Sparkfun launched the MicroMod Interface Ecosystem, a modular ecosystem of interchangeable processors and specialized carrier boards, in late 2020, to provide users with a solder-free rapid prototyping platform aimed at making the transition from prototypes to products easier and faster. The ecosystem has experienced tremendous success with new MicroMod Processor Boards, offering plug and play capability for different processors and MCUs released every now and then. The latest addition to the family is the Sparkfun MicroMod Teensy Processor.
Developed in partnership with PJRC, which owns the Teensy Trademark, the Sparkfun MicroMod Teensy processor, brings the awesome computing power of the NXP iMXRT1062 processor, which we’ve all come to love from the experience with the Teensy 4.0, to the Sparkfun’s Micromod family.
Thanks to the NXP iMXRT1062, the Sparkfun MicroMod Teensy Processor features an ARM Cortex-M7 processor operating at clock speeds up to 600MHz, with 16MB Flash Memory, and 1024K of RAM Memory. To allow full utilization of the huge processing power, the MicroMod Teensy Processor board comes with a total of seven serial UART ports, four I2C buses, two SPI ports, CAN-Bus, 12 GPIO, dedicated digital, analog, and PWM pins, digital audio, and USB Host and Device capability at speeds of up to 480Mbit/s.
Feeling like you’d need more? well, one of the many great things about the iMXRT1062 is that many of its pins support multiple signal types, so you can customize them to meet the needs of your project.
