FS-336

Overview

The Digi FS-336 is a System-on-Module (SOM) based on the Motorola 586 architecture, specifically utilizing the Mod520C processor core. It integrates 64 MB of SDRAM for system memory and includes 16 MB of onboard Flash storage for persistent data retention. The module operates at a clock speed of 133 MHz, providing processing capabilities suitable for embedded control applications. The physical dimensions of the module are 60 mm by 44 mm. This component is designed to facilitate rapid integration into custom hardware designs requiring reliable computing power within a compact form factor.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a 133 MHz Mod520C processor core for embedded processing tasks
• Provides 64 MB of SDRAM for efficient system memory management
• Includes 16 MB of onboard Flash storage for non-volatile data retention

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Embedded monitoring devices
• Custom IoT gateway implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and pinout compatibility with your target carrier board before procurement. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with your environmental specifications. Ensure that the 133 MHz performance meets the latency requirements of your application logic. Cross-reference the mechanical footprint against your PCB layout to guarantee proper fitment within the enclosure constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a dedicated 586-based solution is required for legacy or specific architectural compatibility. Consider the 64 MB RAM limit for complex multitasking scenarios. Evaluate if the 133 MHz speed suffices for real-time processing demands. Compare against newer architectures if higher throughput is necessary. Ensure the SOM interface matches your existing connector infrastructure.

Part Context

The FS-336 belongs to Digi International's line of System-on-Modules, which are designed to simplify the development of embedded products. These modules typically encapsulate the processor, memory, and essential peripherals into a standardized package. This approach allows engineers to focus on application software rather than low-level hardware design. The family generally targets industrial and commercial embedded markets requiring reliable, long-term availability.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consult Digi International directly for current equivalent models or next-generation replacements. Verify backward compatibility if migrating from older versions within the same product family.
