News
The new land grid array (LGA) module TQMa8MPxL based on the i.MX 8M Plus CPU measures only 38x38mm. The module provides all signal pins on a total of 362 LGA pins. The module is equipped with a 32-bit wide LPDDR4 SDRAM, which allows a memory expansion of up to 4GB.
In addition, the module features:
- An image processor unit with 2x187 megapixels
- A graphics processing unit (GPU)
- An integrated NPU (neural processor unit) with up to 2.3 Tera Operations per Second (TOPS)
- Industrial-grade 3D embedded multimedia card (eMMC)
- Memory of up to 256GB
- A quad-SPI NOR flash memory with a capacity of up to 256MB
- External power-saving real-time clock (RTC)
- A user EEPROM memory
- A temperature sensor with integrated EEPROM.
- SE050 security chip is available as an assembly option.
The mainboard developed for the TQMa8MPxL is 160 x 100 mm and forms a Single Board Computer (SBC) with the soldered module and is ideal for for application areas that require a flat and robust design.
According to TQ, the MBa8MPxL can be used as an industrial base board with versatile interfaces like:
- 2x Ethernet
- 2x USB3.,
- 1x USB3.0 OTB
- 2x CAN FD galvanically isolated
- Audio
- HDMI
- DP
- Dual-LVDS
- 4 digital 24V in- / outputs each
- Two analog inputs
- A M.2 PCI slot with SIM card
- An SD card interface
- 3 user LEDs
- CSI interface with 2x 4 lanes.
A Linux board support package is supplied with the module for an easy and uncomplicated entry into development.
