1 min read

Arrow Electronics has unveiled the JetCarrier96, a 96Boards Enterprise Edition-compliant carrier board for the NVIDIA Jetson family of system-on-modules.

JetCarrier96 has been designed to enable customers to accelerate custom carrier board designs for applications such as autonomous machines, intelligent vision, diagnostic healthcare imaging, and AIoT.

To support rapid prototyping, the JetCarrier96 carrier board follows a standard microATX form factor and will work with readily available power supplies, chassis, and many desktop computer peripherals.

The JetCarrier96 reference design was developed using technologies to speed time to market. It supports high-speed peripheral expansion via four PCIe card slots, four USB 2.0, four USB 3.2 Gen 2, and a 1 Gb Ethernet LAN.

The JetCarrier96 supports sensor expansion via one 96Boards Mezzanine connector, one Qwicc-Compatible connector, one mikroBUS socket, and two 15-pin camera connectors.

As a preferred member of the NVIDIA Partner Network, eInfochips, an Arrow Electronics company, has been responsible for driving the development of the JetCarrier96 reference design.

“The megatrend of AI at the edge continues to proliferate and, with it, the engineering challenges placed on customers to bring an edge AI device to market,” said Aiden Mitchell, senior vice president, global marketing and engineering, Arrow Electronics. “JetCarrier96 helps to fulfill our mission of delivering innovative reference platforms to customers augmented with eInfochips edge-to-cloud AI product engineering services.”

The JetCarrier96 reference design features:

  • Analog Devices Silent Switcher high-efficiency, low EMI regulators
  • Analog Devices µModule system-in-package power regulators
  • Microchip Switchtec PFX Gen 4 Fanout PCIe® Switch
