

The conga-SA5 series belongs to congatec's portfolio of x86-based SMARC modules designed for embedded applications. It utilizes the Intel Braswell architecture family to deliver balanced performance and power efficiency. The modules are engineered for long-term availability and feature enhanced security execution capabilities suitable for critical infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must adhere to the SMARC 2.0 specification and compatible pinout. Alternative options may include other congatec SMARC modules with similar processor generations or form factors. Verify mechanical dimensions and connector compatibility before substituting existing designs.
