SBC Module Description

The phyCORE-LPC3250 is an ARM-9 based, small form factor, OEMable module populated with the NXP LPC3250. State-of-the-art power management, Vector Floating Point Unit (VFP), and rich peripherals such as USB OTG, Ethernet, and integrated LCD controller make this module the ideal candidate for embedded applications requiring high performance and low power consumption. The on-board MMU supports major operating systems, including Linux and Windows Embedded CE. 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.

The phyCORE SBC module is designed to plug into a PHYTEC Carrier Board that provides the I/O connectors as well as any other interface circuitry not provided on the phyCORE module itself. The phyCORE module, combined with the PHYTEC Carrier Board, provides a platform to jump start embedded designs and propel concept to prototype and finished product.

The phyCORE-LPC3250 Rapid Development Kit includes the module and Carrier Board, 3.5" color LCD with integrated touch, electronic documentation, power supply and all cables required to enable users to successfully set-up target hardware and immediately begin application development.

In addition to Windows Embedded CE R2 and Linux support, the phyCORE-LPC3250 will be available in kits featuring the Keil and IAR industry-standard C compilers and embedded development environments.
