cExpress-ASL/ALNCOM Express Type 6 Compact module with Intel Amston Lake or Alder Lake-N and LPDDR5

Manufacturer

cExpress-ASL/ALN is a PICMG COM.0 Rev 3.1 Type 6 module in a 95 × 95 mm form factor. It mounts on a Type 6 carrier and brings Intel 64 architecture to designs where footprint is constrained. The headless SKUs serve the network edge.

Two design choices set it apart. Memory is soldered on-board rather than socketed, and is intended for extreme rugged applications. Management runs through the SEMA Board Controller, which covers watchdog, voltage and current monitoring, fan control and forensic information, alongside an Infineon TPM 2.0 on SPI.

Available configurations: Amston Lake cExpress-ASL -x7211RE-8G, cExpress-ASL -x7213RE-4G, cExpress-ASL-x7433RE-8G, cExpress-ASL-x7835RE-16G. Alder Lake-N cExpress-ALN-x7211E-8G, cExpress-ALN-x7213E-4G, cExpress-ALN-x7425E-16G, cExpress-ALN-i3-N305-8G, cExpress-ALN-i3-N200-8G. Extended temperature: t1cExpress-ASL-x7835RE-16G and t1cExpress-ASL-x7433RE-8G.
