Description

The Compute Module 3 contains the guts of a Raspberry Pi 3 (the BCM2837 processor and 1GB RAM) as well as an optional 4GB eMMC Flash device (which is the equivalent of the SD card in the Pi). The Pi 3 has a processor speed of 1.2GHz and runs at roughly 10 times the speed of the Pi 1 due to its quad-core CPU. This is all integrated on to a small 67.6mm x 31mm board which fits into a standard DDR2 SODIMM connector (the same type of connector as used for laptop memory).

The Flash memory is connected directly to the processor on the board, but the remaining processor interfaces are available to the user via the connector pins. You get the full flexibility of the BCM2837 SoC (which means that many more GPIOs and interfaces are available as compared to the Raspberry Pi), and designing the Module into a custom system should be relatively straightforward as we’ve put all the tricky bits onto the Module itself.

Features:

1. Processor: The module is based on the Broadcom BCM2837 processor, which includes a 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 CPU clocked at 1.2GHz.
2. Memory: The module includes 1GB of LPDDR2 RAM and a 4GB eMMC flash memory module for storage.
3. Form factor: The CM3 module measures just 67.6mm x 31mm and has a standard DDR2 SODIMM connector.
4. I/O interfaces: The module includes two 100-pin expansion headers that provide access to a wide range of I/O interfaces, including USB, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, and GPIO.
5. Operating temperature range: The CM3 is designed to operate in a range of environments, with a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C.
6. Power input: The module supports a range of power input voltages, from 5V to 20V DC.
7. Flexibility: The CM3 is a flexible computing platform that offers a great balance of performance, power consumption, and ease of integration, making it a popular choice for a wide range of embedded systems and other applications.
