MicroSys Electronics announces an expansion to its range of ultra robust System-on-Modules in the embedded edge server class.

Based on the NXP QorIQ Layerscape LX2160A processor, the new miriac MPX-LX2160A System-on-Module (SoM) is optimized for the demanding operating conditions of commercial vehicles and mobile systems.

With its 16 Arm Cortex-A72 cores, it provides the technological basis for the significantly greater performance requirements of (AI) edge server applications, autonomous driving, and situational awareness in cobot applications. Offering twice as many cores as its predecessors, the NXP LX2160A is the fastest embedded multi-core processor from NXP on the market today. The module is also optimized for use in functional safety applications.

Typical use cases are primarily found in V2X communications. Examples include edge servers in trains, planes, commercial vehicles, and autonomous mobile systems. Other application areas are industrial data centers in harsh environments – from IIoT networked discrete manufacturing factories with smart collaborative industrial robots to process industries and the energy sector.

The range of applications further includes servers for professional mobile broadcasting and critical communications infrastructure, some of which are also mobile.

Processor-integrated Ethernet controllers enable high-performance high-end communication in these application areas, with up to 100Gbps Ethernet and integrated 116Gbps Layer 2 Ethernet switching. In addition, the module provides efficient packet offload to process and respond to all received information in parallel: offering data rates of 100Gbps, the compression/decompression engine is five times faster, while hardware-based encryption has accelerated by 67%.

A large choice of PCIe 3.0 interfaces with x8 and x4 lanes allows maximum flexibility with fast data throughput.
