Germany-based Ka-Ro Electronics\u2019 QS93 and QS95 are compact solder-down computer-on-modules based on NXP i.MX 9 application processors. The QS93 combines dual Cortex-A55 cores with an Arm Ethos-U65 microNPU in a 27mm-square package, while the QS95 uses six Cortex-A55 cores, a 2-TOPS NPU, additional multimedia interfaces, and PCIe connectivity.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/h3>\n

The QS93 is based on the NXP i.MX 9352 processor, which includes two Arm Cortex-A55 application cores running at up to 1.7GHz and a 250MHz Cortex-M33 core for real-time processing. The processor also integrates an Arm Ethos-U65 microNPU and NXP\u2019s EdgeLock secure enclave.<\/p>\n

The module includes 1GB of LPDDR4 memory, 4GB of eMMC storage, and 2MB of NOR flash. Display support consists of an LVDS interface and a 2D graphics engine for composition, resizing, and color-space conversion. A two-lane MIPI-CSI interface is available for camera connectivity.<\/p>\n

Networking\u00a0and expansion interfaces include two RGMII Gigabit Ethernet connections, two USB 2.0 ports with integrated PHYs, two CAN-FD interfaces, and an SD\/eMMC interface. Additional I\/O consists of five UARTs, seven I2C buses, four SPI interfaces, six PWM channels, SAI, and up to 60 GPIOs.<\/p>\n

The QS93 measures 27 \u00d7 27mm and uses a QFN-style footprint with 100 contacts on a 1mm pitch. A large ground pad beneath the module provides a signal-return path and transfers heat to the carrier board. The single-sided module operates from a 3.3V supply and is rated for temperatures from -40\u00b0C to 85\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Ka-Ro\u00a0also lists a socketed QS93 configuration measuring 33mm square. This version uses two 80-pin connectors and can be secured with screws, although the company notes compatibility restrictions with some earlier QSBASE carrier boards.<\/p>\n

For development, Ka-Ro offers the QSBASE93 evaluation kit, a 56 \u00d7 85mm carrier board supplied with the QS93 module….<\/p>\n
