EP-200Q-CB Overview

What is the EP-200Q-CB?

The EP-200Q-CB is the edge card form-factor SoM using the EP-200Q. It integrates the SX-PCEBE, Silex's Wi-Fi 7 station module, together with the QPS615, PCI Express bridge, to enable Ethernet interfaces and additional PCI Express buses. In addition to two MIPI interfaces through the edge connector, the EP-200Q-CB features additional three connectors for MIPI CSI interfaces.

This is the solution to quickly enable a high-performance Wi-Fi connected Edge device with on-device AI capability.

Benefits of the EP-200Q-CB

Reliable Wi-fi, Seamless Integration

The EP-200Q-CB System-on-Module is designed to power embedded devices that demand high-performance processing and reliable Wi-Fi connectivity. This all-in-one solution simplifies system design by combining robust hardware with Silex’s proven SDK, including pre-integrated Wi-Fi drivers. Developers no longer need to worry about sourcing and integrating third-party drivers, the EP-200Q-CB has it all built-in..

Focus on What Matters:  Your Application

By offloading the complexity of Wi-Fi driver management, the EP-200Q-CB lets you concentrate on building your core application. Silex continuously maintains and updates the Wi-Fi driver and related components throughout the product lifecycle. Any necessary updates are seamlessly rolled into the SDK, ensuring your device stays current and secure with minimal effort.

Built-in Ethernet Support with TSN Capability

For applications requiring wired connectivity, the EP-200Q-CB comes equipped with an integrated Ethernet PHY and MII interface. Enabled via the QPS615, the Ethernet port is Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) capable, making it ideal for applications that require predictable, real-time communication over Ethernet, such as industrial automation and robotics.

The EP-200Q-CB integrates necessary components to  enable Ethernet interfaces. The Ethernet port enabled by QPS615 is TSN capable Ethernet port so that it can be used for applications which requires predictable and real-time data communication over the Ethernet.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Applications

The versatility of the EP-200Q-CB makes it a perfect fit for a broad range of embedded use cases, including:

• Vision guided robots
• Smart cameras with or without edge AI processing
  • visual inspection in factories and warehouses
  • ambient monitoring in healthcare facilities, office buildings, and industrial settings
  • human safety monitoring in construction sites and warehouses
• Drones for logistics, inspection or surveillance
  • inventory management in warehouses
• Industrial handheld devices
• Video conferencing systems
• Middle-end edge computer or mid-tier edge computing devices?
• Retail Kiosks and Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminals
