FS-3013

Overview

The FS-3013 is a microcontroller module manufactured by Digi International, formerly Rabbit Semiconductor. This component integrates a Rabbit 3000 series processor with 32MB of SDRAM and 32MB of Flash memory. The module utilizes a 9-pin package configuration designed for embedded applications requiring significant onboard storage and processing capabilities. It serves as a complete computing solution within a compact form factor, supporting complex firmware execution and data retention without external memory dependencies.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Rabbit 3000 processor core with substantial onboard memory resources
• Provides dedicated 32MB SDRAM for high-speed volatile data handling
• Includes 32MB Flash memory for persistent code and data storage
• Delivers a self-contained embedded computing module in a 9-pin package

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring robust local data logging
• Embedded systems needing significant non-volatile storage capacity
• Networked devices utilizing Rabbit semiconductor architecture
• Complex firmware implementations demanding ample RAM resources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as Digi International acquired Rabbit Semiconductor. Confirm the exact pinout compatibility with existing carrier boards or development platforms. Check for RoHS compliance status and lead-free certification if required for modern manufacturing standards. Ensure the 9-pin interface matches the target system's physical connection requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this module when the application demands the specific architectural features of the Rabbit 3000 processor combined with large onboard memory capacities. Consider the 9-pin form factor constraints against available board space. Evaluate whether the integrated 32MB SDRAM and Flash meet the software footprint and runtime data requirements compared to solutions using external memory chips.
