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.
