CF950 and CB950
Mobile Data
The advent of mobile data solutions is rapidly expanding the
market for plug in cards for Mac, PC and Handheld computers.
The CF and CB 950 provide a simple single chip solution for
designers, and production engineers adapting radios to the wide
variety of plug in cards and operating software platforms.
Two Chips Four Solutions
The CF950 provides 8 bit bus support for 3V PCMCIA and
Compact Flash ports found in many PDAs and PC's. Optimised
to save space the CF950 is available in a 48 TQFP and BGA
package options
A 32bit bus on the CB950 supports embedded Mini PCI and
Card Bus. Packaged in an ultra thin 100-pin TQFP it can be
offered as a factory fit install or used for Mac and PC cards.
The Oxford UART
Both the CF and CB950 use Oxfords 950 UART technology
found in several million serial ports today. The 950 has a deep
FIFO structure with programmable fill level indicators, reducing
CPU accesses and thus system power. The 550
compatible register set simplifies driver development and
support.
Simple Personalisation
A external EEPROM enables card personality data to be added
via a simple programming tool (OXPROM).
Reference Design and Driver support
A comprehensive set of reference designs, boards and
schematics are available. Both the CF and CB950 can use
existing 550 compatible UART drivers. Alternatively Oxford has
driver code supporting a number of Microsoft and Apple
platforms, allowing custom embedded driver support to be
quickly developed.
