Digi Unveils New NS9215 and NS9210 at ESC Silicon Valley 2008, Booth 2018
Digi International (Nasdaq: DGII) today introduced the NS9215 and NS9210,
the industry's first microprocessors to include Flexible Interface Modules
(FIMS) that provide different hardware interfaces based on the needs of the
product or application. FIMs reduce product design complexity and cost by
cutting the number of electronic components in a product.

"The new processor family can be customized for any unique set of I/O,"
said Joel Young, senior vice president of research and development and CTO,
Digi International. "Both processors integrate two independent high-speed
controllers that are programmable as FIMs for a wide range of interfaces.
Different FIMs can be loaded from software when needed to provide specific
interface capabilities."
Based on a powerful ARM926EJ-S core capable of operating at speeds up to
150 MHz, the NS9215 and NS9210 also provide enhanced security through an
on-chip 256-bit AES accelerator. The integrated NIST-certified AES accelerator
provides secure network communication with SSL/TLS and IPsec protocols. The
accelerator encrypts and decrypts data streams up to 10 times faster than a
software-only solution and provides strong data privacy for any customer
information stored or transmitted by the processor.
Additionally, the family features Digi Dynamic Power Control(TM), a
complete set of hardware and software features for product designs that demand
low power consumption and advanced power management. The processors can be
instructed to shut down or use a power saving reduced speed mode while idle or
waiting for input, and restart the processor when needed or to respond to
incoming networking traffic. This makes the processors ideal for mobile,
battery-operated and other power constrained devices.
The NS9215 also features 4 KB of I/D cache, 10/100 Ethernet MAC, four
high-speed UARTs, SPI, I2C, 4 PWMs or 10 timers, 12-bit ADC, a quadrature
decoder, RTC with battery backup, up to 108 GPIOs and access to 2 FIMs. FIM
support is available now for SD/SDIO, CAN bus, 1-Wire and additional UARTs.
FIM support for USB low-speed device, parallel bus, I2S, and Wiegand interfaces
is in development.
The NS9215 is available in a 265-pin (15 x 15 mm) BGA package. The NS9210
is available in a 177-pin (13 x 13 mm) BGA version that offers a smaller
footprint with access to a subset of the NS9215 interfaces. It is also
pin-compatible with Digi's NS7520 ARM7-based NET+ARM microprocessor. Both
products are RoHS compliant and industrial temperature rated.
The new NET+ARM microprocessors are used in Digi's new embedded modules,
including the currently available ConnectCore(TM) 9P 9215. The module provides
access to all the new features of the NS9215 and can accelerate product design
for rapid prototyping and faster time to market. The NS9210 will be designed
into the next generation of the popular Digi Connect ME(R) embedded device
server, providing improved secure networking capabilities and additional
interface flexibility.
The NS9215 is available in sample quantities now and in June 2008 for
US$11.95 in 10,000 quantities. The NS9210 will be available in June 2008 for
US$9.95 in 10,000 quantities. Development kits for the NET+ARM NS9215,
ConnectCore 9P 9215 and NET+OS(R) 7.3 are available now, and kits for the
NS9210 will be available in June 2008. For more information, please visit
