BECOM CM-BF537 Core Module

BECOM Systems CM-BF537 Core Module is characterized by its field of application, performance, and configuration possibility, and is based on the high-performance ADSP-BF537 from Analog Devices. The module integrates processor, RAM, flash, external peripheral controllers, and power supply at a size of 31.5 x 36.5mm. It addresses up to 64MB SDRAM via its 16-bit wide SDRAM bus, has an onboard NOR-flash of 4MB, and offers a CAN interface. The CM-BF537 is designed for commercial and industrial usage, and also offers the physical Ethernet transceiver (10/100Mbit) onboard. Also available is a development starter package including the EVAL-BF5xx and the CM-BF537. The EVAL-BF5xx Blackfin Evaluation Board is a lightweight development platform, designed for evaluating all Blackfin Core Modules, and provides flexible interfaces for user-specific extensions.

Features

Analog Devices Blackfin Processor BF537
SDRAM
- 32MB SDRAM; SDRAM Clock up to 133MHz, MT48LC16M16A2BG-7 (16Mx16, 256Mb at 3.3V)
4MB of Addressable Flash: PF48F2000P0ZBQ0 (4Mx16 32Mb at 3.3V; default only 4MB addressable)
- Additional Flash memory can be connected through the expansion board as parallel Flash using asynchronous chip select lines or as an SPI Flash
Ethernet Physical Transceiver: Micrel KSZ8041NLI
Low Voltage Reset Circuit: Resets module if power supply goes below 2.93V for at least 140ms
Dynamic Core Voltage Control: Core voltage is adjustable by setting software registers on the Blackfin processor; core voltage range: 0.8V to 1.32V

Expansion Connector A: Data Bus, Address Bus, Control Signals, Power Supply, Ethernet Pins
Expansion Connector B: SPORT0, JTAG, UART0/UART1, CAN, TWI (I²C compatible), SPI, PPI (Parallel Port Interface), GPIOs
Compact 36.5mm x 31.5mm form factor
Allows quick prototyping of product that comes very close to the final design
Reduces development costs, faster time to market
Very cost effective for small and medium volumes

EVAL-BF5xx Evaluation Board

Development Starter Package (516-100-3020-1) includes the EVAL-BF5xx and the CM-BF537. The EVAL-BF5xx Blackfin Evaluation Board is a lightweight development platform, designed for evaluating all Blackfin Core Modules, and provides flexible interfaces for user specific extensions. The small baseboard has all hardware necessary to test the performance of the Core Modules including a high-speed serial port directly connectable to a computer USB port, a CAN Interface, and an SD-Card mass storage device socket.
