Enhanced Serial (Dual Ethernet, High-Speed USB) Tower System Module
The TWR-SER2 module is part of the NXP Tower System, a modular development platform that enables rapid prototyping and tool re-use through reconfigurable hardware. Take your design to the next level and begin constructing your Tower System today.
The TWR-SER2 serial module enables high-speed connectivity through dual Ethernet and high-speed USB. This peripheral module provides Tower System designs with additional interfaces that are commonly required by feature-rich microprocessors (MPU), including USB and dual-Ethernet, along with traditional CAN and RS485 features.
Simply connect this module to your MPU-based Tower System, along with any other peripheral modules needed for your application design, and get started designing quickly and easily.The TWR-SER2 module is designed to be combined and used with other microcontroller and peripheral modules in the Tower System.
The TWR-SER2 module utilizes an industrial applicable National Semiconductor Dual Ethernet PHY Transceiver (DP83849I). The DP83849I features two fully independent 10/100 ports for multi-port applications. The TWR-SER2 is capable of supporting a single MII interface, a single RMII interface, or dual RMII interfaces.The TWR-SER2 features two expansion card-edge connectors that interface to Elevator boards in a Tower System.
Key Applications: Connectivity, Consumer, Industrial, Medical/Health Care, Motor Control
