Connect One provides reference designs for its chips to operate in Serial or Parallel mode with a host processor, and to connect to a dial-up or wireless modem, an 802.11b Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) Compact Flash card, or a 10BaseT or 10/100BaseT Ethernet controller. In this section, you will find reference designs including a description, schematics and bills of material detailing how to connect iChip to your host processor, as well as how to connect iChip to your chosen communication peripheral.
Acting as a coprocessor, Connect One's iChip Internet Controller offloads Internet connectivity tasks from a host processor. Upon receiving an AT+i command from the host application, iChip takes control over the communication platform putting it into Internet communication mode. Typical engineering time to design iChip into your board and to add the AT+i commands to your application is one-to-two man-months.
