System on Module (SOM)

Imaging and Video intensive industries face challenge of designing and developing customized hardware solution for specific application use case, in reduced time and cost. This is coupled with fast evolving processor families with ever increasing complexity (density) integrated inside, requiring product companies to constantly launch new / upgraded existing variants in short time.

System on Module (SOM) is panacea which ensures reduced development and design risk for both. SOM, a re-usable module encompasses maximum hardware/processor complexity, leaving reduced work on the carrier/main board, accelerating Time to Market.

• SOM empowers product companies in enriching product mix by integrating system on module into different carrier cards allowing development of various products variants.


• Conversely same / common carrier card may also be populated with multiple SOM cards to develop cost effective and application specific solutions.


• Allows multiple products with different Price Performance Point with same design.

DaVinci DM816x & DM814x and C6A816x DSP + ARM System on Module (SOM)

The latest SOMs developed by eInfochips are based on Texas Instruments' high-end video processing SoC families DaVinci DM816x & DM814x and C6A816x DSP + ARM. These are smallest form factor SOMs available in the market on these processor families. Even with this smallest form factor, SOM has PC equivalent processor speed where ARM can go up to 1 GHz and DSP can go up to 750 MHZ.

This makes SOM ideal off-the-shelf solution for high-end video processing intensive applications such as Machine Vision, Medical Imagining, Telecom, and other Multimedia/Imaging Applications.
