Overview Part Numbers & Accessories Specifications Resources

The Digi ConnectCore® 6UL module delivers a secure and extremely cost-effective connected System-on-Module platform that is slightly bigger than a postage stamp.

Its patent-pending Digi SMTplus™ surface mount form factor allows you to choose simplified design integration leveraging proven and easy-to-use edge-castellated SMT technology, or a versatile LGA option for ultimate design flexibility with access to virtually all interfaces.

Built on the NXP i.MX6UL UltraLite application processor, the module is the intelligent communication engine for today’s secure connected devices. It seamlessly integrates dual-Ethernet and pre-certified dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) with Bluetooth 5 connectivity.

Embedded device security is a critical design aspect for the growing number of connected applications (“IoT”) and the ConnectCore 6UL removes the implementation barriers by providing you with Digi TrustFence, a fully integrated secure module platform with complete Linux software support.

Smallest Size and Without Compromise

Smallest form factor. Lowest power. Wired or wireless. Pre-certified. The one i.MX6UL UltraLite SOM platform solution for all your connected devices.

Smallest Size and Without Compromise

Digi SMTplus™ for Design and Manufacturing Flexibility

Patent-pending Digi SMTplus form factor for optimized build/cost

Ultra-compact size of 29 x 29 mm with reliable low-profile mounting
Simplified and cost-optimized design and manufacturing flexibility
- 245-pad LGA (universal), or 76-pad (simple) castellated edge vias
- Reduced carrier board layer count for simpler applications
- No board connector cost, no board connector supply dependency
Simplified edge castellations (~76) only,
or versatile LGA (~245 @ 1.27 mm pitch) for design flexibility

Designed for automated pick-and-place

Highly cost-effective manufacturing in low and high volume applications
Castellated edge vias also allow manual prototyping placement

Common footprint

** DIGI ConnectCore 6UL products have the cryptographic functions implemented only within the following: Digi TrustFence® Embedded Security Framework (cryptographic algorithms are implemented within Linux OS v. 4.1.38), Wi-Fi module (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 5 module. Cryptographic and other functions and abilities of Digi TrustFence® Embedded Security Framework are accelerated by embedded NXP i.MX6UL processor. The processor itself is not used as a separate cryptographic module and does not accomplish any cryptographic functions by itself.
