System-On-Modules (SOMs)

A System-on-Module (SOM) provides the core components of an embedded processing system — including processor cores, communication interfaces, and memory blocks — on a single production-ready printed circuit board (PCB). This modular approach makes a SOM ideal for embedding into end systems, from robots to security cameras.

SOMs make the impossible possible for developers, reducing time-to-market and keeping costs down. Creating an embedded system is typically a lengthy process, requiring custom board design and manufacture. A SOM streamlines the steps needed to bring a design to fruition. Simply choose a SOM that fits your needs, integrate it into your end system, and you’re ready for deployment. Beyond enabling high volume deployment, module-based designs simplify product life cycle management and reduce bill of material (BOM) expenses.
