SMARC Module

Compact, powerful, and scalable modules for IoT applications.

The SMARC (Smart Mobility ARChitecture) module is a compact, computer module standard designed to meet the demands of next-generation applications. Utilizing a standard 314-pin edge connector, a single SMARC design can support a wide range of processors, memory options, and wireless configurations. It's diversity and number of available hardware interfaces make it an ideal choice for everything from a single display and single input handheld device to complex medical equipment requiring multiple displays, audio, and several input types. Future-proof your designs with the versatility and efficiency of Ezurio’s SMARC SOMs.

What is SMARC?

SMARC® (Smart Mobility ARChitecture) is a popular global hardware specification by the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET), of which Ezurio is a proud member driving key standards. It is designed for compact, low-power , and high-performance usage to future-proof your design.

  • Quick: Can add new features without changing the board layout.
  • Compatible: Utilizes ARM® and x86 processors.
  • Low-Power: 5W - 15W usage
  • Future-Proof: Standard, low-profile 314 pin edge connector.
