Strategic Test TX-28S i.MX283 Computer on Module
Strategic Test introduced their TX-28S Computer-on-Module. The TX-28S system-on-module is based on the 454 MHz Freescale i.MX283 processor. It features 64 MByte DDR2 SDRAM, 128 MByte NAND flash memory, and 200-pin SODIMM connector. The TX-28S is ideal for embedded fanless applications where low-price, small-size and low-power consumption are critical factors. The TX28S module is priced at $49 each in 10k quantities. A hardware reference platform, the Development Kit-5, is also available. The Development Kit-5 is priced at $999.

The TX-28S Computer-on-Module can be used in new product designs and reduce the costs of designing computer subsystem and customizing Linux or Windows CE. The TX-28S is pin compatible with all Strategic Test’s existing Freescale processor-based modules that use the i.MX257, i.MX27, i.MX287, i.MX515, i.MX535 and i.MX537. In addition, the Freescale Longevity Program guarantees a long-term availability of 7 years.
