TQMa91xxLA Embedded Cortex®-A55 module

Product Heading

The TQMa91xxLA Embedded Module, built upon NXP's i.MX 91 series, combines the robust Arm® Cortex®-A55 architecture with a diverse range of interfaces, making it an ideal choice for high-volume projects in the realm of embedded computing. This LGA module is tailor-made for applications demanding efficiency, low power consumption, and secure data processing.

Key features of the TQMa91xxLA include high-speed communication capabilities facilitated by 2x Gbit Ethernet (with 1x TSN support) and 2x USB 2.0 interfaces. It boasts impressive power efficiency, typically consuming only 2W, which is crucial for applications requiring extended operational hours on limited power sources.

Security is paramount in embedded systems, and the TQMa91xxLA doesn't disappoint. It incorporates an Advanced Secure Element (SE050) to enhance data security, a critical consideration in applications dealing with sensitive information.

Additionally, this module incorporates a gyroscope sensor, enhancing its versatility and potential use cases. Being a TQ Hardware partner with NXP underscores its compatibility and reliability in NXP-based projects.

The TQMa91xxLA offers ample memory options with up to 2GB LPDDR4, up to 256 MB Quad SPI NOR, up to 256 GB eMMC, and optional EEPROM. Its rich set of communication interfaces includes up to 2x CAN FD, up to 8x UART, and up to 8x I²C, among others.

With dimensions measuring 38 x 38 mm and compatibility with both standard and extended temperature ranges, this module is well-suited for demanding environments. It employs the LGA (Land Grid Array) 281-pin plug-in system and operates on a 5V power supply.

The TQMa91xxLA is supported by popular operating systems like Linux and FreeRTOS, making it a versatile choice for embedded engineers working on industrial automation and control projects requiring efficient, secure, and power-conscious data processing.
