The FPSC module footprint is size-optimized, price-optimized and guarantees a particularly high production yield thanks to its highly stable anchor solder connections.

FPSC modules have a concentric pinout with different zones: core functionalities are in the middle, and optional or future processor features can be routed to pins around the outside.

With FPSC, your product series are more future-proof! The pin-compatible modules of a feature set enable product variants and upgrades across processor boundaries – without loss of features.

Overview of advantages

The feature placement in 3 zones

Must-have signals
They are supported by all modules of a feature set and provide the interfaces necessary for the development of many Products sufficient. The zone ensures that Core functionalities can also be served by future FPSC modules with identical pinouts. In the current feature set, this zone covers 52 percent of the processor features.

Preferred Signals
The pins of the “Preferred Signals” are located around the rectangular inner zone. Here signals are routed to pins that are currently supported by many processors and should also be taken into account for future System on Modules of the FPSC feature set.

Proprietary Signals
The third zone allows the use of processor features that not subject to standardization and are therefore unique to a processor. This makes it possible to use special and new features of processors.

The gray areas in the corners show the high-strength solder connections for optimal processability.

Footprint FPSC-24-A.0

The feature set FPSC-24-A.0 has typical interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, PCIe, GPIO in the inner must-have zone, which are required for the development of most Products are already completely sufficient. 

The pins for the "Preferred Features" and "Proprietary Features" are located around the innermost zone. Here, signals are routed to pins that are currently supported by many processors and will also be considered for future FPSC modules with the same feature set. 

All modules with the same feature set are pin compatible and interchangeable.
