SMARC 2.0 modules support USB-C

congatec further standardizes interface setup for SMARC 2.0

Our partner congatec – a leading technology company for embedded computer modules, single board computers and embedded design and manufacturing services – introduces new SMARC 2.0 modules supporting powerful USB C connectivity at Embedded World (hall 1, stand 358) today. The utilization of the USB-C specification makes USB interconnects even more universally applicable, further standardizing the interface setup of SMARC 2.0 based embedded devices. System designers can use USB C for standard peripherals from USB 3.1 to USB 1.0 and – a brand new option – for connecting displays or even the power supply to the system or peripheral devices, reducing cabling efforts to a single cable. In addition, the current data throughput of up to 5 Gigabit/s in line with the USB 3.1 specification serves as a turbo charger for data intensive applications. Continue reading
