COM Express compute modules host NXP QorIQ T Series processors
The COMX-T Series brings four (NXP T1042) or eight virtual core (NXP T2081) Power Architecture processors, with a wide range of high speed interfaces, to a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) form factor. This enables, Artesyn says, cost-effective processor implementations with high processing density, simple technology migration and long lifecycle.
Designed for the Basic COM Express size form factor (95 × 125 mm) and Type 5/6 pin-outs with NXP extensions/modifications, the COMX-T2081 and COMX-T1042 modules are designed to operate in harsh environments, having a rugged design rated for extended temperature and vibration. With its AltiVec engine and innovative dual-threaded e6500 core offering a high performance/watt rating, NXP’s T2081 processor is intended to succeed the QorIQ P-series mid-range series of quad-core devices. T2081 is designed to deliver maximum benefit for mid-range applications as it outperforms the previous generation in core capability, cache size and SerDes bandwidth, within a similar power budget. Pin-compatible with the T2081, the quad-core T1042 offers a cost-effective alternative for applications requiring high performance CPU cores, along with SATA and graphics, in a low power envelope.
Artesyn comments, “These new modules provide system developers with multiple performance levels for a range of applications. We already have successful deployments of our Power Architecture COMs in infrared radar systems, helicopter-based data communications routers and in-flight entertainment servers. The small size, ruggedness and high performance makes them ideal for all these applications. Importantly, the sought-after longevity of supply of NXP Power Architecture processors enables customers to handle long lifecycle programs and maximize the return on their investment.”
