Embedded Module TQMa8XxS Embedded Cortex®-A35 SMARC 2.0/2.1 module based on i.MX8X with high computing power combined with high-speed interfaces.

Arm® Cortex®-A35 based on i.MX8X

TQMa8XxS
  • Graphics with 3D GPU support
  • DSP for audio processing
  • High-speed communication via 2x Gigabit, Ethernet, 1x PCle and 1x USB 3.0 interface
  • Low power consumption (typ. 4 W)
  • Integrated 1x Cortex M4 CPU (Real Time / Security)
The SMARC-Module TQMa8XxS is based on the processor ARM® Cortex®-A35 core technology. The integrated high performance graphics supports applications with high display requirements. Full access to all signal pins guarantees a very flexible usage and a cost-efficient project development.
For various requirements three CPU variants with a different performance and features are available. With a Dual / Quad-Core ARM Cortex™ A35 core and a clock rate up to 4x 1,2 GHz the module provides a balanced ratio between high performance and power dissipation.
