Kit Overview

 

The Freescale's TWR-PXN20-KITTWR-PXN20-KIT is part of the Freescale Tower System portfolio, a modular development platform that enables rapid prototyping and tool re-use through reconfigurable hardware. Elevate your design to the next level with this industrial powerhouse by building your Tower System today. The TWR-PXN20-KITTWR-PXN20-KIT Tower System module kit consist of TWR-PXN20TWR-PXN20 board module with tower system Serial Module TWR-SERTWR-SER  and Tower System Elevator Module TWR-ELEV.TWR-ELEV.

 

The Freescale's TWR-PXN20TWR-PXN20 is a modular development platform that enables rapid prototyping and tool re-use through reconfigurable hardware. Elevate your design to the next level with this industrial power house by building your Tower System today. The 32-bit dual core PXN20 Power ArchitectureRegistered microcontrollers support a variety of communication protocols, allowing the designer to put together a cost effective, reliable industrial gateway with cutting-edge performance. A large amount of on-chip flash, on-chip SRAM with error correction code capability, 36-channel ADC, dual cores and a host of serial I/Os make the PXN20 a compelling solution for your next design cycle.

 

PXN20 Optimized for communication data management

  • 592 KB embedded RAM, split into two blocks to allow concurrent access by bus masters
  • Floating point unit for precise computatations
  • 2 MB on-chip flash
  • Additional e200z0 core to preprocess incoming communication data from Ethernet or other protocols
