The IM3200 network processor is designed to deliver a sustained TCP/IP throughput of 25Mbit/s over Ethernet while consuming less than 100mW.
Java processing module is RoHS compliant
Imsys Technologies has developed a new RoHS compliant line of products based on its TINI compatible Snap module.
The combination with Java makes it useful for applications such as automation networking, battery powered devices, Internet connected equipment, and Java enabled remote control, point of purchase systems and facility management.
The Java Virtual Machine is an integral part of the MCU, which reduces the JVM interpretation overhead leading to lower power consumption and longer battery life.

IEEE 1588 development platform released
Imsys Technologies has released a development platform for the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol.
Using Java the developer gets done faster doesn't need to learn anything Imsys specific and hidden by the Java API.
API support includes efficient networking and the designer can mix and match between Java, C and assembler.
The DK3-3910 development kit is up to speed in 15 minutes and contains everything needed for developing and debugging.
The IM3910 is an ideal platform for prototype work and the module can be used as a component in OEM products.
The module has 32Mbyte of DRAM and 8Mbyte of Flash memory and only needs to be complemented with the customer specific peripherals and power supply.
A product usually needs less DRAM and Flash than on the development kit.
The IM3910 combines the best features of traditional CISC architectures and energy efficient use of resources with "FPGA-like" flexibility.
IM3910 MCU supports dual 10/100 Ethernet ports, three UARTs with 920Kbit/s, I2C or high speed, up to 20Mbit/s, SPI port, and has eight DMA channels with a sustained 83Mbyte/s throughput.
"The introduction of the IM3910 represents yet another milestone for Imsys and offer better performance, more features and lower system cost and power consumption than its predecessor", says Ola Andersson, Imsys President and CEO.
Imsys' complete offering includes RTOS, TCP/IP-stack, fail-safe Flash file system and embedded web server.
With Imsys' full-fledged development system, the customer can concentrate on the application without worrying about software integration problems.
The drop-in module offers the customer low risk development and short time to market and is ideal for customers that want a speed and feature upgrade from TINI or SNAP.
The IM3910-BA10 167MHz MCU is available now at a price of US $14.20 in 10,000-unit quantities.
The IM3910-M210 module comes with 32Mbyte DRAM and 8Mbyte Flash and is available now at a price of US $76.00 in 1000-unit quantities.
The IM3910 is supported by Imsys development kit DK3-3910 at US $695.
