TM3

Description

TM3 offers high performance, low power in a tiny module which can be readily incorporated into the most demanding embedded applications.

High Performance

The TM3 features quad core ARM A53 processing with a flexible clocking scheme up to 1.4GHz. This makes the TM3 suitable for running demanding applications on high level operating systems like Ubuntu Linux, Buildroot, BalenaOS and Android 9.

Extensive flexible interfaces.

TM3 offers an incredible balance of legacy and modern interfaces such as GPIO, RS232/485, USB2.0 and 3.0 and PCIe, enabling integration into almost any target application. The 50-way expansion header supports audio, GPIO and digital expansion via I2C and SPI to provide simple development and assembly of application specific expansion boards. e.g. CANBUS, temperature or air quality sensors, etc.

Universal connectivity

The TM3 is ideal for IoT products. It provides Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g 2.4Ghz), BLE 5.0) and Ethernet, and when combined with a suitable host board such as HB8/9 the M.2 and SIM card interface can support 2G, 3G, 4G & 5G modems as well as LTE CAT-M1, NB-IoT and GNSS devices.

Low Cost

The TM3 is designed to be low cost and be a true embedded platform with long life. TM3 uses high reliability connectors to connect to your host board. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is implemented to reduce the cost of R&TTE testing. Typically only a four layer PCB is required for the carrier board thereby keeping the cost of your product as low as possible.

Long Life

The TM3 processor is intended to be available for at least 10 years, and Blue Chip Technology have a long history of supporting their hardware and OS platforms for many years

Small Form Factor

Measuring just 42mm x 30mm x 5.3 mm the TM3 is incredibly small and easy to integrate into the tightest enclosures.

User interaction

TM3 supports a wide variety of LCD sizes and both capacitive and resistive touch applications. If you are interested in a solution integrated with LCD, Touch panel and bezel please check out HB8/9 and LCDs for the TM3 in our Beta section.

HB8 and 9 also offer a HDMI output which can be combined with a LCD in Linux it also support dual independent screen operation.
