Freescale Vybrid VF5xx Computer on Module - Colibri VF50

Powered by Freescale Vybrid Processor

 

The Colibri VF50 is the latest addition to the Colibri ARM based computer on module product family.

The Colibri VF50 is a SODIMM sized computer module based on the Freescale Vybrid embedded system-on-a-chip. The Cortex A5 CPU peaks at 400 MHz. This Computer module delivers cost effective CPU and graphic performance with minimum power consumption.

The Vybrid VF5xx family is a single-core (ARM Cortex-A5) solution with 1.5 MB on-chip SRAM, DDR3 memory interface, dual high-speed USB with PHY, dual Ethernet with an L2 switch, and a digital video camera interface. VF5xx devices are also software and pin compatible with the VF6xx Vybrid Controller family that also includes a second core (Cortex-M4 core) potentially eliminating the need for an external MCU or field programmable gate array (FPGA).

Suitable for a Wide Range of Applications

 

Colibri V50 is ideal for applications including simple HMI in appliances and industrial machines, secure control of infrastructure and manufacturing equipment, energy conversion applications such as motor drives and power inverters, ruggedized wired and wireless connectivity, and control of mobile battery-operated systems such as robots and industrial vehicles.

Easy Performance Upgrade 

 

Existing customers will benefit from an extremely easy migration path between the current Colibri PXAxxx or Colibri Txx module range to the Colibri VF50 – all Colibri modules are electrically pin compatible. New customers will also appreciate the ability to select the Colibri module most suitable for their application to achieve the optimum price/performance balance without the need to support different carrier board designs

Intel/Marvell Xscale PXA320 Computer on Module - Colibri PXA320

Ready for Takeoff - Marvell XScale^® PXA320 with 806MHz

Colibri PXA320 is an SODIMM sized computer module which is part of the Colibri product family. Colibri PXA320 is based on the Marvell ARM^® XScale^® PXA320 (Monahans) processor and runs at 806MHz. The processor's power consumption is optimized using the Intel Wireless Speedstep® Technology. Colibri Computer modules feature state of the art technology, aiming at low power systems that require high CPU performance. They also provide all the interfaces needed in a modern embedded device.

Besides the internal Flash memory, there are plenty of interfaces available for data storage: USB-Memory Stick, Compact Flash / PCMCIA and SD Card.

Colibri modules provide glueless connectivity to passive and active LCDs with resolutions of up to 1024x768, as well as 4 and 5-wire resistive touch screens. An integrated 16 bit stereo codec allows to play and record audio. Colibris can directly connect to a CMOS camera sensor.

In addition Colibris offer 100 MBit Ethernet as well as USB host and USB device functionality.

Flexibility and Scalability

Colibris can be scaled to meet specific cost requirements.

The entire CPU bus is available for custom extensions, such as special interfaces for high bandwidth applications.

Industrial Temperature available

Colibri PXA320 IT is a special version which meets the stringent requirement of industrial temperature range (-40 to +85 degree Celsius).

Professional Development Tools

Colibris come with a pre-installed Windows CE operating system and state of the art development tools that allow an easy customization of the system to make it fit specific needs (e.g. LCD settings & timings, integration of customer software and the auto-start option at startup).

Users can therefore concentrate on their actual application without going through the hassle of setting up an operating system. Special drivers are delivered by Toradex on request.
