Smallest i.MX6Q module launched
The Triton-TX6Q, available from Direct Insight – is believed to be the world's smallest such device. Designed to bring multimedia capability to industrial applications, the module is based on Freescale's i.MX6Q device, offering the industrial temperature range.
The quad ARM Cortex-A9 based i.MX6Q runs at 1GHz, with dedicated codecs supporting 1080p video decode at 60frame/s or the encoding of two 720p streams. Graphics acceleration is available via independent 3d and 2d engines. In addition, the i.MX6 provides a range of connectivity options..
The 68 x 31mm module slots into the StarterKit-5 baseboard for development and full schematics are supplied to facilitate development of a custom baseboard. StarterKit-5 offers a range of capacitive and resistive touch screens as options for development and most screens can be supported in production.
Supporting from 1to 2Gbyte of 64bit DDR3-1066 ram and 128Mbyte of NAND, the module takes a single 3 to 5.5V supply and provides a 1A 3.3V power output for use on the baseboard.Modules and development kits will be available from Direct Insight early in 2013.
