XPDNC2000-01

Overview

The Lantronix XPDNC2000-01 is an embedded device server module based on the XPort Direct+ architecture, specifically configured without an integrated RJ45 connector. It provides Ethernet connectivity for devices with serial interfaces using a dedicated networking SoC (DSTni-EX). The module features a CMOS asynchronous serial interface supporting data rates up to 921,600 bps and operates on 3.3 VDC power. It includes 256 KB of SRAM and 512 KB of Flash memory, enabling local web hosting and firmware upgrades. Designed for industrial environments, it supports extended operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated DSTni-EX processor with 256 KB SRAM and 512 KB Flash for standalone network processing
• CMOS serial interface supporting 300 bps to 921,600 bps with configurable flow control
• Built-in web server with 384 KB storage capacity for remote configuration and monitoring
• 256-bit AES encryption and password protection for secure data transmission

Applications

• Building automation systems such as lighting controls
• Energy and metering applications requiring remote data access
• Point of sale (POS) products needing network integration
• Vending machines and white goods with serial microcontrollers

Procurement Notes

Verify that the host design includes an external RJ45 jack, as this specific part number excludes the onboard connector. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements align with manufacturing standards. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 2 x 12 pin, 2 mm header footprint and maintains signal integrity for the 10/100 Ethernet signals routed through the headers.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when board space is constrained or when the system designer requires flexibility in positioning the Ethernet jack elsewhere on the main PCB. Compare against the standard XPD1001000-01 if an integrated connector is preferred for simplified assembly. Ensure the host microcontroller can handle the required baud rates and that the 3.3 VDC power supply meets the 240 mA maximum current draw specification.

Part Context

This component belongs to the XPort Direct+ family of embedded device servers. Unlike the standard modules which include an integrated RJ45 jack, the XPDNC2000-01 variant omits this connector to allow for custom mechanical integration. It shares the same core networking capabilities, software suite, and physical dimensions as other models in the series.

Replacement Considerations

The XPD1001000-01 serves as the functional equivalent but includes an integrated RJ45 connector. Substitution requires redesigning the host PCB to accommodate the existing jack or utilizing the NC version's headers for external connection.
