Industrial Automation Platform with Arm Cortex-A53

Applications such as human machine interfaces (HMI), image processing, video processing, and AI systems require high-performance, low-latency, and energy-efficient computing. The Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 platform offers efficient data processing, video encoding/decoding, and AI model execution, making it ideal for industrial automation environments focused on real-time performance, reliability, and scalability.

This industrial automation platform design provides a comprehensive power and clocking system tailored for Arm Cortex-A53 MPUs, including the iMX8M series of application processors.

System Benefits​:

• Simplifies system integration by meeting power, clock, and connectivity requirements for Arm Cortex-A53 core MPUs, reducing design complexity.
• Two high-performance PMICs simplify design, reduce the BOM, and offer a smaller footprint, lowering costs and space requirements.
• Multiple clock outputs from a single generator reduce the need for multiple components, saving cost and board space.
• A dedicated programmable PCIe clock with very low jitter ensures reliable PCIe performance with minimal signal distortion, enhancing system stability and data transfer accuracy.
