Embedded Module TQMa53 Embedded Cortex®-A53 module based on i.MX53 unites industry and multimedia

Arm® Cortex®-A8 based on i.MX53

TQMa53
  • All functional CPU pins lead out on module connectors
  • IEEE 1588 Support
  • Low power consumption (typ. 3 W)
  • Security functions
  • e-MMC Flash
The Minimodule TQMa53, based on the processor i.MX537 from NXP, combines Industry and Multimedia. The integrated graphic controller supports displays with a resolution up to UXGA. Therefore the module is best suited for HMI and animated display screen- and accordingly multitouch applications. With an Arm® Cortex®-A8 core and a clock rate up to 1,2 GHz the TQMa53 provides a balanced ratio between performance and power dissipation.
All the processor’s functional pins are on the module plug-in connector. Note about the ordering information: Further variants are available on request.
