VAR-SOM-6UL
NXP iMX6UL / iMX6ULL / iMX6ULZ
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 WiFi 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.
The VAR-SOM-6UL integrates into Variscite's VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family, providing scalability across the full performance spectrum and reducing time-to-market when migrating between platforms.
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.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the VAR-SOM-6UL – a new System on Module powered by NXP’s i.MX 6UL/ 6ULL / 6ULZ ARM Cortex-A7 processor with up to 900MHz CPU Clock. The VAR-SOM-6UL is based on Variscite’s popular DART-6UL platform while integrating additional LVDS bridge option, all packed in SO-DIMM200 form factor to fit the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family. Adding the New module to the Pin2Pin family offers full scalability to Variscite’s customers.
The VAR-SOM-6UL is a highly integrated System on Module, optimized for power, size, and cost. The SoM design is based on the popular DART-6UL platforms and supports the same features and connectivity options, including dual Ethernet, dual USB, audio, camera in, Bluetooth/BLE, CAN Bus, Touch, PWM, ADC, as well as support for industrial temperature grades -40 to 85°C. In addition, the new platform has been enhanced with LVDS bridge via SoM and on SoM two certified WiFi configuration – single-band 802.11b/g/n or dual-band WiFi 802.11ac/a/b/g/n.
The new platform has been customized to fit the ‘VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family, providing a scalable pin-compatible option to i.MX 6 and i.MX 8 platforms. The Pin2Pin family offers Variscite’s customers a high level of scalability, extended lifetime availability, and reduced development time, cost, and risk. For example, customers can easily scale up their end-product to a higher performance SoM, such as the VAR-SOM-MX8X, to improve the graphics performance, or to scale down from other pin-compatible platforms to the VAR-SOM-6UL, to optimize the end products’ cost-performance.

The global component crisis is forcing embedded teams to confront an uncomfortable reality: not all SoM vendors are equally equipped to weather it. In the latest episode of the Embedded Executive Podcast, Variscite CEO Ohad Yaniv joined Rich Nass of Embedded Computing Design to discuss what it takes to keep customer projects on schedule when supplies are under sustained pressure and why the answer starts with who controls your manufacturing. Unlike vendors who rely on subcontractors, Variscite designs and manufactures its entire System on Module portfolio in-house, with production fully certified to ISO 9001, 13485, and 27001 standards.
