Your Design Phase: Development

How PHYTEC Can Help

Don't spend weeks in specification, parts procurement, complex schematic rendering and layout of your own microprocessor circuitry.  Also forgo the need to build and test prototypes, followed by redesign iterations needed to yield production-ready hardware.  Purchase our commercial, off-the-shelf SOM subassemblies instead and let PHYTEC handle complex design issues, saving you time and money while reducing your opportunity costs and design risk.

"Portable" Processor Core: The COTS Advantage

PHYTEC SOMs are the core component in Rapid Development Kits. Following start-up of kit hardware and development of application code, the SOM can be removed from the Carrier Board and designed like a "big chip" into prototypes, pre-production units and OEM products... making full use of its modularity and compact form factor.

The Carrier Board also serves as a reference design for development of your own target hardware in which the phyCORE SOM is deployed. Schematics with BoM are available under a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Build our industry-proven, pre-tested SOM subassemblies into your target circuitry; interfacing to required peripherals according to your I/O, dimensional and physical interface requirements.

Make -or- Buy

Applying the principle of cost accounting, the actual cost of a development is not limited to direct material, but must include the cost and time needed for parts procurement, design, production, test, software and operating system adaptation, as well as support.

Development issues and associated costs do not end with the manufacture of your microprocessor circuitry.  Test, support, warranty and maintenance are downstream issues that also must be considered.  Implementation of a PHYTEC System on Module removes these costs and risks from your design cycle.

Beyond the SOM

PHYTEC offers additional design services beyond COTS SOMs and Carrier Board reference designs:

  • design and manufacture of a custom carrier board for your end application
  • development and manufacture of a "flat" board design in which our microprocessor circuitry is integrated onto a single PCB, rather than a two PCB solution consisting of an off-shelf PHYTEC module on a Carrier Board

For very high volumes, discuss with us a one-time, royalty-free design license buy-out of PHYTEC SOM circuitry, in the form of schematic and Bill of Material, for unrestricted use in your own embedded hardware development.

In-house production

We manufacture at our own facilities. Your benefits: Quality, flexibility and optimum cost structure.
