The ConnectCore 93 System-on-Module (SoM) from Digi International is built on the NXP i.MX 93 processor platform, offering a scalable and secure solution for embedded designs. This SoM integrates advanced processing capabilities with energy efficiency, making it suitable for industrial and IoT applications that require high performance and low power consumption.
The module features a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-A55 processor combined with a Cortex®-M33 real-time core, enabling heterogeneous computing for complex workloads. It supports AI/ML acceleration through an integrated neural processing unit (NPU), which is ideal for edge computing tasks such as predictive maintenance, vision systems, and smart automation. The SoM also includes robust security features like secure boot, cryptographic acceleration, and hardware root of trust to protect against unauthorized access and ensure data integrity.
Connectivity options on the ConnectCore 93 include Gigabit Ethernet, USB, PCIe, and multiple serial interfaces, allowing seamless integration into diverse system architectures. It supports LPDDR4 memory and eMMC storage for fast data access and reliable performance. The module is designed for extended temperature ranges and industrial-grade reliability, making it suitable for harsh environments.
The accompanying development kit provides engineers with a complete platform for rapid prototyping and testing. It includes interfaces for display, audio, networking, and expansion, along with comprehensive software support through Digi Embedded Yocto and security frameworks. This combination accelerates time-to-market for applications in industrial control, medical devices, transportation systems, and smart infrastructure.
