Ramtron Elevator Cab Produkttechnik Thermal Printer series performance

World-leading non-volatile ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) and integrated semiconductor product developers and suppliers Ramtron Analysys Corporation (Ramtron) and German cab Produkttechnik GmbH & Co Kg announces that the Ramtron fm31l278 F-ram Processor Companion brings a superior advantage to users of the CAB's latest EOS thermal label Printer series.

Ramtron's 256,000-bit (Kb) fm31l278 Processor Companion's design takes into account industrial electronic metrology, electronic point-of-sale (POS) and inventory management product applications, fast read/write performance and unlimited durability of nonvolatile f-ram memory, integrated real-time clocks in a single package, Processor monitors and other common peripherals. The CAB EOS printer leverages the advantages of the fm31l278 device to provide high accuracy, operational continuity, and ease of control, effectively improving the experience of the cab user.

Using a handy touchscreen is a key feature of the CAB EOS series printer. With the touch screen, users can easily pull up existing tags, add data and print, and all operations need not be connected to the computer. In addition, all tags can be stored in a USB memory stick or in the internal memory of the printer, which is a cost-effective and modern solution for production, logistics, and retail label printing.

"Ramtron is our key partner in providing the most innovative thermal printing solutions," said Jörg Falkenberg, cab research and development manager. The Ramtron device combines high-performance non-volatile F-ram memory and other basic peripherals in a single package to simplify our design and provide a platform for our robust performance in our products. ”

Scott Emley, vice president of global marketing at Ramtron, said: "We attach great importance to this opportunity to work with the cab to provide a full-featured integrated IC solution for its innovative thermal printer design." Our mission is to provide competitive devices to our customers, and the CAB EOS printer is an inspirational design and a perfect example of the results of our F-ram semiconductor solutions. ”

The F-ram memory embedded in the Ramtron fm31l278 device is written fast enough that the printer that performs the task at 300dpi up to 125mm/s can save the label settings so that the printer does not waste any labels when it restarts after a power outage. fm31l278 avoids the waste of labels and associated costs, and increases the amount of processing for a cab EOS printer.

Restart work automatically

In addition to saving the label settings, the fm31l278 internal F-ram storage allows users to quickly and completely delete the state of the buffer memory in the printer and start a new printer task without affecting the new label printing. To accomplish this, the CAB uses the tamper-protected input function of fm31l278 to count and interrupt the host, while using the unique fast write capability of the F-ram memory to quickly write zeros to the buffer memory.

Other features of fm31l278 for printers

Cab EOS is a networked printer that requires each printer to have a unique serial number that distinguishes it from the printer network. In addition, each printer has a real-time clock that can be accessed from the touch screen, which makes it easy to print time and date on each label. FM31L278 Processor Partners are able to achieve these advantages with write-locked 64-bit programmable serial numbers, real-time clocks, and numerous other features including low voltage reset, watchdog timer, power fault alert, and simple I²c interface.

About fm31l278 Processor Companion

The Ramtron processor companion is equipped with a standard I²C interface and SPI interface, with no delayed write (nodelay™), almost unlimited durability, and low power characteristics. FM31L278 has an enhanced trickle charger, a 12.5pF external clock oscillator, programmable low VDD voltage Reset, programmable watchdog timer, manual reset function, dual battery-powered event counter, lockable serial number, and universal comparator for early warning outages (NMI). The operating voltage range of fm31l278 is 2.7 to 3.6V and can be worked throughout the industrial temperature range. The Ramtron can also provide 3V and 5V processor partners of 64Kb and 256Kb density. To learn more about Ramtron's full range of processor partner products, visit the company Web page.
