VL-COMm-33
COM Express Mini CPU Module
55 x 84 mm
(2.17 x 3.31”)
Overview
Highlights
The VL-COMm-33 is an extremely small and rugged Computer on
Module (COM) based on the industry-standard COM Express mini
form factor. Roughly the size of a credit card, the VL-COMm-33 has
been engineered to meet the requirements of aviation, defense,
industrial control, and medical applications while adhering to
stringent regulatory standards. The VL-COMm-33 is manufactured
to IPC-A-610 Class 2 standards. Equipped with an Intel Atom
“Bay Trail” E38xx processor, it is designed to withstand extreme
temperature, impact, and vibration.
Intel® Atom™ Bay Trail E38xx processor
Extremely small COM Express™ mini form factor
Industrial temp. (-40º to +85ºC)
Wide input voltage (4.75V–20V)
On-board RAM
On-board eMMC Flash storage (optional)
Available in single, dual, and quad core versions, the COMm-33
provides extreme performance for its size. It does so at moderate
power consumption (3.5 to 7.25W typical), in a very small package.
The COMm-33 provides compatibility with a broad range of standard
x86 application development tools for reduced development time.
The VL-COMm-33 utilizes advanced Intel technologies to maximize performance. Intel Virtualization Technology allows one
VL-COMm-33 system to function as multiple “virtual” platforms.
This enables computing activities to be isolated into separate
partitions for increased application flexibility and reliability. Intel
64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing when combined with
supporting software.

Product Data Sheet
Overview ...continued
The integrated Intel Gen-7 graphics core
provides hardware-accelerated MPEG4/H.264 and MPEG-2 video encoding and
decoding. A standard LVDS output supports
flat panel displays. An SDVO output supports
a variety of signaling interfaces including
VGA and DVI.
Designed and tested for industrial temperature (-40º to +85ºC) operation, the rugged
VL-COMm-33 also meets MIL-STD-202G
specifications for shock and vibration.
Soldered-down RAM provides additional
ruggedization for use in extremely harsh
environments.
The standard COM Type 10 pin-out provides
industry-standard system interfaces that
include Gigabit Ethernet with network boot
capability, a single USB 3.0/2.0 and six USB
2.0 ports, two serial ports, Intel High-Definition
Audio (HDA), LPC, I2C, SPI, and SMBus to the
carrier board. A dual SATA 3 Gb/s interface
supports high-capacity storage. Optional
on-board eMMC memory supports up to
8 GB of Flash.
The VL-COMm-33 is supported by a variety of
thermal heat dissipation solutions, including
a standard heat plate, heat sink, fan for heat
sink, heat pipe, and other cooling / mounting
solutions.
A wide input voltage range of 4.75 to 20 volts
simplifies system power supply requirements.
It is fully compatible with 12V automotive-type
power systems.
The VL-COMm-33 is backed by a five-year
warranty, 5+ year off-the-shelf availability
guarantee, and expert US-based technical
support. Product Life Extension options
support availability through the year 2025.
The VL-COMm-33 is compatible with a variety
of popular x86 operating systems including
Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, and
VxWorks.
Product customization is available, even in
low quantities. Options include conformal
coating, splash screen configuration,
application-specific testing, BOM revision
locks, special labeling, etc.
A compatible carrier card is required for
operation of this COM module. Contact
VersaLogic for custom designed carrier
boards that meet your exact requirements.
Please contact a VersaLogic Sales Engineer
for more information.
