SMARC
Geniatech’s SMARC 2.1 modules compliant with the Smart Mobility ARChitecture (SMARC) standard by SGET, perfect for small form-factor embedded systems that require low power, low costs, and high performance. Our SMARC modules are designed and manufactured in-house in China, and we also provide custom services to meet unique project requirements.
What are SMARC modules?
SMARC (Smart Mobility Architecture) is a computer module standard for embedded systems. Developed by the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET), it aims to provide standardized modular solutions for mobile and compact embedded applications.
Key features of the SMARC standard include:
Size: SMARC modules are compact, with a standard size of 80mm x 50mm, making them ideal for space-constrained mobile and portable devices.
Power Consumption: Designed for low power consumption, SMARC modules typically target power consumption below 6W, making them suitable for battery-powered applications.
Performance: Despite their small size and low power, SMARC modules still provide sufficient computing performance to meet the needs of many embedded applications.
Interfaces: SMARC modules offer a rich set of interfaces, including USB, I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, etc., to support various external devices and sensors.
Compatibility: The SMARC standard defines the physical dimensions, interfaces, and electrical characteristics of modules to ensure high compatibility between modules from different manufacturers.
Applications: SMARC modules are suitable for various embedded applications, including industrial automation, medical devices, handheld devices, automotive systems, IoT devices, etc.
Easy Integration: Due to their standardized design, SMARC modules can be easily integrated into larger systems, helping to shorten the product development cycle.
Long-term Support: As a widely accepted industry standard, SMARC is supported by many semiconductor and embedded system manufacturers, ensuring long-term availability and technical support.
SMARC modules are a popular choice in embedded system design due to their small size, low power consumption, and high performance, especially in applications with strict space and energy requirements.
