Embedded Module TQMLX2160A Embedded Cortex®-A72 module based on LX2160A with enhanced data and networking performance.

TQMLX2160A
  • 10G/100G Ethernet
  • Highspeed communication via 24x SerDes lanes
  • 2x DDR4 with ECC Support
  • 100Gb/s Data Compression Engine
  • 2x CAN FD, 2x USB 3.0, PCIe Gen4
  • Integrated security functions
The TQMLX2160A relies on the NXP processor family Arm® Layerscape LX2160A. Depending on the required functionality, there is a choice of three CPU variants with either 8, 12 or 16 Cortex-A72. The pin-compatible CPUs (LX2160AA, LX2120 and LX2080A) with a clock rate of up to 2.2 GHz differ only in the number of cores.
For fast data communication, the compact dimensions of 126 x 78 mm integrate two interfaces for up to 100 Gigabit Ethernet. All 560 signal pins are available.
In addition to 24x SerDes lanes with up to 25 GHz, which can be used as Ethernet, SATA and PCIe, the module has the following additional interfaces: up to 2x Gigabit Ethernet, 2x USB 3.0 2x CAN FD, up to 6x I²C, and 3x SPI.
The design is equipped with a DDR4 SDRAM memory with up to 64 GB with ECC support and up to 64 GB eMMC. The soldered RAM memory withstands even harsh environmental conditions. In addition, a QSPI NOR flash with up to 512 MB is used.
