This adherence to standards aims to simplify the development process. To achieve the intended processing capacity, the module also supports the Quadra Flow Cooling System (QFCS), ensuring that it does not suffer thermal throttling when operating at 45W at 60°C, thus guaranteeing a consistently high performance level of 100%. Furthermore, a radiation-optimized solution can be integrated into the QFCS to stabilize the output and reduce noise interference in medical imaging applications or testing equipment.
The SOM-6884 incorporates the most advanced Iris® Xe controller, with 96 EUs in its graphics units and support for up to four independent displays with resolutions up to 8K. This capability enables the processing of large amounts of complex image data and delivers superior image quality. As a result, the SOM-6884 module is used in applications such as ultrasound, endoscopy, surgical robots, stereo video for 3D construction, and broadcasting equipment.
The SOM-6884 module also provides two high-bandwidth PCIe Gen4 interfaces (one x8 and one x4 at speeds up to 16 GT/s). These interfaces can further enhance computing capabilities for image and video processing with external graphics cards, digital I/O, additional relay cards, and FPGAs. This advanced configuration offers the flexibility and increased performance required for machine vision and automation applications.
High-speed PCIe interfaces also increase efficiency by allowing test equipment devices to handle a larger number of devices under test (DUT) simultaneously.
The QFCS (Quadro Flow Cooling System) for the SOM-6884 ensures noise levels remain below 38dB at 45W while maintaining 100% performance, even at an ambient temperature of 60°C. Its low profile of only 26.9mm makes it an ideal solution for achieving optimal performance in confined spaces.
Along with heat dissipation, radiation can be a source of EMI noise in medical and machine vision imaging equipment. This can be further amplified by powerful fan motors. Advantech's radiation-optimized design and service approach focuses on the concept of isolation and allows customer developers to incorporate specialized absorbers under the SOM-6884. With this design, the radiation-optimized solution can effectively block radiation leakage and facilitate radiation removal through improved grounding. This tailored design and service enables customers to overcome challenges related to heat, acoustics, and EMI noise.
