VAR-SOM-6UL :
NXP iMX6UL / iMX6ULL / iMX6ULZ

Starting from $24

The VAR-SOM-6UL is a highly flexible System on Module (SoM) / Computer on Module (CoM) based on NXP i.MX 6UltraLite / i.MX 6ULL / i.MX 6ULZ ARM Cortex-A7 processor, up to 900MHz CPU Clock. The SoM is a member of Variscite’s VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family and provides a scalable pin-compatible option to i.MX6, i.MX8/ 8X/ 8M/ 8M-Mini and i.MX 8M Nano-based platforms. The Pin2pin family offers Variscite’s customers a high level of scalability, extended lifetime availability and reduced development time, cost and risk.

The VAR-SOM-6UL provides a variety of interfaces and connectivity options – all packaged at an optimized power, size and cost. The SoM’s highly integrated connectivity includes a certified single 802.11b/g/n or dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac/a/b/g/n, Bluetooth/BLE, dual Ethernet, dual USB, audio, camera in, parallel RGB and LVDS display with touch panel and serial interfaces.

The system supports industrial temperature grades -40 to 85°C and long longevity commitment targeting embedded products in various industrial segments and applications.

For the complete Pin2pin product list, check the Variscite Pin2Pin System on Module families.

** The Pin2Pin compatibility depends on pinmux options; please verify the detailed pinout table in the related SoM to confirm compatibility is maintained in your specific design.
