Small Form Factor
Compact power for your FPGAs!
What is a Small Form Factor (SFF)?
The Small Form Factor (SFF) is a format specially designed to minimize the footprint of electronic boards. This format is essential in applications where space is at a premium, such as embedded devices, defense equipment or medical devices. The Small Form Factor maximizes system efficiency by reducing footprint while maintaining optimum performance, especially for high-density, low-power applications.
Small Form Factor operating principles
The architecture of a board in Small Form Factor format is based on compact integration, enabling several functions to be combined on a single board, thus reducing wiring and overall footprint.
This format uses adapted connectors and interfaces to ensure maximum compatibility in tight spaces.
Small Form Factor applications
Small Form Factor (SFF) boards are used in a variety of sectors where space is limited and performance is essential:
- Embedded devices: requiring compact size and high performance
- Medical equipment: where space is limited but reliability requirements are high
- Military systems: where compactness and robustness are essential
- Portable communication devices: enabling miniaturization and reduced power consumption
