Micro System-on-Module (SOM) Market

Introduction

A system on module (SOM) or computer on module (COM) is a complete chip on a single printed circuit board containing elements such as RAM, clock, Ethernet, microprocessor, I/O controllers and flash memory. It is a subtype of embedded computer system. Micro system-on-module (SOM) is a smaller version of the system on module based on Intel’s Braswell architecture, which is built around a carrier board that adheres all the ports essential in any tiniest personal computer.

The size of the Micro system-on-module (SOM) range from 52.8mm to 40mm. They are the global product that serves a broad variety of uses beginning from a calculator to engineering controls to space technology. Presently, above 2 billion microsystems on the module are mass produced every single year.

Micro System-on-Module (SOM) Market: Market Dynamics and Restraints

Microchips and integrated circuits have transformed industrial automation. Practicing micro system-on-module (SOM)  provides flexibility to perform hardware and software development activity parallel, this is why, it is widely preferred by companies such as Motorola, SUN Microsystems, Xerox, IBM, and DEC in their Blade computers.

Other properties such as; cost saving, variety in CPU choices, reduced client design requirements, a small footprint are other qualities which propel micro system-on-module (SOM) market globally.

The latest trend accepted by industries are an implementation of the multicore processor. Previously, microcontrollers were commonly used in industrial implanted systems including industrial process control, actuators, robotics, and sensors.

Though, industrial technology has progressed and include multiple capabilities such as wireless connectivity, smart sensors, imaging; this has boosted the demand for advanced and efficient systems. Therefore, manufacturers are offering single chips with multiple cores to improve applications, escalate reliability, decrease power consumption, and reduce full functioning costs.

Although demand and necessity of micro system-on-module (SOM) in the market can be seen significantly, the high development cost of industrial embedded systems hinders the market growth to a certain extent.
