7 Signal Descriptions and Pinout Tables

The following section describes the signals found on COM Express™ Type VI connectors used for congatec AG modules. The pinout of the

modules complies with COM Express Type 6.0 Rev. 2.1.

Table 2 describes the terminology used in this section for the Signal Description tables. The PU/PD column indicates if a COM Express™

module pull-up or pull-down resistor has been used, if the eld entry area in this column for the signal is empty, then no pull-up or pull-down

resistor has been implemented by congatec.

The “#” symbol at the end of the signal name indicates that the active or asserted state occurs when the signal is at a low voltage level. When

“#” is not present, the signal is asserted when at a high voltage level.

Note

The Signal Description tables do not list internal pull-ups or pull-downs implemented by the chip vendors, only pull-ups or pull-downs implemented

by congatec are listed. For information about the internal pull-ups or pull-downs implemented by the chip vendors, refer to the respective chip’s

datasheet.
