Octavo Systems Announces Texas Instruments AM62x-Based System-in-Package

 

Nuremberg, Germany (March 14, 2023) – Expanding on its history of delivering highly integrated System-in-Package (SiP) devices, Octavo Systems announced its OSD62x family of SiPs that help expand the performance of edge and small form factor embedded processing into next generation applications. The OSD62x family is based on the Texas Instruments (TI) AM623 and AM625 processors. The OSD62x enables small-size human-machine interface (HMI) applications for building automation, industrial control, IoT gateways, artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge, as well as many other low-power systems demanding high performance Linux processing. Delivering the smallest AM62x module form factor, the OSD62x SiP family integrates high-speed memory, power management, passive components, and much more into a single BGA package.

“The OSD62x is a powerful example of our commitment to deliver ‘Innovation through Integration.’ We are excited to offer our customers a TI AM62x-based solution that reduces solution sizes by 60% and enables designs to get to market up to 9 months faster,” said Harley Walsh, President at Octavo Systems.

Octavo Systems Releases the OSDZU3-REF Development Platform for the AMD-Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC System-in-Package.

 

Houston, Texas, United States (March 1, 2023) – Octavo Systems LLC, a leading provider of System-in-Package (SiP) solutions, has officially released its latest offering, the OSDZU3-REF Development Platform. This platform gives system designers a comprehensive development environment for evaluating, testing, and starting product development using the OSDZU3 System-in-Package (SiP).

Built around the AMD-Xilinx ZU3 Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, the OSDZU3 SiP integrates LPDDR4, a Flexible Power System, EEPROM, Oscillators, and hundreds of passive components into a compact 20.5mm x 40mm BGA.

The OSDZU3-REF platform features standard peripherals such as 1Gb Ethernet, USB-C, Display Port, and SATA, and provides expandability through PMOD headers, Mikroe Click™, standard 100Mil headers, and an FMC LPC Connector. It also features an Onboard µUSB JTAG debugger, a µUSB UART connection and access to both SYSMON and PMBUS through standard 100mil connectors.

Octavo Systems leveraged the integration provided by the OSDZU3 SiP to create the OSDZU3-REF using just four PCB layers with low-cost design rules. “The OSDZU3-REF highlights the benefits of using an Octavo SiP to simplify and reduce the cost of your system, “says Erik Welsh, CTO of Octavo Systems. “Without the OSDZU3 SiP, this reference platform would need 8 to 12 layers with much more complex design rules to support the AMD-Xilinx MPSoC, the power system, and the LPDDR4.” (Read More…)

Five Years in the Making

Octavo Systems 5 Years Delivering SiP Solution

Introduction

Octavo Systems recently celebrated our fifth year in business! It has been an amazing time for us as we have utilized the concepts surrounding system-in-package (SiP) technology. It is moments like these that make it fun to look back on what has happened and also look forward to the next five years.

Octavo had its inception when three former Texas Instruments employees (Bill Heye, Masood Murtuza and myself – Gene Frantz) began to discuss where the semiconductor industry was going and how we could participate in its movement. Octavo came to life in 2015 when we teamed up with Green Source Holding LLC and several engineer colleagues of ours. The name “Octavo” references the 15th century technology that made early printing available to the broader public by miniaturizing and reducing the cost of books. In that same vein, Octavo’s vision is to change the rules of electronics design and manufacturing so advanced technology is available to everyone by reducing the size and cost of integrated systems.
