FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EMAC INTRODUCES A SYSTEM ON MODULE
INTERNET APPLIANCE ENGINE BASED ON THE MC9S12NE64 PROCESSOR

Carbondale, Illinois, September 14, 2008 - EMAC, Inc., announces the SoM-NE64M , a 16-bit System on Module (SoM) based on the Freescale Coldfire MC9S12NE64 processor. This 16-bit 68HC12 compatible processor has an Ethernet MAC and PHY built-in along with 2 serial ports. It Features 64 KB of Flash (enough to hold large applications), 32 KB of EEPROM and 8 KB of RAM. Another 512 KB of RAM can be added as an option.

EMAC has incorporated all of this functionality on to a board smaller than a business card and using less than a watt of power. Applications for the SoM-NE64 can be programmed using GNU tools within an Eclipse IDE. Alternatively the SoM-NE64 can be programmed using Code Warrior.

Like other modules in EMAC's SoM product line, the SoM-NE64M is designed to plug into a Carrier board containing all the connectors and any additional I/O components that may be required. This approach allows the customer or EMAC to design a Custom Carrier Board, that meets the customer's I/O, dimensional, and connector requirements without having to worry about the processor, memory, and standard I/O functionality. Since the module itself has more functionality built in than many other SoM designs, the carrier board can be much easier to design and produce, lowering cost and time to market.

In addition to the option of the developing a Carrier board, one can be purchased off-the-shelf from EMAC. EMAC provides off-the-shelf Carrier boards that feature A/D, D/A, MMC/SD card, keypad, LCD, and modem interfaces. The System On Module approach provides the flexibility of a fully customized product at a greatly reduced cost.

The SoM-NE64M is ideal for any Web/Network Data Acquisition and Control application. The price of the SoM-NE64M is $67.00 USD at quantity one. For additional information go to: http://www.emacinc.com/som/somne64.htm.
