VAR-SOM-MX6 :
NXP/Freescale iMX6

The VAR-SOM-MX6 sets the bar for unparalleled design flexibility.
Supporting the i.MX6 QuadPlus/Quad/Dual/DualLite/Solo core ARM Cortex-A9, the VAR-SOM-MX6 allows designers to use a single System on Module / Computer on Module in a broad range of applications to achieve short time-to-market for their current innovations, while still accommodating potential R&D directions and marketing opportunities.

This versatile solution’s -40 to 85 °C temperature range, certified WiFi/BT module including optional Dual Band 2.4 / 5 GHz and MIMO and Dual CAN support is ideal for industrial applications, while 1080p video and graphics accelerations make it equally suitable for intensive multimedia applications.

New: i.MX 6QuadPlus with 50% enhancement on the graphics performance over the i.MX 6Quad in a fully pin-2-pin compatible solution for full scalability.

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.
