Procurement Notes

This component carries an NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) lifecycle status. Engineers should verify current availability through authorized distributors and consider long-term supply constraints when planning production. Official documentation from GHI Electronics should be consulted for specific handling and moisture sensitivity levels.

Selection Notes

Select this module for applications necessitating an ARM9-based SOM with integrated wireless capabilities. Ensure the host carrier board supports the SO-DIMM interface and provides the required 3.3 V power rail. Verify that the peripheral interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, USB) align with system requirements before integration.

Part Context

The G400S-SM-480 belongs to the GHI Electronics G400 series of System-on-Modules. It shares the core AT91SAM9X35 processor with variants like the G400D-SM-400, differing primarily in software framework support and specific configuration options within the same hardware platform family.

Replacement Considerations

Due to the NRND status, direct replacements may require redesigning the carrier board. Potential alternatives include newer SOMs from GHI Electronics or other vendors offering similar ARM9 processors with compatible pinouts and memory configurations.
