NetSilicon has released the first in a new series of small form factor 32-bit NET+ARM processors. The NS7520 processor, along NET+Works development tools, offers electronic products OEMs a low-cost option for network-enabling their products with a 33-55 MHz 177 pin BGA processor.

"NetSilicon is driving down the cost of network-enabling electronic products to costs comparable to 16-bit processors, but with the advantages of 32-bit performance and programmability," said Bruce Berger, general manager, NetSilicon. "NET+Works, our royalty-free development and run-time environment, enables designers to easily bring IP networking to their products. When used as the core processor in electronic products, the incremental cost of network enablement is less than US$5 for the PHY, RJ45 connector, and passives."
The NS7520 provides a means for electronics OEMs to quickly and cost-effectively give intelligent networking capability to products like industrial automation systems, building and access controls, office appliances, POS systems, medical devices, etc.
NET+Works for the NS7520 includes a full suite of development tools and networking software. Developers have a choice of NET+Works with Green Hills Multi-2000 support or MicroCross GNU tools.
