ReFLEX CES Vulcan System-on-Modules (SOMs)

ReFLEX CES Vulcan System-on-Modules (SoMs) are available in two versions: with a Versal™ Prime or an AI Edge FPGA System-on-Chip (SoC). This versatile platform combines artificial intelligence (AI) processing, advanced connectivity, and optimized performance, ideal for designing and deploying complex algorithms while integrating multiple functions on a single chip. The SOMs offer lower power consumption, enhanced system performance, and next-generation technology capabilities.

These ReFLEX CES SoMs are delivered with an active heatsink, complete with a heat spreader and fan, specifically tailored for embedded applications. Leveraging a SoM for a user's embedded system accelerates the design process and reduces time-to-market by offering pre-built, rigorously tested components for seamless system integration.

Target applications include bioscience/instrumentation, quantum computing, AI vision analytics, embedded airborne systems, radar systems, and military. The Vulcan Versal SoMs are fully compatible with the Vulcan carrier board, providing a complete and robust development solution.
