2.1. SMARC™ Computer-on-Modules
The SMARC™ standard was developed especially for new modules with ARM- and SoC-processors. Boards with this
interfaces are characterized by the extremely flat form factor. The SMARC or MXM 3.0 connector comes with 314
pins and a construction height of just 4.3 millimeters. The connector is also available in a shock- and vibration-
resistant version for rough environmental conditions.
Furthermore, the standard integrates dedicated interfaces for the latest ARM, x86 and SoC processors like LVDS,
Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI support. In addition, dedicated camera interfaces are being incorporated into a COM
standard. OEMs profit from minimized design effort and low Bill of Material (BoM) costs. SMARC™ defines two
different module sizes in order to offer a high level of flexibility regarding different mechanical requirements.
