Introducing the AM62P System on Module for Cost-Effective Multimedia Applications

Monday, 10 Mar 2025

Variscite has announced the release of the VAR-SOM-AM62P System on Module (SoM). Designed to deliver advanced multimedia functionality while maintaining cost efficiency.

Powered by the Texas Instruments Sitara AM62Px processor, the VAR-SOM-MX62P is an enhanced version of the VAR-SOM-AM62. It offers increased video acceleration, a more powerful 3D GPU, and multi-screen support.

Key Features of the VAR-SOM-AM62P

The VAR-SOM-AM62P incorporates features and connectivity options that make it suitable fora variety of applications, such as industrial automation, medical devices, multimedia, and IoT:

  • Processing power: A 1.4GHz quad-core Cortex®-A53 processor combined with an 800MHz Cortex-R5F real-time co-processor
  • Enhanced multimedia: 3D GPU with OpenGL ES 3.2 & Vulkan 1.2, 3x display support and H.264/H.265 Video Encoder/Decoder
  • Extensive connectivity: Certified WiFi 6 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n with 802.15.4, Bluetooth 5.4 + BLE, 2x Gigabit Ethernet, 4x CAN-FD, camera input, audio interfaces, and 2x USB
  • Industrial-grade temperature range: -40°C to 85°C

Seamless Scalability with the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin Family

The VAR-SOM-AM62P is part of the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family, which allows developers to scale their designs across a wide range of SoMs—from entry-level to high-performance modules—without hardware redesigns. This compatibility reduces development time, cost, and risk while ensuring extended product longevity.

“The launch of Variscite’s new System on Module, powered by TI’s AM62P SoC, enhances our VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family with cost-optimized solution with advanced multimedia capabilities and ensures seamless scalability with our AM62-based SoM”, said Ofer Austerlitz, VP Business Development and Sales for Variscite.

Live Demonstration at Embedded World 2025

Variscite will display the VAR-SOM-AM62P at Embedded World 2025, taking place from March 11–13 in Nuremberg, Germany. Attendees can visit booth 4A-342 to see a demonstration of the module’s capabilities in action.

Variscite and CELUS Bring AI-Assisted Design to Engineers
Variscite is bringing its System on Module (SoM) portfolio into the CELUS Design Platform, giving engineers a faster way to move from initial concept to a production-ready design, with much of the manual component-selection work automated away. The integration pairs Variscite’s hardware with CELUS’ AI Design Assistant, aimed at cutting time out of the early, slow-moving stages of hardware design.
