Nitrogen91 SMARC

Under Development: Preview

Overview

Contact us today for samples!

Our customers asked for a low power and robust SoM that simplifies their BOM, uses a standard form factor, and is globally certified. One with multiple wireless, peripheral, and software support options, and with a long-term plan for security architecture and fixes. 

Our new Nitrogen91 SMARC (What is SMARC?) SOM is powered by NXP’s next generation i.MX 91 processor, NXP PMIC PCA9451A, and our Sona Wi-Fi 6/6E + Bluetooth 5.4 module families based on leading NXP, Infineon, and TI solutions. It features high performance LPDDR4 RAM and eMMC storage. Combined with our common SMARC carrier board, they serve as a single board computer (SBC) that can speed your product to market. Alternately, work with us to create a custom carrier that fits your mechanical, environmental, temperature, and interface requirements. 

  • Cost Effective Linux Processing: Up to 1.4 GHz single-core Cortex-A55 microprocessor allows you to run a full featured Linux OS.
  • Diversity of Interfaces: Network, audio, and I/O interfaces.
  • SMARC 2.1.1 Standard Form Factor: 82mm x 50mm SMARC edge connector form factor includes onboard ethernet PHYs. One design supports multiple processor, memory, and wireless configurations. 
  • Hardware Upgrade Roadmap: Your product is easily upgraded to latest processor/wireless options as future Ezurio SMARC SOMs are released. 
  • Advanced Common Carrier/Development Board: Audio, Ethernet, USB, CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, and more. Use in development, as an SBC equivalent in a product, or as reference designs for your carrier board design

FAQ

What is the difference between part numbers SMARC_CAR and SMARC_CAR_BRD

Our Universal SMARC Carrier is orderable both as a standalone carrier board (SMARC_CAR_BRD) and as a kit (SMARC_CAR) complete with power, data, and antenna cable options. 

  • The part # SMARC_CAR option includes:
  • 1 x SMARC_CAR_BRD  (Main Carrier board that SMARC SOMs plug into) 
  • 1 x 5V Power Supply (USA plug connector only) 
  • 1 x DB9 Serial Cable 
  • 3 x EFB2471A3S-10MH4L (Tri-Band Wi-Fi Antennas) 
  • 2 x 001-0021 (Dual-Band Wi-Fi Antennas) 
  • 1 x Insert Card 

The part # SMARC_CAR_BRD is also purchasable on its own and this is the main carrier board. 

PLEASE NOTE – neither of these 2 part numbers include either a Nitrogen or Tungsten SMARC, they are purchased separately to meet the needs of your application. 

What key is the M.2 slot on the Universal SMARC Carrier board?

The M.2 Slot on the Universal SMARC Carrier board is E key.
