The SMARC modules are the only computer-on-module form factor that can handle both ARM and x86 designs. The 314 pins on SMARC’s high speed MXM3 connector allow it to cover both typical x86 interfaces and ARM type low level signals. Leveraging ARM SoCs enables integration with smart devices like tablets and mobile phones. Other low-power SoCs and CPUs, such as x86-based tablet processors and other RISC architectures, are also commonly used in the SMARC standard.
With a power envelope typically below 6W, this module is perfectly suited for applications requiring designs capable of operating in extreme environmental conditions.
