FPSC Gamma (Lite) Feature Set Introduction
The FPSC (Future Proof Solder Core) Gamma and Gamma Lite feature set specification provides a concise and versatile system on module (SOM) definition. It allows for easy swapping between FPSC Gamma (Lite) SOMs while minimizing the amount of redesign needed for your hardware solution. The FPSC definition details a set of mandatory and optional interfaces commonly found in numerous processors. As many of these interfaces as possible are brought out to a consistent pinout to maximize compatibility between FPSC modules. The specification also defines a set of specialized pins that allow non-standard, processor-specific functionality to be brought out. Following the FPSC specification allows you to enjoy flexibility and reliability in future projects. The FPSC module footprint is optimized for size and price and provides a high production yield thanks to its stable solder joints. The FPSC footprint is divided into several zones. Core functionalities are in the center zones. Optional or future processor features can be routed to the outer zone pins. The pin-compatible design of the FPSC enables product variants and upgrades across processor boundaries without impairing functionality.
This specification directs the design of an FPSC Gamma (Lite) Feature Set System on Module (SOM) by providing detailed information on its functionality, pinout, and physical and electrical definitions. For information about soldering down an FPSC unit, refer to the soldering guide.
FPSC Physical Advantages
- Solder joint geometry ensures maximum ruggedness and force distribution
- Vibration and shock tests according to the EN 60068-2 series of standards confirm robustness

FPSC Interface Summary
The full list of SOM functionality and interfaces defined by the FPSC Gamma (Lite) Feature Set is listed below. Please note that some of the interfaces are optional. Both the availability and the total number of available optional interfaces depend on the specific SOM being used. A full breakdown of how interfaces are defined can be found in Requirement Parameters.
Functionality
Mass Storage (e.g., eMMC or NAND)
Each SOM has integrated, non-volatile mass storage. The specific technology (such as eMMC or NAND) depends on the SOM, while the storage size and speed are variable via configuration options.
Ethernet-PHY
An Ethernet-PHY is fully integrated into the SOM. To implement an Ethernet interface on the baseboard, all that is needed is a transformer (magnetics) and a suitable socket (typically an RJ-45).
EEPROM
An EEPROM for storing SOM-specific information, e.g., for the bootloader and customer-specific project data, is always available.
RTC
Each SOM has an integrated RTC and allows, among other things, the system time to be maintained when the system is switched off.
Watchdog
All SOMs feature a hardware watchdog with a dedicated signal output that triggers a hard reset of the module if not regularly serviced by the software.

Gamma vs. Gamma Lite
The FPSC Gamma Feature Set defines a comprehensive set of mandatory interfaces that maximize pin-level compatibility between modules. This feature set is one of the central ways in which the FPSC standard differs from competing SOM specifications. To maintain this high level of compatibility while accommodating modern processor portfolios, the specification introduces a second, fully aligned variant: Gamma Lite.
Gamma Lite has an identical universal pinout, mechanical footprint, and electrical definition to Gamma. The mandatory interfaces of Gamma Lite are a strict subset of those of Gamma, and all signals are routed to the same pin locations. In practice, only one or two interfaces relaxed by Gamma Lite are typically absent from a given processor; the remaining interfaces are implemented on the module and connected to their defined pins. Therefore, a baseboard designed for Gamma Lite is compatible with every Gamma module. A baseboard that does not rely on the reduced interfaces can freely mix and match modules from both feature sets.
The Gamma Lite variant relaxes the mandatory requirement for the following interfaces, none of which are universally supported across the targeted processor landscape:
CAN (CAN1, CAN2) — Mandatory in Gamma, Optional in Gamma Lite
MIPI CSI (CSI1 2-lane) — Mandatory in Gamma, Optional in Gamma Lite
RGMII (RGMII2, second Ethernet) — Mandatory in Gamma, Optional in Gamma Lite
LVDS (LVDS1) — Mandatory in Gamma, Optional in Gamma Lite
USB 2.0 (USB2) — Mandatory in Gamma, Optional in Gamma Lite
A complete, signal-level comparison is provided in the Gamma/Gamma Lite columns of Table 2 (see Section 2.1).
Rationale: While some application processors are highly attractive, including current and emerging SoCs in the ARM Cortex and i.MX families, they do not implement the entire Gamma mandatory feature set. Instead of excluding these processors from the FPSC ecosystem, Gamma Lite provides them to customers under a clearly defined, fully pin-compatible specification. The full Gamma mandatory feature set remains unchanged to preserve the strong, predictable compatibility between Gamma modules, which is a key value proposition of the FPSC standard and a central differentiator from alternative SOM standards, such as OSM.
Selecting Between Gamma and Gamma Lite.
Choose Gamma if the application requires the full mandatory interface guarantee, including dual CAN, MIPI CSI camera input, a second Gigabit Ethernet RGMII2, LVDS1, and a second USB 2.0, as well as the broadest possible interchangeability across the Gamma module portfolio.
Choose Gamma Lite when the application does not depend on one or more of the relaxed interfaces, and when access to the wider pool of processors covered by Gamma Lite is more important than the strict Gamma mandatory guarantee. Gamma Lite baseboards are fully compatible with all Gamma modules.
The universal pinout ensures that today's design decisions do not preclude tomorrow's upgrade paths. Customers can move between Gamma and Gamma Lite modules, as well as between processor generations, with minimal or no baseboard redesign..
FPSC Feature Set Requirements
FPSC Interface/Signal Types
The FPSC Gamma (Lite) Feature Set Specification uses the terms Mandatory, Optional, and Specialized to define requirement parameters for interfaces in the FPSC Gamma (Lite) Feature Set Specification. How these definitions are applied to interfaces is described below:
Mandatory
This interface is considered core functionality, is supported on all FPSC Gamma (Lite) SOMs, and must be brought out to its defined pins.
Optional
This interface is not strictly necessary, but it is commonly supported by many processors and will be brought out to its defined pins if possible.
Specialized
This interface is not defined by the FPSC Gamma (Lite) Feature Set specification and allows the use of new, special, and/or unique processor features not subject to standardization. This opens up a potential incompatibility with other FPSC Gamma (Lite) SOMs.
Please note that sometimes a signal may not share the same requirements as its interface. This primarily occurs with some Mandatory interfaces containing Optional signals. The lack of these signals may alter the functionality of the interface, but the high level requirement of the interface will be maintained across FPSC SOMs.
The Mandatory, Optional, and Specialized interfaces for an FPSC Gamma (Lite) SOM are summarized in the table below.

Pinout
The following tables and sections define the pinout of the FPSC Gamma (Lite) specification. Two or more instances of an interface are numbered starting from 1, and the ordering is determined by:
- Bootability: If the SOM supports booting through this interface, the boot-capable interface is listed first.
- After any bootable interfaces, the remaining interfaces are listed by the maximum achievable data rate of the interface, starting with the fastest.
The signal voltage level, direction, and presence of pull-ups are defined from the SOM’s perspective. Any additional external circuitry required for a signal is noted..
PWR/CTRL
Boot Source Selection
The FPSC Gamma (Lite) feature set provides four signals for selecting the boot source: BOOT_MODE1, BOOT_MODE2, BOOT_MODE3, and BOOT_MODE4. The processor evaluates the boot mode in relation to the value of these boot mode pins on the rising edge of nRESET_OUT. If the boot source selection signals on the baseboard are not connected, an internal mass storage device, as determined by the on-board pull-ups, is set as the default boot source for the user-stage bootloader.
The following list includes the possible boot sources for the user-stage boot loader. Note that not all SoMs support all boot sources; refer to the individual SoM documentation for specifics on capabilities and voltage selection.
- (SOM) internal NOR-Flash
- (SOM) internal eMMC
- (SOM) internal Bootfuses (referring to another boot source)
- SD-Card
- Ethernet
- USB-Serial
- USB-Mass Storage
- UART
If there are multiple instances of an interface and one of them is boot capable, the first listed interface will be the boot-capable interface. The user-stage bootloader may provide additional options for loading the operating system (e.g., kernel and file system).

SD Card Interface
The SD card interface is intended for SD card boot. It provides the necessary power supply for the card via the SDCARD_VCC_OUT signal and allows various "bus speed modes" to be negotiated with the host processor. Depending on the SD card used, the logic voltage can be either 3.3 V or 1.8 V. No additional circuitry is required on the baseboard except for capacitors for VCC, as the SOM implements the logic for this voltage transition.
SDIO Interface
The SDIO interface is intended for general use, such as for Wi-Fi, and is not supported for SD-card boot. The 4-bit-wide SDIO interface can also provide additional nWP and CD control signals. Additionally, the IO reference voltage of the interface is accessible at pin J56.

The FPSC Gamma Feature Set defines two Mandatory and one Optional (three Optional for Gamma Light) CAN interfaces that comply with CAN protocol 2.0 B and ISO 11898-1. These interfaces support flexible message payloads ranging from 0 to 64 bytes. While CAN support is the default, CAN-FD is commonly supported on our SOMs. If a SOM supports CAN-FD, it can be used with a CB and an appropriate transceiver. Due to its backward compatibility, CAN-FD will also work with a CAN system.

Specialized Pins
Specialized pins are reserved for unique processor or SOM interfaces that are not standardized within the FPSC Gamma (Lite) pinout. These pins are routed to module pins so that all processor features can be accessed and utilized without restrictions, even if they are not part of the standardized pinout. Using these signals makes cross-module compatibility unlikely and cannot be guaranteed. However, using specialized pins alongside FPSC-compliant pins does not affect the compatibility of the compliant pins. Some pins may be reserved for future use in case new, unforeseen interfaces are introduced through revisions of the FPSC standard. For more information about these interfaces and signals, refer to the hardware manual specific to your SOM. The manual details signal names, types, voltage domains, and recommended configurations.

Mechanical Layer
Module
To offer an optimal balance between compatibility and board space efficiency, PHYTEC defines three footprint sizes within the FPSC specification. Smaller modules are fully compatible with larger footprints, allowing for flexible upgrades without the need to modify the carrier board.
Footprint sizes:
- Size S is the most compact option and supports most FPSC modules. It includes all mandatory and optional pins, making it suitable for most typical applications.
- Size M extends the footprint to include additional specialized signals. It offers increased flexibility while maintaining reasonable compactness, making it a safe choice for customers who want to accommodate current and potential future modules without occupying excessive space.
- Size L provides the maximum possible footprint and ensures full forward compatibility with any future FPSC modules. Although it is rarely necessary today, it offers the highest level of design security for long-term upgradability.
When developing new FPSC module designs, PHYTEC aims to achieve the smallest possible footprint. In most cases, the S or M footprint meets design requirements, and the L footprint is an option for customers who prioritize maximum future compatibility.
| Features | Size S (40 x 45 mm) | Size M (48 x 45 mm) | Size L (53 x 50 mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
Pins Included | Mandatory, Optional, and select Specialized pins | All Mandatory, Optional, and Specialized pins | All pins and additional ground pins |
Board Space | Minimal (most compact) | Moderate | Largest |
Module Compatibility | Majority of current modules | Majority of current and future modules | All current and future modules |
Baseboard
Footprint
The following image is the suggested footprint for baseboard designs.
Anchor Joints
In addition to the functional signal pins, solder connections in the form of anchor joints are required to connect the assembly, which includes the baseboard and SOM. While these anchor joints are connected to ground, their primary purpose is to mechanically stabilize the connection. They are designed to evenly distribute forces acting on the circuit boards and relieve the signal pins. Further details on soldering can be found in Soldering Guide - FPSC-Based Products Fused Tin Grid Array (FTGA) Information (LAN-128e.A4) - Solder Paste Optimization.
Desoldering
PHYTEC provides a desoldering tool designed specifically for removing FPSC modules from soldered carrier boards. This tool supports replacing modules or exchanging carrier boards during prototyping and small-batch production. Contact your PHYTEC representative for detailed instructions and specifications.
Pin Numbering
The following image shows pin numbering schematic.
Thermal Management/Drill Holes
Surface enlargements, i.e., heat sinks, are custom-built for each FPSC SOM. As shown in the figure above, the FPSC footprint defines the contact surfaces and metal-reinforced holes for fastening the surface enlargement to the SOM. The holes on the baseboard can be omitted if the PHYTEC heat solution is not used, such as for a device-specific heat dissipation concept affixed to an SOM.
Design Considerations for Single-Sided SOMs (No Baseboard Cutout Required)
Standard SOMs are populated on both sides, requiring a cutout in the baseboard. This results in lost routing and component placement area beneath the module. Alternatively, single-sided, populated SOMs can be used to eliminate the need for a cutout and preserve the full baseboard area for routing and assembly. However, this design decision must be made early in the development phase because a baseboard without a cutout is exclusively compatible with single-sided SOMs. Refer to the relevant SOM manual to determine the population variant and evaluate whether the gained layout area justifies limiting the design to single-sided modules.

Power Sequencing
All PHYTEC FPSC SOMs have an internal power management system (PMIC), which controls individual processor voltages and control signals. If the power sequencing is incorrect, complex processors can go into unpredictable states. Therefore, it is imperative that the specified power sequencing is not affected by the user's custom design.
Power-up
All PHYTEC modules start power-up sequencing automatically after the input supply voltage is applied. To simplify the design-in, the power-up in PHYTEC SOMs is designed around three control lines:
- nPWRREADY_OUT (Pin U22)
- nRESET_OUT (Pin R22)
- nRESET_IN (Pin Y21)
nPWRREADY_OUT
The open-drain output on the SOM requires an external pull-up resistor. While it is recommended to connect the pull-up resistor to the SOM input voltage, the signal is rated for voltages up to 12V. During initial power-up of the SOM, the nPWRREADY_OUT pin floats high until all processor voltages are properly brought up. At this point, the nPWRREADY_OUT pin is pulled to ground (GND). Once this occurs, voltages can be safely applied to the SOM I/O pins. It is Mandatory that nPWRREADY_OUT be used to control the power to the peripherals connected to the SOM in your custom CB.
nRESET_OUT
This is an open-drain output on the SOM with an internal pull-up resistor to 1.8 V. nRESET is held to GND during the initial power sequencing. After nPWRREADY_OUT is pulled to ground, nRESET_OUT remains held to ground until the SOM processor has finished its internal reset procedure and latched the boot mode pins. At this point, nRESET_OUT switches to high impedance. All baseboard peripheral voltages must ramp up during this time. The length of time between nPWRREADY_OUT going low and nRESET_OUT going high depends on the SOM. If your CB voltages require more time to ramp up, you can hold nRESET_IN at GND on the baseboard for as long as necessary to keep nRESET_OUT low and the processor in its reset state.
It is recommended that you connect nRESET_OUT to the reset inputs of your CB peripherals.
nRESET_IN
This is an open-drain input to the SOM with an internal pull-up resistor (1.8 V to VCC_IN). The nRESET_IN pin is used to perform a CPU reset. When the signal changes from high to low, the SOM cycles the internal power rails necessary to fully reset the SOM, driving nRESET_OUT low and switching nPWRREADY_OUT to a high-impedance state while the power rails reinitialize. As previously mentioned, nRESET_IN can be used to keep the processor in the reset state by holding it low after nPWRREADY_OUT goes low. In this scenario, the rising edge of nRESET_IN will trigger the processor to finish its reset sequence and begin booting.
VCC_5V_SOM: SOM Supply Voltage
nPWRREADY_OUT: SOM Open-Drain Output. An external Pull-up is needed. See above.
nRESET_OUT: Open-Drain Output, Reset Output for Basboard devices
nRESET_IN: Open-Drain Input, CPU Reset (State-Controlled) / PWR Reset (on falling edge), minimum low time 100µs
VCC_#: Any peripheral power supply of the baseboard.
When designing the power sequencing for your baseboard, consider what would happen in the event of a momentary loss of external power. You may be using peripherals that operate with a power-on reset. To ensure these peripherals always remain in a defined state, discharging the voltages switched via nPWRREADY_OUT may be useful.
Power-cycle/Reset
The nRESET_IN pin (Y21) is an open-drain input with an internal pull-up resistor. Use nRESET_IN to trigger a reset or power cycle the module. You can connect nRESET_IN to a push-button or an open-drain output. When the nRESET_IN pin goes low, the module will start the reset sequence and the nPRWREADY (pin U22) pin will be set to a HIGH-Z state. When the nRESET_IN signal rises, the processor finishes its reset sequence and begins the boot process. This causes the nRESET_OUT signal to be set to a HIGH-Z state.
IO Voltage
The FPSC Gamma (Lite) specification sets the input/output (IO) voltage to 1.8 V for all interfaces, enabling optimal system integration. However, some SOMs offer the option of changing the I/O voltage of various signal groups to 3.3 V, should it be necessary for your application. Please note that this option is limited by the characteristics of the processor used and requires prior technical testing. Using this option will also cause your design to exceed the specifications of the FPSC Gamma (Lite) Feature Set.
