Tiny Flexible System-on-Module (SoM)

Overview

Description

With the rising demand for faster development cycles in the electronics and IoT sectors, there is a growing need for modular, flexible systems that can adapt to various application needs while reducing time to market. Traditional "chip first" development strategies, where developers start by selecting and designing around individual chips, often involve lengthy and complex hardware development processes, potentially slowing down time to market and delaying product launches.

This tiny flexible System-on-Module (SoM) pre-integrates an MCU, field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and programmable mixed-signal matrix onto a single board. This integration eliminates the need for complex chip selection, layout design, and compatibility testing, allowing users to replace the traditional "chip first" development strategy. It enables them to focus on functional interfaces, simplifying hardware development, reducing development time, and enabling faster product iterations for applications such as timing controllers, data acquisition, and interface extension.

System Benefits​:

  • High-performance RXv2 core MCU with up to 120MHz ensures rapid processing, and expandable flash memory from 512KB to 2MB allows efficient storage of the FPGA boot image file.
  • The MCU enhances security performance to protect the system from potential threats, providing secure and reliable operation.
  • The programmable mixed-signal matrix allows for a wide variety of functions and control logic to be designed within a very small, low-power monolithic integrated circuit.
