Processor and memory subsystem[edit | edit source]

The heart of ZERO module is composed of the following components:

  • RZ/T2H SoC application processor
  • Power supply unit
  • LPDDR4 memory bank
  • eMMC flash memory
  • OSM L 45x45mm form factor

This chapter briefly describes the main ZERO components.

Power supply unit[edit | edit source]

ZERO embeds all the elements required to power the unit, therefore, power sequencing is self-contained and simplified. Nevertheless, power must be provided from the carrier board, and therefore users should be aware that the power supply range can assumes as well as all other parameters.
