RK3576 SoM

RK3576 SoM

Rockchip RK3576 octa-core SoM with a 6 TOPS NPU in 40 × 40 mm — 4K multi-display, 8K video decoding and rich industrial I/O.

Highlights

01

Octa-core 64-bit

Quad Cortex-A72 up to 2.2 GHz plus quad Cortex-A53, with independent power and frequency scaling for each cluster.

02

6 TOPS edge AI

INT4/INT8/INT16/FP16/BF16/TF32 mixed precision; works with TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, TFLite, Caffe and Android NN.

03

4K multi-display

HDMI 2.1 / eDP 1.3, DP 1.4, MIPI DSI and parallel RGB over three independent display pipelines, up to 4K@120Hz.

04

8K video decoding

H.265 decoding up to 8K@30fps and 4K@120fps, H.265 / H.264 encoding up to 4K@60fps, and a 16 MP ISP.

05

Industrial I/O

2× CAN FD, 12× UART with RS485, 2× Gigabit Ethernet, 2× PCIe 2.1 / SATA and 2× USB 3.2.

06

Compact and integrated

40 × 40 mm with LPDDR5, eMMC and the RK806S-5 PMU on board, plus a 2.7–5.5 V input for simpler carrier boards.

The RK3576 SoM is built on Rockchip’s RK3576 octa-core processor with a 6 TOPS NPU, LPDDR5 memory and eMMC storage. In just 40 × 40 mm it delivers 4K multi-display output, 8K video decoding and a full set of industrial interfaces for smart displays, medical devices, video intercoms and HMIs, running Android 14 or Debian 12 out of the box.
