A computer-on-module (COM) or System on Module (SOM) is a type of single-board computer (SBC), a subtype of an embedded computer system. An extension of the concept of System on Chip (SoC), COM lies between a full-up computer and a microcontroller in nature. 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. SOMs incorporate essential circuitry common to all embedded applications. In this circuitry, a microprocessor interfaces to devices such as RAM, Flash memory and communication transceivers. Depending on supported processor resources, our SOM subassemblies provide voltage regulation, voltage supervision, processor independent watchdog supervision, programmable logic, Ethernet MACs and PHYs, USB and other commonly-used peripherals. Applying the principle of cost accounting, the actual cost of a development is not limited to direct material, but must include the cost and time needed for parts procurement, design, production, test, software and operating system adaptation, as well as support. Even if your material costs are less than the price of a Variscite System on Module (SOM) in OEM quantities, amortizing all costs and design risk - including opportunity costs - over the quantity built yields the true cost of your development. Variscite modules are cost-effective even at higher quantities (such as 10,000 units) and represent a very attractive entry point cost and ramp-up option for new embedded designs.
