TOR’S CHOICE RASPBERRY PI3COMPUTMPUTE MODULEFOR
RYPI 3 COMPU MUTEMODULE FOR INDUSTR 3, CM3 incorporates a 64-bit
Raspberry Pi Compute Module (CM3), based on the Raspberry Pi 3 architecture has now been released. The new CM3 fits into a standard DDR2 SODIMMsocket and provides the same basic processing
T
capabilities as the Raspberry Pi 3. In common with the Raspberry Pi
he latest version of the
BroadcomBCM2837 application processor, built around an ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core processor running at up to 1.2GHz, and 1GB of LPDDR2 RAM. It provides 4GB of on-board eMMC Flash storage, and retains an identical pin-out to the original Compute Module (CM1). Available fromRs Components and Allied Electronics, along with the new low-cost Raspberry Pi 3 Compute Module Lite (CM3L). This includes the BCM2837 application processor and 1GB RAM, but has no on-board Flash storage. It is
possible to include an eMMC device or SD card socket on an
application-specific base board. This latest release is designed for
DUSTRIAL APPLICAT integration into industrial-type
TRIALAP RIALAPPLICA ATI NSATIONS
applications. One example is the range of next-generation large- format displays fromNEC.
These integrate a socket for an optional Raspberry Pi 3 C Module, and are ideal for
brightly lit ompute
public spaces such as schools, offices, shops and railway stations. This latest module can also be
purchased as part of a development kit, bundled together with the Compute Module IO Board. This development board brings out all of the IO connectivity of CM1, CM3 or CM3L to pin headers and flexi connectors, and allows the
developer to programon-board eMMC Flash over USB.

edfo AUTOMOTIVE CHIPSETS THAT SUPPORT FUNCTIONAL SAFETY IN HI-RES
Rohm and Lapis Semiconductor have designed chipsets to drive and control automotive LCDs, including larger high resolution monitors used for navigation and the instrument cluster. In recent years the adoption of LCDs in vehicles for the
instrument cluster, navigation, electronic mirrors, and other systems has risen significantly, while the growing number of applications has increased the demand for larger, higher resolution displays. To achieve these needs, it is necessary to increase the number of driver and controller channels. However, this makes system configuration and operation verification more difficult,
strengthening the demand for chipset solutions. In addition, in applications such as electronic mirrors where malfunctions can lead to serious accidents functional safety is required. Rohm’s new chipsets integrate a gamma correction IC, timing controller (T-CON), source driver, and gate
driver for driving HD/FHD class displays (the highest resolution currently on the market), along with a power management IC (PMIC) to ensure optimum drive operation. Each IC is designed to share information as needed, achieving automotive-grade reliability and marking the first time functional safety was successfully introduced in devices for displays, the company claims. Compatibility with LCDs for side mirrors and speedometers that can lead to accidents is also provided. In addition, chipset optimisation allowed Rohm to cover a wide range of specifications while at the same
time integrating a Fail detection function in the timing controller to verify operation, making it possible to configure high resolution LCD panels.
