Powered by XILINX Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA

System-on-module with NXP i.MX8 processor and XILINX Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA.

High-speed LPDDR4 Memory

CATO integrates technologies such as LPDDR4 memories, eMMC and GbE. It can be used for a wide range of IoT edge computing applications, including machine vision/industrial network communications.

Ideal for a wide range of applications

In addition, unlike other CPU modules, the high-speed large-scale FPGA can be used for all kinds of applications from legacy to high-end, such as replacement of existing assets by IP, high-speed data converters, and neural networks.
