The newly released SMARC module specification revision 2.1 will be the first open AIoM (AI on Module) specification.

SMARC short-size module equipped with Intel Atom, Pentium, and Celeron processors.

SMARC is a definition for a diverse and compact-sized computer module targeting applications that require low power, low cost, and high performance. This module typically uses an ARM architecture SOC similar to those found in tablet computers and smartphones. Low-power SOCs and CPUs, such as X86 devices for tablets and other RISC CPUs, can also be utilized. The maximum power of the module is usually below 6W. The module is used as part of portable or stationary embedded systems. Additionally, core CPUs and associated boards, such as DRAM, boot flash, power sequencing, CPU power, GBE, and single-channel LVDS display transmitters, are connected to the module. The module is used with application-specific carrier boards, which include components like audio codecs, touch controllers, and wireless devices. By using a modular approach, it offers excellent expansion and upgrade capabilities, reduces time to market, and achieves low cost, low power, and small size.

The SMARC ("Smart Mobility ARChitecture") is a definition for a versatile small form factor computer-on-module targeting applications that require low power, cost-effectiveness, and high performance. It also caters to systems that need more compact solutions than PC-oriented form factors. ARM SoCs eliminate the need for chips designed for PC platforms and consume less power, significantly reducing the amount of board space required for power conversion devices and power lines. This enables the use of smaller form factors and promotes the adoption of SMARC-compliant modules in low-power mobile devices. The actual power consumption of SMARC CPU modules typically ranges from 2W to 6W, allowing for passive cooling and reducing the effort and overall costs for subsequent development. By using this standard, up to 9W of continuous power can be utilized for more demanding applications.

The low-voltage fuse "SBFC-MS2" is a slow blow fuse that can withstand temporary overcurrents and only blows under continuous overcurrents. It is particularly effective for devices in automobiles where the current temporarily spikes. For example, it protects power window motors, which may blow regular fuses due to the large current that flows temporarily during startup. It is recommended for those facing circuit protection challenges in the automotive and construction machinery industries, as well as for low-voltage fuses (below DC70V).

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
