SomIQ-AM35 benefits:

• SomIQ-AM35 modules offer a wide range of industrial interfaces including Hi-End CAN controller.
• SomIQ modules are designed to increase reliability and MTBF because because they get heating less. Less heating means lower aging of components on modules. Modules are made on the strengthened printed-circuit boards with 1 oz copper thickness.
• SomIQ modules are pin-to-pin compatible throughout the family with minor differences because of different processor features.
