» Why ARM solutions are so attractive « ARM-based platforms are prevalent throughout low-power market segments (i.e. smartphones, tablets and HMI sub-systems). With performance comparable to dual/quad core x86 Intel® Atom™ processors and less than 5W low-power consumption, the latest ARM technology represents an optimal solution for an increasing number of small embedded form factor applications that have been underserved until now. ARM processor architecture has evolved to support a wider range of interfaces and functionality allowing a true open-systems approach which is key for embedded...

» Ultra low-power Computer-on-Module » Scalable performance and I/O feature set » Out-of-the-box solutions SMARC™ port overview Kontron’s ultra-low power module standard bridges the gap between current proprietary industrial offerings and offerings from the consumer market – a far less suitable solution for demanding environments. The SMARC™ standard was developed to encompass a new range of modules for ARM and SoC processors. Based on the 314-pin MXM 3.0 connector that is only 4.3 mm in height, it enables durable, slim, cost-efficient solution designs. The connector is also available in a...

About SMARC™ The application areas for the new SMARC™ modules range from solutions in the automation market up to graphics and image-centric devices which also require extremely low energy consumption and have to withstand extreme environmental conditions. The new modules serve as a building block solution for very small portable handheld devices as well as for all larger devices in which consumption must not exceed a few watts and the computing power has to be particularly high. Moreover, it is expected that the performance will further increase with future technical progress. About...
