AVNET, INC. Stutensee, Germany -In order to open up new markets and applications for scalable standard modules, Avnet Embedded, the leading manufacturer of embedded solutions, has expanded its existing partnership with Renesas, a global processor manufacturer, to include compact SMARC modules. Avnet Embedded's objective is to further expand its already extensive portfolio of high-performance embedded module families into a new price/performance class. The first result of this cooperation is Avnet Embedded's energy-efficient MSC SM2S-G2UL SMARC 2.1.1™ module family, which is based on Renesas RZ/G2UL ARM® Cortex™-A55 processors.
Dr. Dominik Ressing, VP Avnet Embedded, says: "The new SMARC module built on technology from Renesas demonstrates our commitment to giving our customers the best possible options for embedding computing in their products. Renesas' RZ/G2UL processors are popular for designs focused on cost and energy efficiency, and this processor series in a modular platform will unlock huge new potential for engineers and product designers."
D.K. Singh, Senior Director and Head of Global System & Solutions at Renesas, says: "We are excited Avnet Embedded is using our RZ/G2UL for this first platform as it complements our module partnership. Avnet's new module will enable a broader customer base access to our solutions, leverage our MPU and comprehensive Renesas portfolio, and reinforce and grow the strategic global engagement Avnet and Renesas have established."
The compact MSC SM2S-G2UL SMARC 2.1.1™module family is in the lower performance and price segment and opens up numerous new areas of application. Typical applications are industrial, IoT and AI, medical, transportation, power engineering and building automation products. The scalable boards with dimensions of 82 x 50mmare specified for the extended temperature range from -40 to +85°C.
Avnet Embedded develops its SMARC module families in its company-owned design centers where it's experts have built up comprehensive embedded expertise. The modules are manufactured in large quantities in highly automated production facilities in Germany.
