Based on SOM-A200 architecture to design, SOM-A255x series have two  
kinds of PCB form factors.  
l
l
SOM-A2552 & SOM-A2558 series: 68mm x 68mm x 6.8mm  
SOM-A255F series: 68mm x 102mm x 6.8mm  
SOM-A2552 benefit  
The SOM-A2552 series are very compact (68mm x 68mm x 6.8mm) and  
highly integrated system module. SOM-A2552 series products have a  
standardized form factor and standardized connectors (DDR-SODIMM  
Memory Connector and two 100-pin board-to-board connectors) that carry a  
specified set of signals. This standardization allows users to create  
application-specified User Solution Board (CSB) which can accept a variety of  
present and future SOM-A200 series modules.  
SOM-A2552 series include popular & common peripheral functions such  
as serial ports, USB, etc. The CSB designer can optimize exactly how each of  
these functions is physically implemented. Connectors can be placed precisely  
where they are needed for the application, on a baseboard designed to  
optimally fit the system configuration and layout.  
A CSB design may be used with a range of SOM-A2552 modules. This  
flexibility can be used to differentiate products at various price/ performance  
points, or to design “future proof” systems that have a built-in upgrade path.  
The modularity of an SOM-A2552 solution also insures against obsolescence  
as computer technology continues to evolve. A properly designed SOM-A2552  
CSB can be used with several successive generations of SOM-A2552  
modules. An SOM-A2552 CSB design thus has many of the advantages of a  
custom computer board design, but delivers better obsolescence protection,  
greatly reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market.  
Based embedded platform integrates both low-level hardware and  
software design and is always agreed to require heavy R&D resources, huge  
development effort, risk as well as long time to market lead-time. Moreover,  
the fast develop RISC SoC technology and short product life that has been  
challenging System Integrators how to make a right product development  
approach while foreseeing the huge advantage & benefit by adopting  
RISC-base solution.  
SOM-A2552 series are an innovate platform architecture of  
WinCE.NET-ready complete functional system in a low profit module with  
SODIMM 200-pin unified I/O ready bus interface that is designed to fit into  
application-specified User Solution Board (CSB) with easy, risk-less, robust,  
fast implementation approach. Dual expansion interface and Pre-select  
Embedded OS also are well integrated on module. OS Board Support  
Package (BSP) and advantech own-develop system utility & tools are also  
supported for an easy design-in business philosophy.  
SOM-A2552 series is designed for

1.2.1 Mechanical Specification  
Following figure shows the mechanical drawing of SOM-A2552 series.  
The above figure shows the SOM-A2552 mechanical drawing. Users  
could follow the above figure to implement the layout procedure.  
1st drawing shows the SOM-A2552 module PCB mechanical data. When  
users enter the layout procedure, user could follow the 1st drawing to place the  
connector. SOM-A2552 series PCB form factor is 68mm*68mm*68mm.  
The 2nd drawing shows the PCB thickness limitation. The component side  
height is 2.8mm, and the solder side maximum height is 3.00mm and the PCB  
thickness is 1.00mm.  
The 3rd drawing shows allied mechanical data of SOM-A2552 series  
board and CSB. Users could see that the matting height is 3.00mm and the  
solder side maximum height of SOM-A2552 is also 3.00mm. So, Advantech  
don’t suggest users to place any components between SOM module and  
CSB in layout stage. It could be short!

Most users will question the height of SOM structure product. Does  
product be too thick based on SOM structure product? User could see the  
answer in the 3rd mechanical drawing. Maximum height of SOM module allied  
with CSB is 5.20mm. One port USB 1.1 host connector height is 8.37mm, 1  
DB-9 RS-232 connector is 12.53mm, 1 type-II CF slot is 8.72mm. So, this is  
the answer! If users want to use any standard I/O connector on CSB, then  
SOM structure is not the maximum height maker. The maximum highness is  
decided by I/O connector, not SOM structure.

SOM-A55x are powered.  
l
Idle mode: I/O and system all work well except backlight control  
circuit. In order to do power-saving, LCD backlight control circuit  
will disable the LCD backlight inverter.  
l
Suspend mode: all devices are no-powered except SDRAM,  
RTC(real time clock) & some CPU(PXA255) power pins. In  
suspend mode, SOM-A255x series are only powered by  
BAT_VCC pin ( Li-ion 3.0V coin battery from CSB).If user doesn’t  
design coin battery to power BAT_VCC pin, then Suspend mode  
doesn’t work on SOM-A55x series products.

Advantech RISC SOM-A200 ultra low power series (SOM-A2552,  
SOM-A2558 and SOM-A255F) all follow the same pin definition in X1,X2 and  
X3. So, users could design their own CSB to be compatible with all advantech  
RISC ultra low power series SOM easily. In this way, users’ CSB will be  
powerful upgrade capability & option choice.  
X1: AMI bus  
AMI bus connector is PXA255 ARM bus. It includes complete system  
address lines, data lines, GPIOs (for interrupt source) and Chip select pins  
(nCS). Users could use this bus to extend any other IC controller on CSB to  
implement the function which SOM modules not provide. In order to keep the  
system bus signals well, every address lines and data lines are driven by  
buffers. Buffers’ signals direction controls are implemented by CPLD.  
X2: SODIMM-200 connector  
Most I/O functions fog in X2. X2 includes PCMCIA/CF, T/S, Audio, system  
reset control, SOM system power input pins, I2C, USB host, USB client,  
RS-232 ports, RS-485 port, LCD out, CRT out and PS/2 ports. Every I/O  
functions will be described in the following content in detail.  
X3: Feature Extension connector  
Advantech SOM-A series products use dual-chip or triple-chip design  
concepts. The companion chip’s I/O function will come out through the X3. In  
SOM-A255F series, SD/MMC & ZV (zoom video) I/F are included in X3.  
ADVANTECH SOM-A200 is a powerful and helpful architecture for users

2.2.14 System Management Bus (SM Bus) interface  
SOM-A255x series SM Bus is implemented by PXA255 I2C bus. If users’ CSB is  
powered by battery pack with SM bus battery gauge IC, then users could connect the  
SOM-A255x SM Bus to battery pack to monitor battery status. SOM-A255x series SM  
bus directly support TI BQ2040 gas gauge IC.  
2.2.15 Power-input  
SOM-A255x needs 3.3V & 5V DC power inputs. The power sources (3.3V,  
5V) must always be supplied even in system sleep mode. SOM-A255x power  
management is completely implemented on itself; users’ CSB doesn’t need to  
control the power supply to SOM-A255x.  
2.2.16 Back-up power input  
If user want to keep the real time clock(RTC) works well in power off mode,  
user should connect the coin battery positive pin to BAT-VCC in X2  
directly .The back-up power pin (BAT_VCC) is the only power source to supply  
RTC power when SOM-A255x system power (3.3V, 5V) is off.  
The coin battery must be 3.0V Li-ion coin type.  
The coin battery charging circuit is designed on SOM-A255x, so user  
shouldn’t and needn’t design the charging circuit on CSB.  
If users don’t need RTC function in CSB, just let the BAT_VCC pin open.  
2.2.17 PCI I/F (Thru X3)  
SOM-A2558 & SOM-A255F could support 4 channels PCI device  
controllers on CSB. The PCI clock is 33 MHz. PCI I/F comes from Advantech  
EVA-C210 I/O enhancement chip. The PCI I/F feature is as followings:
