Kontron launches ARM based Computer on Module

Kontron has launched an ARM based Computer on Module (CoM) designed to reduce the cost and energy consumption of image centric, low profile applications.

The company says the Kontron ULP-COM-sAT30 is its first module to offer NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad Core ARM 1.2GHz technology in the scalable ULP-COM standard form factor. "The Kontron ULP-COM-sAT30 brings a robust solution that solves many design issues," said Kevin Rhoads, vp of the embedded products business unit at Kontron. "It is an ideal building block for mobile and fixed low power usage model applications that need to operate in harsh environments and require high end graphics, flexible display and camera support." Measuring 82 x 50mm, the device's combination of ARM processor and ULP-COM's optimised ARM/SoC pin-out definition is said to enable designers to build fanless, passively cooled systems that reduce power consumption and the costs of deployed systems.
