ConnectCore® for
i.MX51
The network-enabled ConnectCore for i.MX53 module family
is a highly integrated and future-proof System-on-Module
(SoM) solution based on the new Freescale® i.MX53 application
processor. It oers a high-performance 1 GHz ARM® Cortex™-A8
core, wired and wireless connectivity options, powerful
1080p/720p video encoding/decoding capabilities and a
complete peripheral set.
The ConnectCore for i.MX53 family builds on the successful
ConnectCore for i.MX51 modules by providing a form factor
compatible option with significantly improved processing,
memory, video and connectivity capabilities. It is a scalable
and energy-eicient module family, ideal for medical devices,
security/surveillance equipment, industrial applications and
digital signage.
