Product Overview
The phyCORE-RT1170 System on Module is our smallest connectorized SOM to date. It’s a crossover MCU designed for consumer, industrial and automotive markets with dual-core and advanced security. This miniature SOM combines superior computing power and multimedia with ease-of-use and real-time functionality. Features are not compromised as the 30 x 30 mm module includes an interconnect of 200 pins including MIPI CSI/DSI, Audio, CAN, Dual Ethernet and more!
Features
Crossover MCU
This Crossover MCU features simultaneous dual-core processing in real time.
Advanced Security
Security features include Hardware Elliptic Curve Cryptography, Hardware-protected keys for secure boot, AES engine for data encryption, On-the-fly AES decryption for execute-in-place (NOR) from Quad/Octal SPI/HyperFlash, NXP’s EdgeLock® Assurance
Multimedia Capabilities
MIPI CSI, MIPI DSI, Audio Codec
Tiny
30 x 30 mm is so small, made possible by two 100-pin low-pitch connectors, while still providing a rich pinout ready for compact designs.
