Computer-on-module gets quad-core Cortex-A53
Do you need a quad-core Cortex-A53, 2Gbyte of RAM and 4Gbyte of flash, all on a 29mm square module?
Then the solder-down ‘QSXM with i.MX8M Mini’ module from Aachen-based Ka-Ro Electronics might be just the thing.
“The QSXM module’s i.MX8M family processor provides a quad core 1,600MHz Arm processor complex as well as a separate GPU and video codec. It combines low power operation with powerful features including MIPI-DSI display up to 1,080 pixels. Connectivity options include UARTs, SPI, I
2C, audio, Gbit Ethernet, SD, USB host and client and MIPI-DSI display,” according to UK reseller Direct Insight, which is a long-standing partner of Ka-Ro.
Low power, multi-featured module enables PCIe access
Oxfordshire, UK May 2021: Direct Insight, the UK-based, technical systems integrator and reseller of system-on-module (SoM) and other embedded systems, has announced the new QSXM solder-down module, manufactured by the company’s long-standing partner, Aachen-based Ka-Ro Electronics, which features NXP’s latest dual and quad-core i.MX8M Mini ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit processors, plus 2GB of 32-bit LPDDR4 RAM, 4GB eMMC Flash memory and power management.
The new QSXM solder-down module measures just 29mm square, with a height of 2.6mm, providing unparalleled miniaturisation, thermal efficiency and EMI performance, with the base functioning as both a ground pad and a thermal conductor. Rugged and connector-free, solder-down SoM technology offers a range of benefits, especially for higher-volume requirements, including availability in tape-and-reel packaging.
