Manufactured by Direct Insight’s long-standing partner, Ka-Ro Electronics, the QSMP module family’s STM32MP1 processors deliver high performance via the QSMP-15’s STM32MP157A with dual 650MHz ARM Cortex-A7 core and GPU, and very low cost thanks to the STM32MP135C single core version – the QSMP-13.
Also included are RAM, Flash memory and power management. All modules offer an extended temperature spec of -25°C to +85°C, single 3.3-5V supply and production-ready Linux BSP within a Yocto package.
The module’s wide range of connectivity options include: CANbus, UART (x5), SPI (x2), I2C (x2), Audio, Gb Ethernet, SD, USB Host and Client and a parallel RGB display.
Packaged as a 27mm x 27mm device measuring 2.3mm high, the solder-down configuration of the QSMP-13 employs a QFN-type pinout style which features a 1mm pitch with 100 edge-located pads, which permit simple 2-layer baseboards if required.
Modules can be soldered directly to a baseboard, eliminating unnecessary connectors, while improving thermal efficiency and saving space.
Optimised layout minimises EMI problems. The single-sided design means that no components are subjected to 3rd reflow pass and there are no buried contacts that require X-Ray inspection. Therefore, the modules are suitable for rugged environments.
The QSMP comes with a dedicated development system, equipped with Linux BSP.
