StackPC specification

• PC/104, PC/104-plus, PCI/104-Express Type I,II
• EPIC, EBX, 3,5” with PC/104 stack
• Specification include:
• Connectors Types & Pinouts
• Board Dimensions & Restrictions
• Stack-up rules

Stackable PC

• Connectors layout and pinout
• Pinout targets most popular interfaces

and buses for embedded systems

StackPC – System Approach

• Specification defines not only pinout but

also defines a System development rules Interface module as a new standard peripheral board

StackPC – System Approach

Stack-Up Only approach allows to implement effective heat sinks and gives more space for components layout Unifying System Development Approach for better module compatibility

StackPC Adaptation

• Flexibility in adaptation to the most popular form-factors
• Maximum compatibility with the most popular PCIe/104
• More features with FPE expansion
• No Bottom side use limitations

COM Application

New pinout, new applications for stackable modules

PCIe 4x1, 1x4, 1x16 +(Express CARD support) +2x GbE +2x SATA +LPC +3x SPI +2x FBUS(CAN/Serial) +DP +6x USB 2.0 (3.0) +USER I/O = COM application

StackPC= Stack+COM

• Different types of Carrier boards, the same HOST
• Bottom side
• Top side
• Stackable
• Same Type connectors
• (HOST/Expansion/Carrier boards)
• Only one expansion boards area

• BANK1 is the same
• Universal modules are

fully compatible

• The same protection

mechanism as in Type1/Type2

• Set of identical interfaces:

Bank 1 (Full) The first PCIe x4 link SATA LPC Power

Compatibility with PCIe/104

• BANK1 is the same
• PCIe x4 StackPC modules can be

placed into PCIe/104 stack on the TOP

Compatibility with PCIe/104

• Interface module
• Storage module

(StackPC and PCIe/104)

• Bakn1 Universal modules

(StackPC and PCIe/104)

• Host modules

(Stack and COM)

• Power Source modules
• Carrier boards

Cost Effective heat sink solution for Host and Power modules More space for big components on Host and Power modules
