Digi International Inc. extended its IoT solution portfolio with the unveiling of its new Digi ConnectCore® MP1 family of system-on-modules (SOMs). The MP1 is the industry's smallest STM32MP1 SOM that integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and wired connectivity without comprising design flexibility. This solution is made complete with its Connected Device platform as well as its well-tested development tools and design support.

This makes Digi ConnectCore MP1 SOMs a cost-effective wireless solution for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) seeking to reduce risk and effort in their product development. Ideal Digi ConnectCore MP1 applications include handheld products with cameras and/or displays such as medical devices, environmental test equipment, industrial human machine interfaces, or headless devices such as EV charging stations, renewable-energy controllers and others. Leveraging both new and market-proven STM32MP1 micro processing units (MPUs) from STMicroelectronics (STM), Digi ConnectCore MP1 SOMs offer more features with a lower total cost of ownership.

The form factor is smaller than a postage stamp (29x29 mm), which is ideal for form-factor-challenged applications with low-profile requirements. These off-the-shelf family of Digi ConnectCore MP1 SOMs bring scalability, compatibility and pre-certified wireless connectivity in a solution suitable for a broad range of applications in the healthcare, transportation and industrial sectors. The unique Digi SMTplus™ surface-mount form factor provides design flexibility by enabling more complex applications through land grid array (LGA) pads and less complex applications using edge-castellated pads.

By eliminating the need for connectors, ConnectCore SOMs shrink the bill of materials and offer greater suitability for high-vibration and harsh environment applications where connectors are prohibitive. Small Form Factor Packed with High-Performance Features: STM32MP15x, single/dual Cortex-A7 @ 650 MHz; Cortex-M4 companion processing core for real-time tasks; STM32MP15x only); Pre-certified Wi-Fi 5 802.11a/b/g/n/ac + Bluetooth 5.0 (including DLE) option; Up to 1 GB SLC NAND flash, up to 1 GB DDR3; Unique ultra-low power and wake-up state management; Dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity (single 10/100/1000 Eth for STM32MP15x); Fully validated embedded Linux software platform (Digi Embedded Yocto); Digi TrustFence® embedded security framework – ready-to-use security features; Off-the-shelf development board and low-cost gateway reference design; Industrial reliability and operating temperature with leading hardware warranty.
