Sodia is more than just specs! That is the "customer's perspective" that Sodia developers valued. "It's easier to use when you actually use it." This Sodia is a board that has been designed with such common sense in mind. I would like to introduce the "passion" of the developer packed into this one piece.
Part 1: Ensure stability of operation while keeping costs to a minimum!
The number of board layers, which is normally 16 in an 896-pin package, has been reduced to 12 while maintaining power quality! This has made it possible to reduce the cost of the substrate, making it available at a low price (selling price: 99,800 yen). In addition to improving the signal quality (SI Sim), PI and plane resonance simulations were performed to improve the power supply quality, and the power supply circuit was improved. We promise stable operation under high load even with a small number of substrate layers.
Part 2: Can be used as it is for customer's board development!
Even if you go to great lengths to evaluate using an evaluation board, it is impossible to reuse the design if the reference board is designed using the build-up method when developing the board. After all, board simulation is required, and board development takes time and money.In response to such voices, Sodia has adopted a design (through board) that can be used as it is for the customer's board. You can use the best design for cost and stable operation as it is!

Part 3: Reliable structure that can be used for a long time
Recent evaluation boards have small connectors that are easy to peel off. Therefore, Sodia uses various standard connectors. By firmly connecting to the board, it is a sturdy construction that will not break even a little or gently. One unit can be used for a long time!
Part 4: Compatible with the popular model "Helio"!
It has software compatibility with the well-received Mpression "Helio", and customers who are currently using Helio can directly verify it with Sodia.
Number 5: Macnica engineers provide support for each component!
We use many products handled by Macnica, and if you have any problems, Macnica 's engineers, who are specialists in those products, will provide you with generous support! (Japanese of course)
Sixth: Next day delivery at the shortest!
Normally, development kits take about 3 months to be delivered, but this is a must-see for customers who say, ``I can't wait that long!'' Sodia can be purchased at Macnica Online Store and can be delivered the next day at the earliest. You can try it as soon as you feel like it!
