TWR-PXS2010-KIT

The TWR-PXS2010-KIT is a tower system kit for power architecture PXS20 functional safety microcontroller. The PXS20 microcontrollers are system on chip devices that are built on power architecture technology and contain enhancements that improve the architecture's fit in embedded applications, include additional instruction support for digital signal processing (DSP) and integrate technologies such as an enhanced time processor unit, enhanced queued ADC, CAN, and an enhanced modular input output system. The PXS20 reduces design complexity and component count by putting key functional safety features on a single chip with a dual core, dual issue architecture, which can be statically switched between lockstep mode (redundant processing and calculations) to decoupled parallel mode. The TWR-PXS2010 operates as a standalone debug tool and can also be combined and used as part of the modular tower system development platform.

• Dual e200z4 CPU architecture
• Dual processing spheres
• Two statically configurable modes of operation
• Fault collection unit, which monitors and manages fault events
• Error correction coding on RAM and flash memory allows detection/correction of memory errors
• Designed to address safety requirements outlined in IEC 61508 (SIL3)
• A safe assure solution

Applications
