The Tini2131 controller comes in the popular Tini pinout format and is based on the Philips ARM LPC2131. The LPC2131 has 32-KB flash memory and 8-KB RAM. It has on-board regulation, reset circuitry, RS-232 conversion, and three user programmable indicator LEDs. The Tini2131 has 16 of the I/O pins of the LPC2131 brought out and separate I²C connections for networking. The 16-shared I/O pins include two 32-bit timers, PWM, and two serial ports that can be UARTS, I²C, or SPI. There are even up to eight channels of 10-bit A/D. Code can be currently be developed in GCC using Eclipse in the same way as the original TiniARM, as well as having leading software tool chains from companies like Keil Software.

It’s small size (1² × 1.3²) allows it to be a tightly integrated solution to robotics, motion, automotive, and industrial control, as well as the capability of being used in networking and data-logging applications. A Tini2131 development kit with the serial cable, power supply and proto-development board is also available.

As an introductory offer, a free Keil demo CD is available upon request. The Tini2131 costs $29.
