The new MSC C10M-ALN module from Avnet, is a COM Express Type 10 module that features the Intel Atom processor x7000E Series of products including the Intel Core i3 processor and Intel Processor N Series (codenamed Alderlake N). The CPU architecture is based on the same efficient cores and Intel UHD graphics driven by Xe architecture as the 12th Gen Intel Core processors, thus enabling application migration across Intel CPU performance and power ranges.
With support for up to eight processor cores, the module supports a wide range of applications including point-of-sales terminals, digital signage controllers, human machine interface (HMI) solutions and medical equipment. Being based on the COM Express standard enables performance scaling and migration of applications to future technology upgrades when they become available.
“Design engineers looking for fast time to market with the latest technology and highest performance on the COM Express Type 10 mini form factor will appreciate this SOM,” said Thomas Staudinger, global vice president Embedded Solutions, Avnet. “In addition, system investments are well protected through long-term availability of the module, which is designed and manufactured by Avnet Embedded.”
The new MSC C10M-ALN offers dual independent display support with a maximum of 4K resolution, fast LPDDR5 memory with up to 16GB and optional IBECC capabilities, eMMC 5.1, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) and PCIe Gen 3 on a power saving and cost-efficient computer module.
Different SOCs with dual-, quad and eight-core processors are supported by this design. In addition to an extensive set of interfaces and features, the MSC C10M-ALN offers Gigabit Ethernet based on Intel i226 and supports up to 2.5GbE bandwidth.
