The SF1000 offers serial-interfaced Flash memory that is designed to significantly increase the data-storage capabilities of any embedded control system. Two models offer either 8 or 4 megabytes of memory.

Features

• Simple serial peripheral interface (SPI)
• Data easily retrieved and downloaded to another system
• Board easily removable

These Serial Flash cards are ideal for applications that require temporary storage of large amounts of data collected from a system's controlling device. Data stored on an SF1000 can be retrieved and downloaded to another user system via TCP/IP or serial communications (on supported board-level products), or the card itself can easily be removed to facilitate data transfer at another location.

Any product can utilize the SF1000 with either a synchronous serial peripheral interface (SPI) or an emulated SPI via parallel I/O ports (Rabbit-based systems require Dynamic C® 7.05 or later software). For applications employing Z180-based single-board computers, the emulated SPI method is used (requires Dynamic C 32 software).

The SF1000 comes with a 10-pin, 2 mm, 2 x 5 header. Two additional 2 x 5 header locations are available (accommodating plugs or sockets, SMT or through-hole), and a location is also provided for a 7-pin in-line header or socket. Only six connections are required to interface the SF1000 with any SBC (2 are power).
