Overview

The Mars MA3 system-on-chip (SoC) module combines Intel's Cyclone V SoC device with fast DDR3L SDRAM, quad SPI flash, a Gigabit Ethernet and a Fast Ethernet PHY as well as an RTC and thus forms a complete and powerful embedded processing system.

The SO-DIMM form factor allows space-saving hardware designs as well as quick and simple integration of the module into the target application.

The Mars MA3 SoC module reduces development effort, redesign risk and improves time-to-market for your embedded system.

Highlights

• Built around Intel's Cyclone V SoC
• Combines the flexibility of a CPU system with the parallel processing power and real-time capabilities of an FPGA system
• Available in industrial temperature range
• Supports USB 2.0, CAN and Gigabit Ethernet
• Linux BSP and tool chain available
• Powerful and compact FPGA board

Benefits

• A complete and powerful embedded processing system in the industry-standard SO-DIMM form factor
• Simple, low cost and yet rugged assembly
• Simple and low-cost integration due to the on-board standard interfaces (USB, Ethernet, CAN)
