Apalis T30 Computer Module - Hardware

The Apalis T30 is a computer module based on the NVIDIA© Tegra 3 embedded System-on-Chip (SoC). The Cortex A9 quad core CPU peaks up to 1.4 GHz Single Core / 1.3 GHz Quad Core. This System on Module delivers very high CPU and graphic performance with minimum power consumption. 

The Apalis T30 incorporates DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Switching) and Thermal Throttling which enables the system to continuously adjust operating frequency and voltage in response to changes in workload and temperature to achieve the best performance with the lowest power consumption. 

The integrated NVIDIA Graphics enables visually rich, smooth and fast user interfaces. 

The module targets a wide range of applications, including: Digital Signage, Medical Devices, Navigation, Industrial Automation, HMIs, Avionics, Entertainment System, POS, Data Acquisition, Thin Clients, Robotics, Gaming and much more

It offers a wide range of interfaces from simple GPIOs, industry standard I2C and SPI buses through to high speed USB 2.0 interfaces and high speed PCI Express and SATA. The HDMI and dual channel LVDS interfaces make it very easy to connect large, full HD and beyond resolution displays. 

The Apalis T30 ARM Computer module encapsulates the complexity associated with modern day electronic design, such as high speed impedance controlled layouts with high component density utilising blind and buried via technology. This allows the customer to create a carrier board which implements the application specific electronics which is generally much less complicated. The Apalis T30 module takes this one step further and implements an interface pin out which allows direct connection of real world I/O ports without needing to cross traces or traverse layers, referred to as Direct Breakout™. This becomes increasingly important for customers as more interfaces move toward high speed, serial technologies that use impedance controlled differential pairs, as it allows them to easily route such interfaces to common connectors in a simple, robust fashion.
