SBC Module Description
The phyCORE-ARM9/LPC3180 supports the industry's first 90nm ARM9-based microcontroller. The 32-bit MCU high-performance, low power LCP3180 ARM926EJ-S device from NXP Semiconductors (founded by Philips) provides a vector floating-point co-processor and integrated USB OTG, as well as the ability to operate in ultra-low-power mode down to 0.9V. The on-board MMU supports major operating systems, including Linux which is the leading major embedded OS. Other chip-level features include 7 UARTs, SPI, I2C, a real-time clock with a separate power domain, and NAND Flash and DDR memory controllers. These features make the devices particularly suitable for automotive and industrial control applications as well as medical systems.
Processor Details
The phyCORE-ARM9/LPC3180 supports the NXP Semiconductors (founded by Philips) LPC3180 controller.
SBC Module Features
