Computer Modules

The TX SODIMM module family from Ka-Ro Electronics delivers powerful, reliable embedded computing in a compact, industry-standard form factor. Based on the SODIMM 200-pin connector, TX modules offer easy integration, fast prototyping, and simple upgrade paths—ideal for both development and production environments.
With plug-and-play flexibility, the TX family supports rapid proof-of-concept work and simplifies design changes, all while maintaining long-term availability. The standardized SODIMM format enables low-cost baseboard design, easy handling, and straightforward replacement, making it a smart choice for highly scalable, cost-effective solutions.
Take advantage of a stable and proven platform that helps you lower development risk, shorten your time to market, and focus on your core business.

Scalability

Often, devices are required in different performance and price classes. This is where the TX standard comes into its own. With one single hardware design, embedded engineers can produce a range of pin- and software- compatible products. With one single development kit,  all TX modules are supported, demonstrating CoM scalability.

Reduce to the Max

The philosophy behind the TX CoM familiy is to reduce a CoM down to the absolute minimum of components. In doing so, application designers and hardware engineers using the CoMs can achieve maximum flexibility. TX CoM modules solely feature the processor plus memory and power supply. Any additional functions and peripherals can be added to the base board.

Longevity

This focus of CoMs with minimum number of components is on the one hand key to the very competitive pricing and on the other hand it enables  us to ensure long-term availability. While processor manufacturers mostly offer a long-term availability of 10 to 15 years, this must also apply to any other component integrated into the module, or these must be available through a second source and without any software alterations. The more components integrated into the module, as is the case with with many other manufacturers, this long-term availability with unaltered functionality is at risk, or simple cannot be guaranteed.
