Newly Released SMARC Module Specification Revision 2.1 Positions It as the First Open AIoM (AI on Module) Specification


SMARC 2.1 Specification

“The new SMARC AIoM proposition is excellently positioned, supporting long lifecycles.”

ADLINK Technology, a global leader in edge computing and one of the main contributors to the SMARC SGET committee, is pleased to announce the release of SMARC module Revision 2.1. The Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies, SGET, has just released the new, future-proof specification 2.1. It is fully backward compatible with the current specification 2.0, since the new features can either be multiplexed with existing signals or are additions that do not compromise pins on the edge connector already assigned in the 2.0 specifications.

The major feature updates include:

  • Support of up to four MIPI CSI ports to anticipate the needs of the AI and Robotics markets
  • Allowing multiplexing of SERDES signals over the 3rd and 4th PCIe x1 interfaces for additional Ethernet ports
  • Various minor additions over earlier reserved pins such as plus 2 GPIO pins and PCIe clock request signals

By allowing up to four native CSI MIPI camera inputs, the SGET 2.1 specification addresses the fast-growing trend of SOCs that come with integrated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) and multiple camera inputs for video-based AI solutions. The third and fourth camera port are realized through FFC feature connectors on the module itself, each supporting up to 4 MIPI CSI data lanes. Multi-camera support is needed for 360-degrees situational awareness for fast-growing segments such as robotic vehicles and autonomous driving, both of which draw heavily on AI. The specification update positions SMARC as the preferred standard for scalable, low power, silicon independent AIoM (AI on Module) solutions in the industrial embedded market.

To allow multiplexing SERDES signals over the 3rd and 4th PCIe x1 interfaces, there is additional support for two more Ethernet ports. This potentially allows a module to work with up to 4 GbE Ethernet ports. These ports can again support the same number of GigE-Vision cameras with a strong focus on AI vision applications.

“The AI in computer vision market, valued at around USD 2.5 billion in 2017, is expected to reach USD 25 billion by 2023, with a CAGR of 45% during the forecast period. Robotics and Machine Vision applications are to hold the biggest share of that significant increase. Most of these applications require low power envelopes because they are either battery powered or built into fan-less, air-tight enclosures, such as Smart Cameras. The new SMARC AIoM proposition is excellently positioned, supporting long lifecycles, extreme temperatures, high MTBF and other must-have industrial characteristics,” commented Henri Parmentier, who manages the SMARC product line for ADLINK Technology.

Besides the above functional changes, the specification itself saw a major structural overhaul to make it more readable. Great attention was given to generate more precise and detailed information about every pin’s power domain and PU/PD status. This effort will simplify carrier board designs and increase the level of compatibility and interoperability between module designs, both for different technologies (x86 and ARM) and different vendors.

SMARC clearly stands out as the only truly open, versatile, future proof, low power COM/AIoM standard in a highly fragmented market with a multitude of alternative form factors. Most of these “proprietary alternatives” are either silicon dependent, badly documented, undergoing continuous changes, or are going to be abandoned altogether. As proof of this trend, the SMARC module form factor products are actively being designed and produced by more than 20 leading embedded companies worldwide, with more companies joining in every year.

The complete SMARC module 2.1 specification document is available on the SGeT website (https://sget.org) for a free download.

Navitas Drives the GaN Power IC Patent Landscape


News Image

It’s a formidable IP platform and delivers leading-edge, next-generation solutions across all markets from mobile fast-chargers for laptops and smartphones to wireless power transfer, high-power IT infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, motor drives for industry, drones and robotics, plus new energy a

Navitas Semiconductor announced today that it has been issued over 100 patents in gallium nitride (GaN), a new power semiconductor material that runs up to 20x faster than old, slow silicon (Si) chips, delivering up to 3x more power conversion and half the size and weight, and creating a multi-$B market.

Navitas’ GaNFast™ Power ICs use its proprietary AllGaN™ monolithically-integrated 650V process design kit (PDK) platform to combine GaN power FETs with GaN analog drive and GaN digital logic circuits onto a single chip. As presented at the CPSS conference in 2019, The AllGaN PDK has proven to be extremely accurate comparing modelled results to actual device performance. The patents span a broad innovation range from semiconductor functional blocks (integrated gate drive, half-bridge, level-shifting, autonomous protection, etc.) and advanced low-inductance packaging, to high-frequency systems and application use cases.

“This is a tremendous milestone in the GaN power industry, and demonstrates our focus on innovation at the chip-level plus consistent drive to ensure the performance benefits can be exploited at the system-level by our customers,” said Dan Kinzer, Navitas CTO & COO, adding “Of course, a major additional factor is in the form of trade secrets and the proprietary AllGaN PDK which unlocks the high-speed capabilities of GaN and provides a robust, ‘digital-in, power-out’ system building block.”

Navitas first pioneered GaN power ICs by demonstrating monolithically-integrated single and half-bridge products at the world-leading Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) in 2015, going on to introduce details of the proprietary AllGaN PDK in an invited keynote at APEC 2016. A series of advanced, high-speed, high-performance reference designs and fully-qualified production release followed, leading to the world’s first commercially-released GaN-based mobile fast-charger in 2017. More than 50 GaNFast customer projects are now in mass production – including the world’s smallest 65W USB-C laptop and smartphone fast-charger by Xiaomi – and Navitas production continues to ramp steeply with excellent quality and reliability.

“Navitas began with an experienced, strong and creative technical team with an impressive record of invention and we’ve expanded that team to accelerate the growth in the patent portfolio” said Gene Sheridan, Navitas CEO, continuing “It’s a formidable IP platform and delivers leading-edge, next-generation solutions across all markets from mobile fast-chargers for laptops and smartphones to wireless power transfer, high-power IT infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, motor drives for industry, drones and robotics, plus new energy applications.”

Neousys Technology Launches PCIe-PoE312M, A World-First Server-grade Gigabit 802.3at PoE+ Card with M12 x-coded Connectors


PCIe-PoE312M

Different from the traditional Ethernet PoE+ card, it uses M12 connectors to replace the shortcomings of the RJ45 connectors that were prone to loosen in the past. And it comes with strengthened cables that are suitable for shock, vibration and harsh application environments, such as in railway/ in-vehicle Ethernet communication, rugged surveillance and machine vision, etc.

To make PCIe-PoE312M widely compatible and applicable in various IPCs or BOX PCs, the card features a patent-pending double-deck design that allows the adaptation of the M12 connectors on standard PCIe slot opening on chassis. There is also a layer of insulation mylar on the deck surface to avoid contact or interference. As far as patents go, it also has unique housing design where the connectors utilize a CNC-milled aluminum block as its connector housing screw that can also reinforce the faceplate to absorb force applied on the cable/ connector. It offers an extremely rugged and reliable cable connection for Ethernet or PoE+ devices.

“This is an unprecedented PCIe-PoE+ Card with M12 connectors. PCIe-PoE312M utilizes the reliability and robustness of the M12 connector and its strengthened cable connectivity to ensure that the connector will always be tightly secured when used in harsh environments.
