SOMs for high-performance computing

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the iW-RainboW-G36M Zynq Ultrascale+ SOM from iWave Systems. The iW-RainboW-G36M SOMs meet the functional needs of high-performance embedded applications, including automotive systems, AI and ML, industrial automation, medical devices, and robotics.

The SOMs are based on AMD's Zynq Ultrascale+ multiprocessor systems-on-chips (MPSoC). The MPSoCs combine real-time control with soft and hard engines for graphic, video, waveform, and packet processing. Depending on the variant, the MPSoCs feature a dual or quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 application processing unit or a video codec unit.

The SOMs include 2GB of 64-bit PS DDR4 RAM for processing and 2GB of 16-bit PL DDR4 RAM dedicated to programmable logic, both of which can be upgraded to improve performance further. Onboard memory includes an optional 256MB QSPI flash, 16GB eMMC flash (expandable up to 128GB) for boot and storage, and EEPROM (4kbit). The SOMs also feature four high-speed transceiver lanes supporting up to 12.5Gb/s, an integrated Gigabit Ethernet PHY, and a USB 2.0 transceiver. The iW-RainboW-G36M SOMs support RGMII and ULPI interfaces for versatile connectivity.

Mouser also offers development kits allowing quick validation for the iW-RainboW-G36M SOM. The kits include the SOM, a full-featured carrier board with the necessary I/O connectors, and an active thermal solution.
