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 Architecture® 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
