The benefits of designing with a System on Module

A System on Module (SOM) is a board-level circuit that integrates a system function into a module. It can integrate digital and analog functions on a single board. A typical application of SOM is in the field of embedded systems. Unlike a single-board computer, a SOM has a special function, such as a system on a chip (SoC).

The device integrated into the SOM typically requires a high level of interconnection. The reasons for this are things like speed, timing, and so on. Building a SOM has advantages, as it does for an SoC. A notable result is the reduction of the cost of the base board or main circuit board. Two other major advantages of SOMs are design reuse and that they can be integrated into many embedded computing applications.

Holger Wussmann van KONTRON Electronics at the invitation of Telerex, will give a lecture on the advantages of a board design based on a SOM compared to a Single Board Computer (SBC). Elements that will certainly be discussed are time, costs and risks, but also the aspects of strategic and lifecycle management, and the benefits in the field of software.
