The future
proof Apalis computer
on module family architecture has been developed based on research into
different technologies and in close collaboration with our customers.
The main objectives for the Apalis architecture are as follows:
• Longevity: Apalis is architected with a very long-term lifecycle in mind, not being design around a specific SoC or AP. This decouples Apalis from individual SoC vendors and therefore provides extended lifecycle (10+ years) required for embedded products.
• Extensibility: A wide range of easily configurable interface options supports an almost unlimited variety of product applications. Provision to support as yet unknown interfaces ensures Apalis is ready for next generation connectivity and interface technologies.
• Usability: Complexity is encapsulated on the Apalis Computer module, greatly reducing design complexity for customers. Apalis goes much further than any other COM standard, allowing all high speed signals to be routed to real world connector on a single PCB layer.
• Compatibility: Apalis provides full support for 3.3V voltage level on all GPIOs and industrial standard interfaces, a requirement for many embedded applications.
• Simplicity: Specific focus was put on simplifying power management. Reducing the number of voltage rails and power management signals required greatly helps to reduce design complexity, development time and total cost of the entire system.
