The Teensy 4.0 is the fastest microcontroller development board available, featuring an ARM Cortex-M7 processor running at 600MHz. Built around the NXP iMXRT1062 chip, it delivers exceptional performance in the compact Teensy form factor (35.6 × 17.8mm) while maintaining pin compatibility with Teensy 3.2.

Fully compatible with Arduino IDE through Teensyduino, with support for dynamic clock scaling, real-time clock with battery backup, and hardware floating-point for both 32-bit and 64-bit operations.

Key Features

• 600MHz ARM Cortex-M7 – Dual-issue superscalar processor with branch prediction
• 1024K Flash / 512K RAM – Tightly Coupled Memory for single-cycle access
