Small-sized and inexpensive, this are the special characteristics of the new product family PicoMOD.
As with product family NetDCU more pin-compatible modules with more or less powerfull RISC-CPU’s will follow.
The idea behind PicoMOD is using the conecpt of a NetDCU and removing all hardware which does not need a direct CPU interface (i.e. RS232 level shifters) and replacing the 2.54mm connectors by a single connector. That means usage of PicoMOD is nearly as easy as using NetDCU. Only the design of the base-board is a little bit more complex, but a compact size can be achieved.
