The IC-ARM-VPX3c is a low-power 3U VPX Single Board Computer (SBC) ideal for use in sensor systems, as well as applications needing high multi-threaded performance (target tracking or C4ISR). The IC-ARM-VPX3c is based on a NXP Layerscape® LX2080A/LX2160A multicore communication processor featuring 16 Arm® Cortex®-A72 cores. Layerscape LX2 family provides an excellent efficiency/Thermal Design Power (TDP) ratio with dissipated power as low as 30W for LX2080A and up to 45W for LX2160A. With its hardware accelerator and large caches, this SBC provides outstanding computing performance with powerful packet processing offload and Ethernet controllers.
