5CSX-H6-42A-RI

Overview

The Critical Link 5CSX-H6-42A-RI is a System-on-Module (SOM) based on the Altera Cyclone V SoC. It integrates an ARM Cortex-A8 processor with FPGA fabric containing 110K logic elements. The module includes onboard memory options of 256MB or 1GB RAM. Designed for industrial environments, it supports operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. This SOM serves as the core component for the MitySOM-5CSx development kit, providing a compact computing solution for embedded applications requiring both processing and programmable logic capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Altera Cyclone V SoC with ARM Cortex-A8 processor
• Includes 110K logic elements in the FPGA fabric
• Supports industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C)
• Available with 256MB or 1GB onboard RAM

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Embedded computing platforms requiring FPGA flexibility
• Evaluation and prototyping via MitySOM-5CSx Development Kit
• IoT gateways and edge devices

Part Context

This module belongs to the MitySOM-5CSx family manufactured by Critical Link. It is designed to be evaluated using the associated MitySOM-5CSx Development Kit (Part Number 80-000639), which provides necessary hardware interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, and HSMC connectors for system design verification.

Replacement Considerations

For lower capacity requirements within the same family, the 5CSX-H5-4YA-RC module offers 85K logic elements. Designers should verify pin compatibility and memory configurations when transitioning between different variants of the MitySOM-5CSx series.
