SOMDM3730-10-1782IFXR

Beacon EmbeddedWorks's SOMDM3730-10-1782IFXR sets new standards in the Embedded - Microcontroller, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules market segment, designed for mission-critical industrial control systems. Its ruggedized construction and deterministic processing capabilities make it perfect for robotic motion control and precision instrumentation applications.The MPU, DSP Core configuration provides unparalleled design flexibility, allowing seamless integration with both legacy and modern industrial buses. Unlike conventional solutions, this architecture supports simultaneous protocol handling without compromising real-time performance.Powered by the ARM® Cortex®-A8, DM3730, the module delivers exceptional computational precision for closed-loop control systems. Its hardware-based floating-point unit ensures accurate trajectory calculations in CNC machinery and 3D printing applications.The TMS320C64x (DSP) offloads critical timing-sensitive tasks from the main CPU, enabling deterministic response in safety-critical systems. This design approach significantly reduces interrupt latency in automotive brake-by-wire applications.With a base clock of 800MHz, the processor maintains strict timing margins for industrial Ethernet protocols. The clock tree distribution network has been optimized to minimize jitter in high-noise factory environments.The generous 512MB (NAND), 8MB (NOR) storage capacity supports complex motion control algorithms and safety-certified firmware. Dual-bank flash architecture enables secure over-the-air updates for predictive maintenance systems.256MB of low-latency RAM ensures smooth operation of real-time operating systems. The memory controller's ECC protection is particularly valuable in nuclear power plant monitoring equipment where data integrity is paramount.Featuring Board-to-Board (BTB) Socket - 480 connectivity, the module withstands repeated mating cycles in test equipment applications. The connector's gold-plated contacts maintain reliable communication in humid environments common in food processing plants.The compact 1.23" x 3.01" (31.2mm x 76.5mm) footprint enables integration into space-constrained industrial HMIs. Despite its small size, the package design ensures adequate thermal dissipation for continuous 24/7 operation.Rated for -20°C ~ 70°C, this solution operates reliably in steel mill environments. The extended temperature qualification process includes rigorous thermal cycling tests to guarantee longevity.
