Introduction
1.1
Pico-ITX Concept
The Pico-ITX form factor provides system designers and manufacturers with a standardized ultra compact platform for development. With a
footprint of 100mm x 72mm, this scalable platform promotes the design of highly integrated, energy efficient systems. Due to its small size,
the Pico-ITX form factor enables PC appliance designers not only to design attractive low cost devices but also allows them to explore a huge
variety of product development options - from compact space-saving designs to fully functional Information Station and Value PC systems.
This helps to reduce product design cycle and encourages rapid innovation in system design, to meet the ever-changing needs of the market.
Additionally, the boards can be passively cooled, presenting opportunities for fanless designs. The Pico-ITX boards are equipped with various
interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA, USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, Displays and Audio.

conga-PA5
The conga-PA5 is a Single Board Computer design based on the Pico-ITX specification. The conga-PA5 SBC features the Intel
®
5th generation
Atom
®
, Celeron
®
and Pentium
®
processors. With maximum 12 W TDP processors, the SBC offers Ultra Low Power boards with high computing
performance and outstanding graphics. Additionally, the SBC supports onboard LPDDR4 memory up to 2400 MT/s, maximum system memory
capacity of 8 GB, multiple I/O interfaces, up to three independent displays and various congatec embedded features.
With smaller board size and lower height keep-out zones, the conga-PA5 SBC provides manufacturers and system designers with the opportunity
to design compact systems for space restricted areas.
The various features and capabilities offered by the conga-PA5 makes it ideal for the design of compact, energy efficient, performance-
oriented embedded systems.
