Embedded Module TQMa8Mx Embedded Cortex®-A53 module based on i.MX8M with extended audio and video functions.

Arm® Cortex® A35 based on i.MX8X

TQMa8Mx
  • Graphics with VP9/4K HDR10 support
  • Security functions
  • Integrated 1x Cortex M4 CPU (Real Time / Security)
  • Low power consumption (typ. 4 W)
  • High-speed communication via 1x Gbit Ethernet, 2x PCle and 2x USB 3.0 interface
The Minimodule TQMa8Mx is based on the processor Arm® Cortex® A53 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® A53 core and a clock rate up to 4 x 1,5 GHz the module provides a balanced ratio between high performance and power dissipation.
