The phyCARD-L-OMAP3530 SOM delivers up to 720 MHz and supports the Texas Instrument' OMAP3530 processor based on the ARM® Cortex™-A8 architecture. Due to identical break-out of interface signals per PHYTEC’s innovative X-Arc embedded bus standard, the phyCARD-L-OMAP3525 is compatible with other phyCARD family members making resources available at a single, 100-pin connector including Ethernet, USB, UART, SPI, I2C, audio, SDIO/MMC, GPIO, JTAG, display (LVDS), and more.
