Digi's ARM9 core processor modules, the Connect Core 9M2443 (with integrated Ethernet capability) and Connect Core Wi9M2443 (with integrated WiFi capability) are being offered as design alternatives to a PC or embedded SBC (single board computer) in networked devices and other industrial applications.

Typical power consumption for these extremely efficient devices is just 0.825W for the 9M2443 (3.3V, 250mA) and 1.815W for the WiFi enabled Wi9M2443 (3.3V, 550mA).

The modules and development kit are being stocked by Solid State Supplies. The kit has a working board support package with support for multiple external devices. It comes with complete platform support for either Windows CE 6.0 or Linux.

Both the 9M2443 and Wi9M2443 use the high performance power efficient Samsung S3C2443 embedded ARM processor operating up to 533MHz. It feature a multi-layer memory bus architecture that allows simultaneous data transfer between processor, memory and peripherals.

The Samsung ARM9 processor is coupled with a wide range of external functionality, including: high capacity NAND Flash and DDR memory, 1024x1024 LCD display controller, 4096x4096 camera interface, 12S and AC97 Codec, USB2 device and USB1 host functionality, 4 UARTs, 12C, memory card interfaces, 10-bit ADC and touch screen interfaces, timer counters, memory bus interface, GPIO, Watchdog, RTC and a wide range of power management modes.

Both parts also feature extended temperature range for industrial applications.
