The new safety MCU HERCULES board is in stock! The TMS570LS series is a high performance automotive grade microcontroller family which has been certified for use in IEC 61508 SIL3 safety systems. The safety architecture includes Dual CPUs in lockstep, CPU and Memory Built-In Self Test (BIST) logic, ECC on both the Flash and the data SRAM, parity on peripheral memories, and loop back capability on peripheral IOs.
The TMS570LS family integrates the ARM® Cortex™-R4F Floating Point CPU which offers an efficient 1.6 DMIPS/MHz, and has configurations which can run up to 160 MHz providing more than 250 DMIPS. The TMS570LS series also provides different Flash 2MB and data SRAM 160KB with single bit error correction and double bit error detection.
TMS570-CAN specs are implressive – this board with DUAL CORE CORTEX-RF4 processor running at 140 Mhz with 2 MB of internal FLASH, 160 KB of RAM. The microcontroller used is TMS570LS20216 ARM Cortex-R4F.
For only EUR 24.95 this is real bargain, so get yours until our stock last. We built limited number of these boards, so hurry up to get yours before they are gone!
