Design Analysis Associates Inc. announces high performance embedded i960Hx CPU Module.LOGAN, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 1996-- Module also serves as stand-alone evaluation platform Design Analysis Associates Inc., announces an embedded i960Hx CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. module for applications requiring high performance and small size. The module is based on Intel's i960Hx architecture in a 168-pin socketed PGA (1) (Professional Graphics Adapter) An early IBM PC display standard for 3D processing with 640x480x256 resolution. It was not widely used. (2) (Programmable Gate Array) See gate array and FPGA. package. Single, double and triple core speed processors are available providing performance to more than 150MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. The module can also serve as a stand-alone evaluation platform for the i960Hx family of processors. The module contains 256Kbytes of 0-wait state synchronous burst SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory , 128Kbytes of in system programmable FLASH memory, a console serial port with RS-232 line interface and CPLD (Complex PLD) A programmable logic device that is made up of several simple PLDs (SPLDs) with a programmable switching matrix in between the logic blocks. CPLDs typically use EEPROM, flash memory or SRAM to hold the logic design interconnections. See PLD and SPLD. memory/peripheral controller. Two 100-pin connectors provide external access to the microprocessor buses, interrupt lines, memory and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output control, and spare signals which may be programmed by the user for custom OEM applications. With these elements designed onto the module, developers may quickly and easily use the module for their specific application, easily adding any additional functionality if needed. The module comes with a retargeted version of the MON960 Debug Monitor loaded in FLASH memory. The monitor allows you to perform such functions as display and change memory and registers, disassemble memory, download user programs into memory, trace values, set breakpoints, etc. A FLASH memory loader is also provided. An on-board electrically erasable CPLD can be modified for OEM developers desiring a prototype development platform and customization. The module is powered from a single +5V power supply. An on-board voltage regulator powers the i960Hx processor with the required 3.3V. The module measures 3.4" x 5.3" x 1.4" (including heat sinks). OEM quantity pricing starts below $600 ea.
