Micro/sys Releases the first Low-Power ARM Processor with StackableUSB
Montrose, CA. . . Micro/sys incorporates StackableUSB technology for the first time in an ARM processor broadening the depth of the StackableUSB CPU platforms. Based on a high-performance ARM core, the SBC1626 from Micro/sys provides a powerful, network-ready controller on the 104 form factor with 7 USB ports: 5 host ports through the StackableUSB connector and 2 separate client USB ports. The SBC1626 has dual network processing engines to drive the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet allowing embedded system users to offload networking tasks from one�s server, such as Ethernet filtering which enables higher throughputs. The SBC1626 board is ideal for remote, low-power applications since it consumes only 385mA typical in its basic configuration. Applications ranging from industrial controllers to protocol converters to gateways can all be implemented on this high-performance ARM single board computer (SBC).
In addition to its
powerful networking features, the SBC1626
also features 24 digital I/O lines, eight readable DIP switches, eight LEDs for
application use, and four RS232 serial ports, one RS485 configurable. With
128MB of SDRAM and a 64MB resident flash array, high-performance control or
data communications systems can be implemented with feature-rich operating
systems without the need for external storage devices. There are board support
packages available for Linux, WindowsCE and VXWorks. The SBC1626�s CompactFlash
socket supports storage devices as well as I/O devices, such as Wi-Fi cards.
The SBC1626
is implemented with the
efficient Intel IXP425 XScale processor, which has a super-pipelined RISC
architecture. The IXP425 offers speeds from 266MHz to 533MHz, on-chip cache, a
watchdog timer, and 133MHz SDRAM access. A free development kit is provided
with the SBC1626
that includes cables,
sample software, and full documentation.
The basic SBC1626
starts at $450 in
single quantity. An extended temperature (-40�C to +85�C) version is also
available. Significant OEM discounts are available. Contact Technical Sales
