This Challenge Awaits You

Increasingly shorter development and acquisition cycles require quick responses to customer needs. The range of available controllers is enormous and is continuously being expanded by well-known manufacturers with additional derivatives offering higher performance, extended features or more cost-effective configurations. Often, at the start of a requested series project, the optimal controller is only just before SoP, meaning that related controllers from the respective family have to be used to start development.

A standardized SoM interface helps to establish this flexibility in the development process. This interface is to be defined and established by way of example on the basis of extensive research into the portfolios of major component manufacturers and available SoMs. Coordination with the needs of potential development projects ensures the practical relevance of this definition.
