In today's fast-paced world of technology, flexibility, performance, and efficiency are paramount. That's where the product like System on Module (SoM) steps in.
VEX2-DIP168 offers several advantages because of SoM design, including modularity, reduced development time, smaller form factors, extended product lifecycles, scalability, and customization. Their modular design allows for easy integration into custom carrier boards, streamlining the development process and facilitating tailored hardware solutions.
At the heart of the VEX2-DIP168 is the DM&P SoC Vortex86EX2 processor, clocked at 600MHz, providing exceptional processing power. Accompanied by onboard 512MB or 1GB DDR3 memory, this SoM ensures seamless multitasking and rapid data processing. The module's 168 pins, measuring just 35mm(L) x 55mm(W), make it an ideal fit for space-constrained environments and ensure maximum flexibility in integration and development, allowing you to access all I/O functions with ease.
The VEX2-DIP168 offers an impressive array of connectivity options, including 10S(Max.), 2U/LAN, LPT, 2CAN, 2I2C, 16ADC 12bit, HDA, 2PCIE x1, and a remarkable 120GPIO(Max.). With support for SD or eMMC storage, this module simplifies data management and enhances overall performance. Furthermore, the VEX2-DIP168's operational temperature range of -20°C to +70°C (or optional -40°C to +85°C) ensures reliable operation even in challenging conditions.
The inclusion of ISA bus support highlights ICOP's commitment to accommodating legacy systems and equipment. As an added advantage, the VEX2-DIP168 offers optional features such as a Touch Controller, Onboard eMMC, and a MicroSD socket, enabling customers to tailor the module to their specific requirements.
With its compact size, robust performance, and diverse connectivity options, this System on Module is poised to revolutionize the way industrial applications are developed and deployed.
