Static RAM Memory

Expansion Kit

Another new product from Machine Intelligence Technologies is a memory expansion kit for the Parallax Propeller.

This memory expansion kit supports a five megabyte block transfer rate and can be used to store program overlays for the cogs, overlays for Spin code, and large, fast, bulk data access.

The Memory Expansion Kit expands the Propeller’s 32 Kb internal static RAM. It allows the Propeller to natively address from 512 Kb additional static RAM up to 16 Mb additional static RAM.

• There is minimum program overhead.

• It requires only four instructions per byte transferred.

• It boasts a transfer rate of 5 Mb per second.

• It can store anything from data to executable Spin programs to cog programs.

• It uses the Euro Card standard.

• It can store the 16 instruction RISC emulator package under development to run on the Propeller chip.

• It will support up to eight Propeller processors on our proprietary Corpus Collosum Bus (currently under development).

• All external devices such as memory, servos, gigabyte USB memory devices, etc., may be accessed from any Propeller chip in the system.

• Further development in the near future includes adding up to 16 gigabytes of non-volatile RAM accessed via USB 2.0.
