Variscite is bringing its System on Module (SoM) portfolio into the CELUS Design Platform, giving engineers a faster way to move from initial concept to a production-ready design, with much of the manual component-selection work automated away. The integration pairs Variscite’s hardware with CELUS’ AI Design Assistant, aimed at cutting time out of the early, slow-moving stages of hardware design.
Pierluigi Passaro, Variscite’s R&D expert, introduces the VAR-SOM-6UL – a highly flexible module offering a wide range of interfaces and connectivity options in a design optimized for power, size, and cost. As a member of Variscite’s VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family, it allows developers to scale performance and features without changing the carrier board design.
