Octavo Systems has officially launched its latest and most compact System-in-Package (SiP): the OSD62x-PM, built around Texas Instruments’ AM62x processor family. Engineered for size-constrained, high-performance use cases, the OSD62x-PM condenses a powerhouse of capabilities into a remarkably compact 9 mm x 14 mm BGA package.
At its core lies the AM62 application processor, featuring up to four 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.4 GHz, paired with a Cortex-M4F microcontroller clocked at 400 MHz. The package also packs up to 2 GB of DDR4 memory, along with essential passive components, EEPROM, oscillators, and power management, delivering a true “SiP” integration.
Designed for visual-centric applications, the device features a dedicated 3D graphics processing unit with support for resolutions up to 2048 × 1080 at 60 fps, and compatibility with OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 APIs. The advanced display subsystem supports dual Full HD displays (2×1920×1080 @60 fps) through 24-bit RGB parallel interfaces and OLDI/LVDS (4 lanes-2×) connectivity.
Features and Specifications:
Connectivity and peripheral access are extensive. The SiP allows you to use all the different connections on the AM62. This includes MIPI CSI 1.3, which works with D-PHY 1.2. It also has a network switch that can handle speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps and supports Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). You will find USB 2.0 ports, several UART, SPI, and I²C connections, as well as McASP channels. Additionally, it includes modules like ePWM, eQEP, eCAP, CAN-FD buses, and supports eMMC, SDIO, and GPMC.
Built to be dependable in tough situations, the OSD62x-PM works well in a wide temperature range from −40 °C to +85 °C. Common uses include things like managing buildings and factories, Internet of Things gateways, edge artificial intelligence, and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI). This makes it easier for developers to include strong, graphics-rich computing in small devices.
It is compatible with regular TI AM62 tools and software, and takes advantage of the open-hardware testing platform (OSD62-PM-BRK) that allows support for Yocto, TI SDK, and Debian BSPs. If you are creating systems for industrial automation, edge AI gadgets, or HMI panels, the way to integrate is easy for developers and works well.
Price and Availability:
As of now, the Octavo Systems OSD62x-PM SiP is available through major distributors such as Digi-Key and Mouser Electronics. Pricing starts at around $29.23 per unit from Digi-Key, while Mouser lists it slightly higher at $35.58 per unit. For larger production runs, the cost drops to about $24.68 per unit when ordering quantities of 100 or more, making it an attractive option for volume deployment. Developers who want to create prototypes can check out the OSD62-PM-BRK evaluation board, which costs about $115 or $110.73, but it’s not available right now. In general, the SiP is being made and can be bought easily, with prices that work for both small projects and large orders.
