ATM…
The PPC-A9-150-C Industrial Panel PC is based around the powerful CS-SOM-iMX6Q System
on Module (SoM), powered by the i.MX6Q Arm Cortex -A9 quad-core Application
Processor (APU). The i.MX6Q APU represents the latest achievement in integrated
multimedia applications processors, delivering high-performance computing, an abundance
of integrated peripherals, and high power eciency.
This product also features a broad range of connectivity options, providing a high level of
scalability for various use cases. It is the perfect solution for power-constrained applications
on the Edge, acting as a robust control unit for collecting, processing, and aggregating eld
data. The i.MX6Q APU is part of NXP’s EdgeVerse™ edge computing platform.
The NXP i.MX6UL APU does not generate extensive heat, so even the thin aluminum
housing on PPC version delivers sucient thermal dissipation. With its junction temperature
from -40 to +125°C, the APU itself is well suited for extended temperature range in both
automotive and factory environments.
