Compass Electronics Solutions System on Module OMAP35x SOM-LV

The OMAP35x System on Module (SOM) is a compact, product-ready hardware and software solution that fast forwards embedded designs. Based on Texas Instruments’ OMAP 3 processor family and designed in the SOM-LV Type III form factor, the OMAP35x module offers essential features for handheld and embedded networking applications. The OMAP35x SOM-LV features the superset OMAP3530 processor but also supports the OMAP3503 processor. The SOM-LV is an off-the-shelf solution that reduces development risks associated with the complex design and manufacturing details of the OMAP 3 processor. The standard SOM-LV form factor allows developers to reuse existing baseboard designs when upgrading to new OMAP processors, which extends roadmap possibilities for their end-product. By starting with the corresponding Zoom™ OMAP35x Development Kit, engineers can write application software on the same hardware that will be used in the final product. The OMAP35x SOM-LV is ideal for applications in the medical, point-of-sale, industrial, and security markets. From patient monitoring and medical imaging, to card payment terminals and bar code readers, to CCTV cameras and intruder alarms, the OMAP35x SOM-LV allows for powerful versatility and long-life products.
