New i.MX93-based SoM for Energy-Efficient Machine Learning Edge Devices
Variscite is pleased to release the VAR-SOM-MX93 System on Module based on the newest NXP i.MX93 application processor. The SoM offers an energy-efficient solution with integrated AI/ML NPU acceleration for smart edge systems at a competitive price.
The VAR-SOM-MX93 System on Module / Computer on Module
The module runs on a 1.7GHz Dual Cortex™-A55 NXP iMX93 processor and 250MHz Cortex-M33 real-time processor. It offers a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) 0.5 TOPS, built-in security features and an energy flex architecture.
Pin-compatibility
The VAR-SOM-MX93 is compatible with the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin System on Module family, providing our customers with the ultimate scalability level along with an extended lifetime, reduced development time, costs, and risks. The pin2pin family includes a wide range of performances starting from the entry point i.MX6UL modules, through the iMX6 and i.MX 8M families, up to the high-performance i.MX 8X and i.MX 8QuadMax modules.
Features
The SoM provides industrial features like dual GbE, dual CAN bus and industrial temperature grade, along with a rich set of connectivity options and features: camera inputs, dual USB, audio in/out, ADC, certified single or dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth/BLE, and display outputs.
“As a company dedicated to being first to market with innovative solutions, Variscite is proud to release the VAR-SOM-MX93, which provides our customers with a high-quality, future-proof System on Module that meets the market’s demand for energy-efficiency platform, especially for smart devices at the edge,” said Ofer Austerlitz, VP Business Development and Sales of Variscite. “This next generation of technology extends the coverage of Variscite solutions for the embedded market.”
“The i.MX 93 applications processor, the first in the i.MX 9 portfolio delivers optimized performance and power efficiency. This combined with efficient machine learning and advanced security with the EdgeLock® secure enclave results in a cutting edge processor for industrial, IoT and automotive systems,” said Robert Thompson, Director, Edge Processing Ecosystem, NXP Semiconductors. “To enable customers to fully utilize the potential of the i.MX 93 family, leading NXP partners such as Variscite enable customers to quickly test, evaluate and move into production with market leading secure, connected devices.”
VAR-SOM-MX93 Evaluation Kits and Availability
The VAR-SOM-MX93 along with the related scalable Symphony carrier board and an optional LVDS display with a touch panel serve as a complete development platform for both evaluation and application development purposes. Evaluation kits and stock item modules are already available for orders, with priority to Variscite’s alpha partners and customers.
Longevity
The SoM is included in our long-term longevity plan with expected availability of at least 15 years.
