Reconfigurable module comes with Java onboard

The IM3910 claims new standards for energy efficiency due to its compact code, efficient control logic and patented memory interface

The IM3910 is the newest member of Imsys' IM3000 platform family of RSoC reconfigurable system on chip products. Its high energy efficiency and ability to deliver a sustained throughput of 83Mbyte/s makes it an ideal choice for I/O-demanding cost and power sensitive devices. 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.

The IM3910 sets new standards for energy efficiency due to its compact code, efficient control logic and patented memory interface.

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.
