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. 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.
