TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Variscite, a global leader in System on Module (SoM) design and manufacturing and an NXP\u00ae Semiconductors Platinum Partner, today announced the upcoming launch of the VAR-SMARC-MX95<\/a>. Based on NXP's i.MX 95 applications processor, this new SMARC-compatible SoM provides a scalable foundation for industrial IoT and edge AI applications.<\/p>

\nThe VAR-SMARC-MX95 addresses the growing demand for safety-critical, AI-enabled industrial systems. It will feature up to six Arm\u00ae Cortex\u00ae-A55 cores running up to 2.0 GHz, complemented by dedicated Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M33 real-time co-processors for deterministic control tasks. The integrated eIQ\u00ae Neutron Neural Processing Unit (NPU) will deliver 2 TOPS (8 eTOPS) of AI acceleration for efficient machine learning inference at the edge. A next-generation NXP Image Signal Processor (ISP) with dual MIPI CSI-2 interfaces will further support advanced vision capabilities, enabling smart camera systems, object detection, and vision-based inspection applications. An independent Safety Island architecture will support functional safety requirements, making the VAR-SMARC-MX95 ideal for applications such as industrial automation, medical imaging, building management systems, and energy infrastructure applications.<\/p>

\nThe SoM will be available in three variants, integrating NXP's IW610, IW611 or IW612 tri-radio wireless solutions, providing comprehensive connectivity for industrial and IoT deployments. The chipsets deliver Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for high-throughput data transfer, Bluetooth for reliable short-range connectivity, and 802.15.4 support for Thread and Zigbee protocols. Native Matter protocol support enables seamless communication across smart building, industrial, and edge computing ecosystems, while WPA3 and chipset-level secure boot ensure encrypted, authenticated communication for connected systems.<\/p>

\nThe VAR-SMARC family<\/a>, which includes the VAR-SMARC-MX8M-PLUS<\/a> powered by NXP's i.MX 8M Plus applications processor, features an on-module Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chip with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance, making Variscite the only SMARC vendor offering this security standard. Combined with NXP's processor-level secure boot and cryptographic acceleration, these features address EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements while protecting sensitive data and encryption keys.<\/p>

\n\u201cThe collaboration between Variscite and NXP on our SMARC-standard SoM family demonstrates our shared commitment to simplifying embedded development while delivering AI-enabled, standards-compliant solutions with advanced capabilities,\" said Ofer Austerlitz, VP Business Development and Sales at Variscite. \"The VAR-SMARC-MX95 will bring NXP's latest processing and AI technologies to the standardized SMARC form factor. <\/strong>Equally important, Variscite\u2019s in-house manufacturing maintains tight control over production scheduling and quality validation, ensuring stable lead times and availability to its SMARC customers even when the semiconductor market is volatile.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cBy combining NXP's latest i.MX applications processors with Variscite's robust SMARC platforms, customers get a jumpstart on building secure, AI-enabled industrial and IoT solutions,\u201d said Amanda McGregor, Senior Director of Product Management at NXP Semiconductors. \u201cThe i.MX 95 delivers high-performance compute, dedicated real-time domains, and integrated AI acceleration on Variscite's scalable SMARC platform.\u201d<\/p>
