Vortex86DX2

The first-ever CPU with build-in Motion Control function.

Overview

Vortex86DX2 is a high performance and fully static 32-bit X86 processor with the compatibility of Windows based, Linux and most popular 32-bit RTOS.

Main Features

  • 32KB write through 4-way L1 cache
  • 256KB write through/write back 4-way L2 cache
  • PCIE bus in at 2.5 GHz
  • DDR2
  • ROM controller
  • ISA
  • I2C
  • SPL
  • IPC (Internal Peripheral Controllers with DMA and interrupt timer/counter included)
  • Fast Ethernet
  • FIFO UART
  • USB2.0 Host and IDE/SATA controller within a single 720-pin BGA package to form a system-on-a-chip (SOC)
It provides an ideal solution for the embedded system and communications products (such as thin client, NAT router, home gateway, access point and tablet PC) to bring about desired performance.
