VAR-SOM-MX8X
NXP iMX8X
The VAR-SOM-MX8X is a member of the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin System on Module family, compatible with a wide range of modules based on i.MX8, i.MX8M Mini, i.MX8M Nano, i.MX6 and i.MX6UL processors. It offers Variscite’s customers a high level of scalability, extended lifetime availability and reduced development time, cost and risk.
A high-performance yet power-optimized platform, the VAR-SOM-MX8X supports NXP’s i.MX 8X 1.2GHz Quad Cortex™-A35 processor plus Cortex-M4F real-time co-processor. It provides built-in safety features, highly integrated multimedia with 4K support and efficient power/performance architecture.
This highly integrated SoM / CoM is designed to support a wide range of high-reliability power-efficient applications, from industrial automation & control to defense, medical, telematics, building control, failover displays/HMI and robotics. The SoM multimedia features and interfaces options include Vivante GC7000Lite GPU for 2D / 3D graphics acceleration, 4K H.265 Decode, 1080p H.264 Encode/Decode, Camera Interfaces, DSI / LVDS, Parallel LCD, dual GbE, CAN/CAN-FD, USB3 and serial interfaces.
As a member of Variscite's VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family, the VAR-SOM-MX8X supports broad platform scalability - making it easy to migrate between performance tiers without redesigning the carrier board.

Why Variscite?
09.10.2024 
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.
