ZULU Series
GPRS/UMTS/LTE ARM Cortex M4 Modem Range
with USB Serial Port Interface
System Overview
ARM Cortex M4 32bit Processor
The ZULU core is built around the ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor which
has been congured to offer the following features as standard:
»32bit CPU running at 168MHz (210DMIPS)
»Onboard 16Mbit ash storage
»192 Kbyte SRAM volatile memory
»Memory controller supporting: Compact Flash, Flash, SRAM, PSRAM, NOR, NAND memory
»1 x UART H/W port (supporting TX, RX, CTS, RTS) for connection to the outside world
»1 x RS232-SEL controller input to interface directly to the microprocessor or module from the
outside world
»1 x UART-Debug port (supporting TX, RX) for connection to the module
»1 x USB OTG port for connection to the outside world
»1 x USB host controller for high speed internal connection to the modem
»1 x high speed CAN interface
»1 x I2C bus
»1 x 1-wire bus
»5 x high speed GPI (0 - 42V tolerant)
»1 x ignition line (0 - 42V tolerant)
»4 x high speed GPO (0 - 42V driven output hardware controlled with Vcc_IO pin)
»2 x 12bit A/D converters (0 - 42V tolerant)
»2 x 12bit D/A converters
»Hardware cryptographic accelerator
»RTC and hardware watchdog timer
»Low power utilising sleep, stop and standby modes
»Internal JTAG interface for system debug and programming
This ZULU can be used in a number of applications, some examples are shown
below:
»V-Link232 Software (Wireless cable replacement using RS232 serial cable over
GPRS/3G)
»GPIO Monitor (Monitor/Set and report on GPIO status)
»Standard RS232 modem attached to equipment (Modem)
»V-LinkUSB Software (Wireless cable replacement using USB serial cable over
GPRS/3G)
