Variscite will be launching a new SMARC-compatible system on module (SoM) integrating NXP Semiconductors\u2019 i.MX 95 applications processor.<\/p>\n

The VAR-SMARC-MX95 provides a scalable foundation for industrial IoT and edge AI applications, addressing the growing demand for safety-critical, AI-enabled industrial systems. It will feature up to six Arm Cortex-A55 cores running up to 2GHz, complemented by dedicated Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M33 real-time co-processors for deterministic control tasks. The integrated eIQ Neutron Neural Processing Unit (NPU) will deliver 2 TOPS (8 eTOPS) of AI acceleration for efficient machine learning inference at the edge. A next-generation NXP Image Signal Processor (ISP) with dual MIPI CSI-2 interfaces will further support advanced vision capabilities, enabling smart camera systems, object detection, and vision-based inspection applications. An independent Safety Island architecture will support functional safety requirements, making the VAR-SMARC-MX95 ideal for applications such as industrial automation, medical imaging, building management systems, and energy infrastructure applications.<\/p>\n

The SoM will be available in three variants, integrating NXP\u2019s IW610, IW611 or IW612 tri-radio wireless solutions, providing comprehensive connectivity for industrial and IoT deployments. The chipsets deliver Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for high-throughput data transfer, Bluetooth for reliable short-range connectivity, and 802.15.4 support for Thread and Zigbee protocols. Native Matter protocol support enables seamless communication across smart building, industrial, and edge computing ecosystems, while WPA3 and chipset-level secure boot ensure encrypted, authenticated communication for connected systems.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0VAR-SMARC family, which includes the\u00a0VAR-SMARC-MX8M-PLUS\u00a0powered by NXP\u2019s i.MX 8M Plus applications processor, features an on-module Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chip with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance, making Variscite the only SMARC vendor offering this security standard. Combined with NXP\u2019s processor-level secure boot and cryptographic acceleration, these features address EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements while protecting sensitive data and encryption keys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe collaboration between Variscite and NXP on our SMARC-standard SoM family demonstrates our shared commitment to simplifying embedded development while delivering AI-enabled, standards-compliant solutions with advanced capabilities,\u201d said Ofer Austerlitz, VP Business Development and Sales at Variscite. \u201cThe VAR-SMARC-MX95 will bring NXP\u2019s latest processing and AI technologies to the standardized SMARC form factor.\u00a0Equally important, Variscite\u2019s in-house manufacturing maintains tight control over production scheduling and quality validation, ensuring stable lead times and availability to its SMARC customers even when the semiconductor market is volatile.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining NXP\u2019s latest i.MX applications processors with Variscite\u2019s robust SMARC platforms, customers get a jumpstart on building secure, AI-enabled industrial and IoT solutions,\u201d said Amanda McGregor, Senior Director of Product Management at NXP Semiconductors. \u201cThe i.MX 95 delivers high-performance compute, dedicated real-time domains, and integrated AI acceleration on Variscite\u2019s scalable SMARC platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
