phyCORE®-AM67x
High performance machine vision and edge computing
Product Overview
A high-performance System on Module designed for advanced vision systems, AI workloads, and real-time industrial control. The phyCORE®-AM67x combines powerful processing, integrated deep learning acceleration, and high-speed connectivity, making it ideal for robotics, medical imaging, factory automation, and next-generation edge devices.
When standard embedded platforms cannot meet performance or processing demands, the phyCORE®-AM67x provides the headroom required for complex, data-intensive systems. Built on the Texas Instruments AM67x platform, this SOM combines quad Cortex-A53 application cores, a dedicated Cortex-R5F real-time core, and dual C7x DSPs with integrated deep learning acceleration, enabling advanced AI inference, high-speed analytics, and deterministic control in a single platform.
Designed for machine vision and sensor-driven applications, it supports multiple camera inputs, high-speed interfaces including PCIe 3.0 and USB 3.1, with flexible connectivity for demanding embedded systems.
With PHYTEC manufacturing expertise and hands-on engineering support, teams can reduce development risk, simplify integration, and move from prototype to production faster.
