Architecture overview

The Embedded PCs of the CX52x0 family all have the same architecture. This is described below.

The CX52x0 Embedded PCs are based on the Intel Atom microarchitecture, which was developed by Intel. The following CPUs are used:

• Intel^® Atom^TM x5-E3930 (dual-core)
• Intel^® Atom^TM x5-E3940 (quad-core)

In addition to the arithmetic unit, the CPU also contains the memory controller and the graphics controller. The processors use the Intel^® HD Graphics core. For details on the CPUs please refer to Intel. The memory is connected directly to the CPU. The Embedded PCs are available in two memory configurations: 4 GB and 8 GB DDR4-RAM. The memory is not extendable.

The CPU provides all required interfaces:

• 1 PCI lane for each of the two Intel^® i210 Gigabit Ethernet controllers
• 4x USB 3.0 (interfaces)
• DVI-D interface (second interface optional with CX52x0-N010)
• 1 PCIe for FPGA for K-/E-bus
• 1 SATA for CFast card interface
• 1 IDE for MicroSD card interface

The interfaces (USB, DVI, and LAN) are standard interfaces. Devices that meet the corresponding standard can be connected to and operated at these interfaces.
