VAR-SOM-MX6

Supporting the i.MX 6 QuadPlus/Quad/Dual/DualLite/Solo SOC, the VAR-SOM-MX6 allows designers to use a single System on Module in a broad range of applications to achieve short time-to-market for their current innovations, while still accommodating potential R&D directions and marketing opportunities. This versatile solution’s -40 to 85 °C temperature range and Dual CAN support is ideal for industrial applications, while 1080p video and graphics accelerations make it equally suitable for intensive multimedia applications.
