Variscite Pin2Pin System on Module families

Two highly scalable product families based on NXP processors

The VAR-SOM and DART Pin2Pin product families offer Variscite’s customers significant long-term advantages:

  • Scalability: Your end product can be easily scaled to a higher or lower performance platform at all stages while keeping the same carrier board design for the different platforms.
  • Optimized cost/performance: With a full span of performance, feature-set, and cost, you can easily optimize your end product cost/performance by adjusting the platform to your actual needs.
  • Ease of development and integration: Develop a single custom carrier board to support different pin-compatible SoM solutions, reduce development time, cost, and risk.
  • Lifetime extension: Upgrade your products with a newer solution with an extended lifetime availability.
