SOMDM3730-30-2780AKCR

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Overview

The Beacon EmbeddedWorks SOMDM3730-30-2780AKCR is an ultra-compact System on Module (SOM) based on the Texas Instruments DaVinci DM3730 processor. It features an ARM Cortex-A8 core running at 1 GHz and a TMS320C64x DSP core up to 800 MHz, paired with 256 MB SDRAM and 512 MB NAND flash using PoP technology. The module integrates a WL1283 wireless chipset supporting 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, and GPS. Designed for commercial applications with a junction temperature limit of 90°C, it measures 15 x 33 x 3.8 mm.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix AKCR against official Logic PD or Beacon EmbeddedWorks documentation to confirm the exact memory configuration and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with existing Torpedo SOM connectors if upgrading from previous generations. Confirm that the 90°C junction temperature limit meets the thermal requirements of the target enclosure design.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Selection Notes

Select this model when a 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor combined with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS is required in a space-constrained environment. Choose the industrial variant (suffix IR) if the application demands operation above 90°C junction temperature. Verify that the 256 MB SDRAM and 512 MB NAND flash meet storage and runtime memory needs.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Part Context

This component belongs to the Torpedo + Wireless SOM family, which extends the roadmap of existing OMAP35x and Torpedo SOMs. It shares mechanical dimensions and connector layouts with standard Torpedo modules, facilitating direct upgrades. The product line is engineered, manufactured, and supported in the USA by Beacon EmbeddedWorks.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consider the AM3703-based variants within the same Torpedo + Wireless family for alternative processor configurations.
