CM-T43: TI AM437x

Miniature Size and Power Efficiency

WIDE RANGE OF HIGH-SPEED INTERFACES

Ideal Solution for Cost-sensitive Systems

The TI Sitara AM437x high-performance system-on-chip (SoC) is built around the ARM CortexA9 core. The SoC includes POWERVR SGX™ 3D graphics acceleration for rich graphical user interfaces, as well as a co-processor for deterministic, real-time processing including industrial communication protocols, such as EtherCAT®, PROFIBUS®, EnDat and others. Cryptographic acceleration is also available in every CM-T43 device. Secure boot can also be made available for anti-cloning and illegal software update protection.
