We are proud to introduce to you the G30 SoC (System on Chip), the smallest and lowest cost NETMF (.NET Micro Framework) offer on the market today. Small and economical, yes, but the G30 SoC packs a whole load of features. Some of the features come from the standard NETMF libraries, such as File System, Threading, UART, SPI, I2C and many more. Other features come from the GHI Electronics’ libraries, such as Signal Capture, Signal Generate, PulseFeedback and many more. The base of the G30 SoC is ST Micros’ STM32F401. This 84Mhz Cortex-M4 micro has plenty of power to run plenty of tasks with very low power.
The G30 SoC comes in two footprints, a LQFP64 surface mount package and also on a circuit board in a DIP42 format, named G30HDR. The G30HDR includes the few required components, and even includes the micro USB connector. All that is needed is a 3.3V source and a USB cable to use the G30HDR.
But wait, there is even more good news! The G30 SoC is only $11.95 @ 100 pcs and the G30HDR is under $15 in single quantity. The G30 SoC will be available for sale in August however the G30HDR is available NOW, please get one and let us know what you think!
Last but not least, the G30 SoC is also chosen to be the “brain” of the BrainPad announced earlier.
