Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ Lite ,CM3+ Lite, 1GB RAM Quad-Core 1.2GHz Embedded SoM

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ Lite (CM3+ Lite) is a compact and flexible system-on-module designed for embedded and industrial applications requiring customizable storage solutions. It integrates the processing power of the Raspberry Pi 3B+ into a DDR2-SODIMM form factor, making it ideal for scalable product development and custom hardware integration.

Powered by the Broadcom BCM2837B0 quad-core processor running at 1.2GHz, the module features a 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 architecture and 1GB of LPDDR2 RAM, delivering reliable performance for a wide range of embedded applications.

Unlike standard CM3+ variants, the Lite version does not include onboard eMMC storage, allowing developers to connect their own SD card or external eMMC through exposed SD/eMMC interface pins. This provides greater flexibility for storage capacity, cost optimization, and system customization.

The module supports a wide range of interfaces including GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, HDMI, USB, CSI (camera), and DSI (display), making it suitable for IoT devices, industrial automation, robotics, and multimedia systems.

Its improved thermal performance and long-term availability make it a reliable choice for production environments and embedded system deployments.
