With the EP440xS board Embedded Planet has demonstrated the flexibility and performance of the 440EPx processor

The integrated I/O and memory interfaces on the 440EPx processor allow system designers to create very small, power efficient, yet feature rich designs.

"With the EP440xS board Embedded Planet has demonstrated the flexibility and performance of the 440EPx processor," said Charlie Ashton, Director of Software at AMCC. "The integrated I/O and memory interfaces on the 440EPx processor allow system designers to create very small, power efficient, yet feature rich designs."

At the heart of the EP440xS is the AMCC PowerPC 440EPx. The 440EPx is a highly integrated SoC that includes a PowerPC core at speeds up to 667MHz, a floating point unit, NAND flash controller, DDR2 RAM controller, USB 2.0 host and device controllers, and dual Gigabit Ethernet MACs. The high level of integration increases performance, while lowering system power consumption and cost.

The EP440xS is available immediately from Embedded Planet in its stock configuration and Embedded Planet can customize the board for small lot runs. Contact Embedded Planet at 216.245.4180 or visit our website at www.embeddedplanet.com for more details on the EP440xS configuration.
