System in Packages and System on Modules

Integrated Solutions to Simplify Designs and Speed Up Development


If you’re interested in using one of our microprocessors (MPUs) but the more complex hardware design of these devices raises concerns, our Arm® processor-based System in Package (SiP) or System on Module (SOM) is your solution. Even developers with expertise in the design of an industrial-grade microprocessor (MPU)-based system spend a lot of time on PCB layout to guarantee signal integrity for the high-speed interfaces, DDR memories and Ethernet Physical Layers (PHYs) of MPUs while trying to comply with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards.

SiP and SOM Products


System in Package

System in Packages (SiPs)

SiPs integrate SDRAM, DDRx or LPDDRx memory and an MPU, removing the high-speed memory interface constraints from the PCB and reducing its size. Some of our SiPs include an optional TA100 secure element.

Key Benefits

  • Simplifies PCB design
  • 64 Mb to 4 Gb memory size options 
  • Smallest footprint
  • Supports RTOS and Linux® OS
  • Reduces your supplier list

System on Modules

A SOM takes it a step further by integrating power management, an Ethernet PHY, nonvolatile boot memory and an optional wireless module on a small PCB. A SOM offers single-supply and standard surface-mount manufacturing technology, similar to a QFP package, and can even be hand soldered during initial prototyping. They are supported by our MPLAB® development ecosystem for bare metal, RTOS-based embedded systems and the Linux® OS environment.

Key Benefits

  • Low-cost assembly
  • Mainlined Linux distribution
  • Customer-driven obsolescence
  • Qualified for production use
  • Single power rail
