A New Cost-Effective SoM based on the Texas Instruments AM62x processor – Starting from only $33
Variscite is pleased to announce the launch of the new VAR-SOM-AM62 System on Module / Computer on Module, based on the Texas Instruments (TI) AM62x processor. Starting from only $33, the SoM provides an ideal high-performance, power-sensitive solution for embedded industrial products.
Compatible with the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin product family, the VAR-SOM-AM62 expands Variscite’s pin-compatible portfolio with an optimized power consumption solution that presents high CPU performance and graphics capabilities. Variscite’s customers also enjoy extended availability and advanced scalability options from entry-level to high-performance modules.
“The integration of the AM625x processor into the VAR-SOM-AM62 gives developers a solid foundation that combines performance and power efficiencies,” said Ofer Austerlitz, VP Business Development and Sales of Variscite. “These qualities, along with integrated interfaces, generate a very attractive cost-optimized solution for present-day embedded edge devices.”
The VAR-SOM-AM62 System on Module Features
The SoM runs on a TI AM625x processor featuring a 1.4GHz Quad Cortex®-A53 CPU, a 400MHz Cortex-M4F, and 333MHz programmable real-time co-processor. It supports 3D graphics acceleration, two LVDS displays, MIPI-CSI2 camera interface, and industrial connectivity features such as certified single or dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth/BLE 5.2, 3x CAN bus, dual GbE along with industrial operating temperatures.
Evaluation Kits and Availability
The VAR-SOM-AM62 evaluation kits include the scalable Symphony carrier board and an optional LVDS display with a touch panel. Evaluation kits and stock item modules are already available for orders in production quantities, starting from only $33 per unit.

As AI-driven demand accelerated through 2025, memory chip shortages developed as semiconductor manufacturers shifted capacity to large-volume buyers, leaving many sectors, including medical, industrial, edge/IoT, and robotics poorly served. Climbing prices and lengthening lead times, exacerbated by knock-on effects across other SoM components, have created two clear pressure points. SoM vendors relying on outsourced manufacturing have limited flexibility when availability drops, leaving customers facing the same delays. Separately, product developers who chose chip-down architectures over SoM-based designs must procure components on their own. Those buying in smaller quantities are routinely pushed down supplier priority lists, and in many cases cannot get supply at all.
