The use of processor modules in instrumentation has led to simplifying and unifying of circuitry. It has become easier for developers to select the basis for new devices and, consequently, the release of products to the market has accelerated.
Processor modules, due to their diversity and versatility, have found their application in many industries:
production
automation systems
medicine
military-industrial complex
avionics
power engineering
testing and measurement
Functional Features of Processor Modules and CPU Boards
The processor modules are divided into types ETX, COM-Express, QSeven, SOM, uProcessor and are distinguished by their performance, low power consumption and heat dissipation, as they are designed for embedded applications where the heat removal tasks inside a compact case are critical when choosing a module type.
