Teensy 4.0 Development Board

Description

The Teensy 4.0 features an ARM Cortex-M7 processor at 600 MHz, with an NXP iMXRT1062 chip, the fastest microcontroller available today – ten times faster than the Teensy 3.2! The NXP iMXRT1062 is a ‘cross-over’ processor, which has the functionality of a microcontroller, at the speeds of a microcomputer. It’s perfect for when you need tons of flash, and RAM to crunch lots of data, or two full-speed USB ports. It even has a graphics processor! All this for two sawbucks.

When running at 600 MHz, Teensy 4.0 consumes approximately 100 mA current.

Teensy 4.0 provides support for dynamic clock scaling. Unlike traditional microcontrollers, where changing the clock speed causes wrong baud rates and other issues, Teensy 4.0 hardware and Teensyduino’s software support for Arduino timing functions are designed to allow dynamic speed changes. Serial baud rates, audio streaming sample rates, Arduino functions like delay() and Millis (), and Teensyduino’s extensions like IntervalTimer and elapsedMillis, continue to work correctly while the CPU changes speed.

Teensy 4.0 also provides a power shut-off feature. By connecting a pushbutton to the On/Off pin, the 3.3V power supply can be entirely disabled by holding the button for 5 seconds and turned back on with a brief button press. If a coin cell is connected to VBAT, Teensy 4.0’s RTC also continues to keep track of date & time while the power is off.

Teensy 4.0 also can also be overclocked, well beyond 600 MHz!
