NS9210B-0-I150

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The NS9210B-0-I150 is a microprocessor from the Digi NET+ARM family, featuring a single ARM926EJ-S core operating at a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz. It utilizes a 32-bit data bus and is housed in a 177-pin BGA package with a 0.8 mm ball pitch. The device operates on a 1.8 V core voltage with 3.3 V I/O levels and supports an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key integrated peripherals include a 10/100 Mbit Ethernet MAC, NIST-compliant 256-bit hardware AES accelerator, two Flexible Interface Modules (FIMs), and up to 54 multiplexed GPIOs.
