Nuvoton, Industrial Automation IoT MPU, NUC980 Series Launch
Published2019.10.04 08:26As the industry's first product with LQFP packaging and up to 128MB DDR RAM, this product provides industrial-grade high noise immunity and reduces system cost and board size through simplified system hardware design.
Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces, two high-speed and six full-speed USB interfaces are standard features, and various peripheral device connection interfaces including four CAN 2.0B buses and ten UARTs are also provided.
The embedded hardware encryption/decryption engine supports encryption methods such as ECC (Elliptic Curve), AES-256, RSA-2048, SHA-512, and HMAC. The random number generator (RNG) generates authentication keys used for data encryption/decryption randomly, thereby enabling identity authentication and generation of private/public keys to enhance data transmission security within the network. These features are being applied to industrial IoT, smart factories, smart cities, smart farms, smart grids, and gateways.
The NUC980 Series features industrial-grade 16MB to 128MB DDR RAM, two embedded 10/100Mbps Ethernet controllers (MAC), and supports RMII, MDC, and MDIO interfaces. Storage devices including SPI NAND, NAND, SPI NOR, SD Card, and eMMC are also provided.
Additionally, it features two USB 2.0 high-speed host mode, six USB full-speed host mode, four CAN 2.0B buses, one SPI interface supporting up to 100MHz speed and Quad mode, ten UARTs with maximum 3Mbps, two camera interfaces, two Smart Cards, four I2C, two SPI, one I2S interface, two SDIO, three EBI (External Bus Interface), and eight-channel PWM. The analog circuit provides one eight-channel 12-bit ADC with operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
For the development platform, NK-NUC980 full-function development board and NK-980IOT IoT application development board are provided. Each board includes 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface, CAN bus, camera interface, USB 2.0 high-speed host and device interface, SD Card interface, SPI Flash, NAND Flash, SPI NAND, and 24-bit Audio CODEC.
For software, Linux OS 4.4 LTS version development components are provided, enabling developers to more easily configure network application software and reduce product development time. Additionally, specially provided Non-OS/FreeRTOS development components can be utilized for products requiring fast boot-up.
It supports various IoT communication protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, HTTPD (Web Server), MQTT, CoAP, and openSSL, and with the embedded hardware encryption/decryption engine, it provides industrial IoT application solutions with high security and cloud connectivity capabilities.
