A Production-Ready Platform for Safe, Connected, and Reliable Embedded Applications

As industrial and healthcare devices become increasingly connected and intelligent, engineers face growing challenges when moving from proof-of-concept designs to production-ready systems. High-performance processing, functional safety, security, reliable connectivity, and long-term product support must all come together in a compact and dependable platform.

Silex’s EP-200N System-on-Module (SoM) helps simplify this development process by combining the performance of the NXP i.MX95 application processor with a pre-validated hardware and software platform designed for secure and connected embedded applications.

By leveraging Silex’s expertise as an NXP Gold Partner, engineers can accelerate development with a solution that provides the computing capabilities, connectivity options, and technical support needed to move from evaluation to production faster.

Built on the NXP i.MX95 Application Processor for Secure and Reliable Embedded Systems

Modern embedded systems require more than traditional processing capabilities. Applications such as industrial automation equipment, medical devices, robotics platforms, and intelligent edge systems require high-performance computing, real-time processing, security features, and reliable operation in demanding environments.

The EP-200N is powered by the NXP i.MX95 SoC, delivering high-performance embedded computing capabilities in a compact, surface-mount System-on-Module. The platform is engineered for secure and safe edge computing while helping streamline the development of connected devices for industrial and healthcare applications.

The EP-200N features a power-efficient Hexa-core ARM Cortex-A55 architecture, integrating a dedicated GPU, VPU, and ISP. For applications requiring intelligent processing, the integrated 2-TOPS NPU (8 eTOP effective) AI engine provides efficient neural processing capabilities for vision, sensor processing, and edge analytics applications.

This combination of processing performance, security capabilities, and intelligent processing enables developers to build reliable embedded systems capable of managing complex workloads closer to where data is generated.

Simplify Wireless Integration with NXP-Based Connectivity

Reliable wireless connectivity is a critical requirement for today’s industrial and healthcare applications. However, integrating wireless capabilities into embedded designs can introduce additional development complexity, including driver integration, RF validation, and testing.

The EP-200N helps reduce these challenges through flexible, pre-validated wireless connectivity options. The EP-200N Yocto Linux package includes Silex’s SX-SDMAX6E driver, which is fully validated to achieve reliable Wi-Fi connectivity. It can also support tri-band Wi-Fi connectivity through its PCI Express interface.

For Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, the EP-200N seamlessly integrates with the SX-SDMAX6E Wi-Fi 6E SDIO module, powered by the NXP IW623 chipset, enabling reliable, low-latency wireless connections.

The EP-200N is also designed to support upcoming NXP IW693-based wireless modules, providing additional flexibility for future wireless connectivity requirements.

This NXP-powered approach allows developers to create more integrated embedded solutions by combining the processing capabilities of the NXP i.MX95 platform with validated wireless connectivity options.

Designed for Industrial and Healthcare Applications

Embedded systems deployed in industrial and healthcare environments require dependable operation, flexible interfaces, and long-term reliability.

The EP-200N provides a heterogeneous computing architecture featuring Cortex-A55, Cortex-M7, and Cortex-M33 cores. The dedicated Cortex-M domains support real-time operations and safety-related tasks, helping enable deterministic performance for time-sensitive industrial and healthcare applications.

The compact SoM also provides extensive connectivity and expansion capabilities, including Ethernet, CAN-FD, PCIe, USB, SDIO, GPIO, and camera/display interfaces to support a wide range of embedded applications.

With support for advanced vision, intelligent processing, and connected applications, the EP-200N enables developers to create next-generation solutions including intelligent automation systems, robotics platforms, medical equipment, and secure connected edge devices.
