Compute Module 3+ Datasheet

1 Introduction

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ (CM3+) is a range of DDR2-SODIMM-mechanically-compatible

System on Modules (SoMs) containing processor, memory, eMMC Flash (on non-Lite variants) and

supporting power circuitry. These modules allow a designer to leverage the Raspberry Pi hardware and

software stack in their own custom systems and form factors. In addition these modules have extra IO

interfaces over and above what is available on the Raspberry Pi model A/B boards, opening up more

options for the designer.

The CM3+ contains a BCM2837B0 processor (as used on the Raspberry Pi 3B+), 1Gbyte LPDDR2

RAM and eMMC Flash. The CM3+ is currently available in 4 variants, CM3+/8GB, CM3+/16GB,

CM3+/32GB and CM3+ Lite, which have 8, 16 and 32 Gigabytes of eMMC Flash, or no eMMC Flash,

respectively.

The CM3+ Lite product is the same as CM3+ except the eMMC Flash is not ﬁtted, and the SD/eMMC

interface pins are available for the user to connect their own SD/eMMC device.

Note that the CM3+ is electrically identical and, with the exception of higher CPU z-height, physically

identical to the legacy CM3 products.

CM3+ modules require a software/ﬁrmware image dated November 2018 or newer to function correctly.
