IW-G28M-SM20-3D512M-E008G-BIF

Overview

The iW-G28M-SM20-3D512M-E008G-BIF is a System-on-Module based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 series, specifically utilizing the Zynq-7020 SoC operating at -1 speed grade. It integrates an ARM Cortex-A9 processor running at 866 MHz with dual cores. The module provides 512 MB of DDR3 SDRAM and 8 GB of eMMC flash storage. Connectivity includes integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0. It features a standard SODIMM form factor measuring 67.6 mm by 37 mm and supports a 3.3 V operating supply voltage.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Xilinx Zynq-7020 SoC with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 architecture for combined processing and programmable logic capabilities.
• Includes onboard 512 MB DDR3 memory and 8 GB eMMC flash for data storage and boot code execution.
• Provides wireless connectivity via integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 interfaces.
• Utilizes a compact SODIMM package design suitable for industrial-grade temperature operation environments.

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Embedded IoT gateways requiring wireless communication
• Portable medical devices
• Automotive infotainment subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix BIF corresponds to the required boot code configuration and wireless certification region. Confirm compatibility with host carrier board pinouts against the official iWave Global datasheet. Ensure thermal management solutions align with the module's power dissipation characteristics under full load conditions. Check for any regional regulatory compliance documentation required for the integrated Wi-Fi and BLE components before final integration.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a combination of FPGA programmability and high-performance ARM processing is required in a small footprint. It is suitable for applications needing built-in wireless connectivity without external modules. Consider the -1 speed grade performance limits if real-time processing demands exceed the 866 MHz capability. Evaluate the 512 MB RAM constraint for complex Linux or bare-metal implementations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the iW-G28M series of System-on-Modules from iWave Global. These modules are designed around Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoCs, offering a balance of processing power and reconfigurable logic. The series targets embedded markets requiring robust connectivity and compact form factors. The G28M designation indicates the specific generation and form factor within the iWave portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Zynq-7000 based SODIMM modules such as the iW-G28M-SM20-3D512M-E008G-BIB, which shares similar core specifications but may differ in boot code or wireless certification variants. Cross-reference pinout compatibility and software driver support when considering alternative suppliers or updated generations within the same family.
