The LX is a powerful x186 System-on-a-chip (SOC) that has many features which allows it to be used in embedded communication or co-processor applications. The extended x186 architecture allows for
up to 16M bytes of memory and executes most instructions in one clock cycle - 12.5MIPS.
The LX has a sister chip called the
DSTni EX
which is compatible and 3x faster with some different
peripherals. LX-001, GC-LX-001-LF, LX1000000-02R, LX1000000-03R.
APPLICATIONS:
The LX is perfect for embedded applications that require 10/100 Ethernet and other communication channels like CAN, SPI, or RS232 or RS422/485. With the
on-chip 256K bytes of RAM memory applications can be loaded from SPI serial Flash or external Flash/EPROM into the on-chip memory and execute with 0 wait state performance and no external memory devices. External memory can be added to support additional RAM or Flash for a total of up to 16M bytes. The on-chip
8K Dual port memory can be used to talk with a co-processor (DSP).
SOFTWARE STACKS:
The power of the DSTni chips is that they come with the
