The SMARC Formfactor

The SMARC (“Smart Mobility ARChitecture”) is a versatile small form factor computer on Module definition targeting applications that require low power, low costs, and high performance. The Modules will typically use ARM SOCs similar or the same as those used in many familiar devices such as tablet computers and smart phones. Alternative low power SOCs and CPUs, such as tablet oriented X86 devices and other RISC CPUs may be used as well. The Module power envelope is typically under 6W.

Two Module sizes are defined: 82 mm x 50 mm and 82 mm x 80 mm.

The Module PCBs have 314 edge fingers that mate with a low profile 314 pin 0.5 mm pitch right angle connector (the connector is sometimes identified as a 321 pin connector, but 7 pins are lost to the key).

The Modules are used as building blocks for portable and stationary embedded systems. The core CPU and support circuits, including DRAM, boot flash, power sequencing, CPU power supplies, GBE and a single channel LVDS display transmitter are concentrated on the Module. The Modules are used with application specific Carrier Boards that implement other features such as audio CODECs, touch controllers, wireless devices, etc. The modular approach allows scalability, fast time to market and upgradability while still maintaining low costs, low power and small physical size.

Video

LEC-PX30 standard display support is limited to either 4-lane MIPI DSI or single channel 24-bit LVDS. DSI and LVDS are multiplexed and either of them can simply be enabled at boot time. HDMI panel support up to 1920x1080 resolution can be achieved by using a simple bridge on the carrier. A reference design based on ADV7335 “MIPI/DSI Receiver with HDMI Transmitter” is available
