New module family from TQ
TQ-Group announced new embedded modules in various form factors at embedded world. Included are the embedded modules »TQMa62xx« (pluggable) and »TQMa62xxL« (solderable). They are based on the »AM62x« processor family from Texas Instruments.
The »AM62x« processors from Texas Instruments are pin-compatible with each other, which enables TQ to offer different module variants with the same design. Developers can choose from six MPU versions to optimize performance and functionality for their application. With both pluggable and solderable module options, developers have the choice of flexibility or cost-effective manufacturing. A common evaluation board helps optimize performance and also enables an early start to software development.
The modules offer flexible graphics performance as well as scalable computing power and combine it with many industrial interfaces: These include dual Gigabit Ethernet with TSN support, USB 2.0, CAN-FD, UART and CSI2. The package is completed by Arm-Cortex-A53 cores (quad/dual/single), dual display function (LVDS/RGB) and an optional 3D GPU.
The AM62x processor family is also positioned as the successor to TI's »AM335x« family. With this, TQ wants to offer developers an upgrade path when they need more computing and graphics power without having to sacrifice the proven software and hardware environment.
The TQMa62xx(L) modules are designed for Linux application development. With scalable Arm Cortex A53 computing power (up to four cores) and embedded features such as dual display support and 3D graphics acceleration, safety and security support, and extensive peripherals, the modules are suitable for a wide range of applications, such as human-machine interfaces (HMIs), point of sales (PoS), telematics, V2X communication (vehicle to infrastructure), or medical technology.
