1 Benefit of Modular Design How to speed up your design with lower risk by using Components off the shelf (COTS) Wolfgang Heinz-Fischer Head of Marketing

2 Design Concerns & Target Save Time Cut down Cost Minimize Risk Manage Technology

3 Market Trend How do you solve this Contradiction? Complexities of processors increasing rapidly Extended Design Time Higher Design Risk faster Time-to-Market Engineering Resources Product Lifecycle

4 Modular Design The Solution: Modular Design

5 Modular Design (COTS) Principle COTS Module 60% to 80% done in COTS Module Processor, Memory and general Interface Technology delivered by COTS Customer Applicationboard 20% to 40% flexible Design for perfect fit. Resources and design focus on Application Know How and Core Competence.

6 Modular Design Benefits Faster Development Time Processor core board (COTS) already ready and tested Majority of the hardware design is available prior to the project start Carrier / application board more simple and can be developed faster Reference designs available and tested on development board / starterkit Software development can start from beginning on target platform Performance test can be done before final prototype is ready Customer Benefit = Time-to-Market

7 Modular Design Benefits Cost Saving Development cost only for carrier / application board Carrier / application board less layer (COTS = 10 to 12, Carrier = 6 to 10) Using additional feature elements that have already been tested Lower risk for respin need, product ready after first shot Lower risk for redesign during life cycle Lower investment for development means lower interest cost Reuse same COTS and design knowlege in other products (higher qty.) Customer Benefit = Lower Product Cost

8 Modular Design Benefits Minimize Risk Lower design risk by more simple carrier / application board design By using tried and tested elements, get the design right first time Lower risk for redesign during life cycle, due to more simple carrier board design (redesign risk mainly on COTS board) Better chance to meet the planned market entry date Lower investment risk by lower investment cost Customer Benefit = Confidence

9 Modular Design Benefits Reduce Complexity Be able to design and manage the technology Be able to manufacture the product Design more simple carrier / application board Benefit from design knowledge of COTS vendor COTS vendor has the expertise to deal with high speed design and multiprocessor Customer Benefit = Confidence / lower Cost

10 COTS Selection How to select the right COTS vendor by Application by Processor (Consumer / Industrial = Longevity) by Dimension by Memory System (Consumer / Industrial) by Connector System No. of Pins (all Signals available?) Pitch Robust System (Schock / Vibration) Current / Transfer Speed by other Specification by Vendor behind (healthy, stable in the market, confident)

11 COTS Selection The ideal COTS Complete, independant system All necessary functions on board (DC supply, Sequenzing, others) Maximum integration (Memory Size) Maximum Safety (Temperature & Power Control) Single DC supply All processor functions available on connector Maximum robustness (Robust Connector System, Industrial Design) Minimum board size Build in Boot Mechanism Long time availability (> 10 Years, Lifecycle-Management) Starterkit available Design support & schematic review

12 COTS Selection The ideal COTS TQMP2020 With P2020, P1021, P1020, P2010, P1012 or P1011 processor Up to 2 GB DDR3-SDRAM with ECC Up to 128 MB NOR-Flash 3.3 VDC single supply All processor signals available on connector 360 Pin, 0.8 mm pitch Only 74 mm x 54 mm Available in extended temperature range Long term available (> 10 years) Starterkit available

13 COTS Selection The ideal COTS TQMa28 With i.mx287 and i.mx283 processor Up to 256 MB DDR2-SDRAM Up to 32 GB emmc-flash 5 VDC single supply All processor signals available on connector 160 Pin, 0.8 mm pitch Only 40 mm x 26 mm Available in extended temperature range Long term available (> 10 years) Starterkit available
