Floating Point Co-Processor uM-FPU v3.1 SOIC

The new uM-FPU v3.1 by Micromega has all the proven features of the v3 with some interesting new GPS NMEA string parsing features. The uM-FPU v3.1 chip interfaces to virtually any microcontroller using a SPI, I2C, or serial interface, making it ideal for applications requiring floating point math, including sensor readings, robotic control, GPS, data transformations and other embedded control applications. The uM-FPU v3.1 chip supports 32-bit IEEE 754 compatible floating point and 32-bit integer operations. The uM-FPU v3.1 is RoHS compliant, operates from a 2.7V, 3.3V or 5V supply, and is available in 18-pin DIP, SOIC-18 or QFN-44 packages.

Interface examples are available for BASIC Stamp, Javelin, PICAXE, 16F87x, ARMmite, and ARMexpress controllers.

Floating Point Co-Processor uM-FPU v3.1 SOIC Product Help and Resources

Core Skill: Soldering

This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.

3 Soldering

Skill Level: Competent - You will encounter surface mount components and basic SMD soldering techniques are required.
See all skill levels

Core Skill: Programming

If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.

3 Programming

Skill Level: Competent - The toolchain for programming is a bit more complex and will examples may not be explicitly provided for you. You will be required to have a fundamental knowledge of programming and be required to provide your own code. You may need to modify existing libraries or code to work with your specific hardware. Sensor and hardware interfaces will be SPI or I2C.
See all skill levels

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.

3 Electrical Prototyping

Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current.

    NB - this product comes marked as a Microchip dsPIC (the ones I have here are dsPIC30F3012). This confused the heck out of me, but I guess it turns out these FPUs are implemented in a dsPIC. Crazy!
