How to choose the right SBC
In practice, three decisions are usually enough to get you to the right platform quickly.
- Determine the CPU platform and performance profile: Select your Single Board Computer according to the appropriate CPU family and the desired range of functions. The product tiles state the respective base platform (e.g. i.MX or Layerscape) and the core data.
- Check interfaces and real-time requirements: If you have specific industrial IO, network functions or real-time requirements, it is worth looking at the respective board highlights such as TSN or special communication features.
- Plan from evaluation to series production: Robust designs, security of supply and a clear lifecycle approach are crucial for projects with long lifecycles.
Our Tip: Sustainability by Design
Our SBCs are built for long-term availability and maximum reliability. Thanks to their robust design, proactive obsolescence management, and long-term component supply, they are ideal for applications with extended product life cycles.

FAQs zu Single Board Computer
What is a Single Board Computer?
A Single Board Computer is a complete, ready-to-use board on which the central processing unit, memory and important interfaces are already integrated. This gives you a compact platform that can be quickly integrated into devices and systems - ideal when compact design and energy efficiency are required.
What is the difference between a Single Board Computer and a Computer-on-Module?
A Single Board Computer is a complete board. A computer-on-module is the plug-in computing unit that only becomes a complete system when combined with a carrier board. Single Board Computers offer the advantage that many functions are already implemented directly on the board.
For which applications are Single Board Computers particularly suitable?
Single Board Computers are often used when a compact, robust board is required for embedded applications, for example in industrial environments, for operating and display systems, gateways or control systems.
How do I choose the right Single Board Computer?
Focus on three points: required computing power and CPU platform, required interfaces and environmental conditions such as temperature and installation. This will help you to quickly find a Single Board Computer that fits your project both technically and economically.
What role do interfaces and network functions play in Single Board Computers?
Interfaces determine how well a system can be integrated into its environment, for example via Ethernet, USB or display connections. Depending on the application, special network functions are also crucial, for example for real-time communication or robust industrial networks.
Are Single Board Computers suitable for long-term series projects?
Yes, if long-term availability, stable platforms and a predictable series strategy are important, they are a very good basis. They facilitate standardization and reduce development costs across product generations.
How does TQ support selection and implementation?
TQ provides support in selecting the right SBC, technical integration into your system and planning for series production, including documentation, software support and project support.
