Designing with a CPU module will take months off your design time and save you thousands of dollars. By doing less engineering, you remove risk from your project and get to a finished product faster than designing from scratch.
 | | CPU Modules save time and money during hardware design, software design and manufacturing. Complex processor, memory and power supply design is avoided, no OS porting is required, and component purchasing is simplified. Device Solutions modules are available as plug-in and surface-mount options.
Plug-in modules are perfect for prototyping and low-volume production.
Use the the surface-mount version for applications that need to minimize the size of the design, or where there are vibration concerns in industrial and automotive environments. |
