Avnet
Electronics Marketing, an operating group of Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
today released the Industrial MicroZed™ System-on-Module (SOM), the
MicroZed Cost-Optimized (CO) SOM and the MicroZed Single Board Computer
(SBC). This expands on the existing MicroZed portfolio, which previously
consisted of MicroZed 7010 and MicroZed 7020 SOMs, as well as the
MicroZed 7010 Evaluation Kit. The evaluation kit targets new users and
includes additional licensing, documentation and tutorials. The
remainder of the MicroZed portfolio is intended to be designed into
developers’ final products.

#Zynq-7000 SoC http://www.microzed.org
All boards in the MicroZed portfolio are based on the Xilinx® Zynq®-7000
All Programmable SoC. The Industrial MicroZed consists of both 7010 and
7020 versions and is designed for safe and reliable operation under
extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C). The MicroZed CO SOM is based on
the original MicroZed SOM and is optimized for exclusive usage with a
carrier. In contrast, the MicroZed SBC is designed to support standalone
operation, including the capability to self-power expansion connectors
for placement of application-specific expansion modules. Due to its
small form factor, MicroZed SBC is a great option for engineers
designing a small, Zynq-based embedded product. The MicroZed SBC is
offered in both 7010 and 7020 versions and targets both commercial and
extended temperature grades.
Target applications for MicroZed include general Zynq-7000 All
Programmable SoC evaluation and prototyping, embedded SOM applications,
embedded vision, test and measurement, motor control and
software-defined radio.
“MicroZed allows designers to start with a single platform and grow with
it as they progress in their SoC development and learning process,” said
Jim Beneke, vice president of global technical marketing for Avnet
Electronics Marketing. “By meeting industrial standards, MicroZed can be
used in weather stations, data loggers, airplanes, factory automation --
and many other applications that need to withstand harsh environments.
As an SBC, MicroZed can be adopted into compact embedded environments.”
