With a smaller footprint than a credit card and inexpensive (available from sub-$50 prices for volume orders), the Armcore-GX is ideal for integration into handheld and mobile applications, providing a powerful computing core.
In fact, based on Intel's XScale architecture, the Armcore-GX provides a price/performance ratio significantly better than those provided by X86-compatible solutions.
The feature set of the Armcore-GX module combines a 32bit CPU, SDRAM, Flash disk and vital computing peripherals.
For embedded applications, the Armcore-GX provides a 32bit PCIbus, 100Mbit/s Ethernet, serial ports, general purpose I/O lines and many other essential functions.
Standardised CAMI (CompuLab's Aggregated Module Interface) connectors on the Armcore-GX module allow interchangeability with other Core modules, enabling the flexibility required in a dynamic market where application requirements can change rapidly.
The Armcore-GX comprises an Intel PXA255 CPU up to 400MHz with an integrated graphics controller, SDRAM, Flash disk, PCMCIA interface, 100Mbit/s Ethernet, USB, sound, touchscreen controller, serial ports, infra-red interface, general purpose I/O, real-time clock, PS/2 keyboard and mouse controller, parallel port, and interfaces to floppy and hard disks.
Many of these features are optional and are included according to the application's requirements.
The Armcore-GX provides a local bus as well as PCI and LPC buses for interface to off-board expansions.
The module is designed for mezzanine attachment to a custom baseboard via two miniature 140-pin connectors. Request a free brochure from Anders Electronics ...
