miriac® MPX-LX2160A system-on-module

High-end 16-core communications powerhouse based on NXP QorIQ LX2160A

MPX-LS2160A moduleDesigned in Germany by our partner MicroSys, the MPX-LX2160A SoM is a high performance server-class module featuring extensive Ethernet and PCIe connectivity, based on a 16-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, and a total of 24 configurable SerDes lanes.

  • 16ARM Cortex-A72 cores for 64-bit processing at up to 2.2GHz
  • 2x DDR4 controllers with up to 128GB 64-bit DDR4 ECC RAM
  • 24 SerDes lanes (PCIe Gen3 x8, 100 GbE/40 GbE/25 GbE/10 GbE, SATA)

The Miriac MPX-LX2160A SoM allows OEMs to integrate the processor in low or medium volume, or NPI applications, bypassing the significant time and cost penalty associated with SoC integration, by providing ready-made hardware with associated BSPs, initially for Linux, and with others such as QNX and VXWorks in development. A simple customer baseboard – developed by the customer or by us – is all that is required to complete the project. Highly network-intensive applications include servers, medical scanners, software-defined vehicles and many other applications.

Miriac MPX-LX2160A has two high-speed/high-density open-pin-field connectors from Samtec, each with 400pins. The module measures 155mm x 110mm, and is powered by a single 5-12v supply. Typical power consumption is 25W. The module is available in both commercial and full industrial (-40C to +85C) temperature grades.

A development kit baseboard is available. See the Development Kits tab below for further details.

Software support includes Linux as standard, with other BSPs including VXWorks on request.
