Moving to production, your system will usually consist of a baseboard on which the SwiftModule is mounted. This may be as simple as a breakout to provide connectors for the interfaces in use, or may contain additional active circuitry to complete your system.
There are three routes to successful baseboard implementation:
- specify your system, and have us create your baseboard for you. This is a quick, reliable, and cost-effective route at any production volume from a handful to tens of thousands
- use the supplied baseboard schematics and reference information
to create your own baseboard. Because all the high-speed, high-density
electronics is on the module, a simple two-sided design will usually
suffice, and copying the SwiftKit or SwiftLite design is all that is
required.
- talk to us about SwiftLite off-the-shelf baseboards - ready made baseboards which are built to accommodate typical interface scenarios.
What's on the baseboard?
 Most interfaces are achieved simply by adding the required connector. This category includes:
- USB Device
- USB Host
- SD Card
- CompactFlash (minor external logic required)
- Audio in/out
- Ethernet (magnetics required)
- SSP / SPI
- One-wire
- I2C
- Touch
- LCD (excluding backlight)
- UARTs (3.3v)
 Other interfaces require active circuitry to be copied from the baseboard:
- RS232 buffers
- VGA out
- LVDS controller
- LCD backlight (depending on LCD used)
- Power supply - including voltages required by various I/O
- Battery management
Further interfaces are available as reference designs (contact us for details):
- Analog-to-Digital
- GPRS modem
- CAN controller
- GPS module
SwiftLite Speedy-Baseboard System
For straightforward baseboard requirements, we can offer a standard
form-factor baseboard based on the SwiftLite-PX board which we populate
according to your requirements. This has the advantage of rapid turnaround,
and is reasonably priced as the SwiftLite board is a standard item. Simply
let us know which of the following interfaces are required, and the quantity,
and we can provide an instant quotation.
- Please specify PSU input voltage
- SD Card
- Ethernet
- Audio
- VGA out
- Direct display (please specify size, type, resolution)
- LVDS
- Touch
- RS232
- USB (up to 2x Host, 1x Device)
