MX Module Series

MX ModuleThe MX Module Series of embedded controller modules provides a robust platform for any embedded product.  These compact (65x55mm) inter-changeable modules all conform to the MX Interface Specification allowing processing power and module cost to scale with product needs.

Kick-Start Firmware Development

Firmware development can start immediately using the sample firmware projects.  This includes royalty free USB and TCP/IP stacks (for modules with those ports).  Quickly add your own custom application code and save months of development.

 

MX Module Overview

 

Simplify Hardware Development

 

Each MX module provides the core system resources for today's embedded products.  High-speed communications (ethernet and USB) as well as core memory resources are included on each module.  Custom targets can often be implemented using inexpensive 2-layer PCB's to match the mechanical and low-speed I/O requirements of the particular application.

 

Integration and Reduced Time to Market

 

The MX Module Series is ideally suited to prototyping systems and integration into OEM devices requiring USB and/or ethernet interfaces.  Take advantage of pre-engineered modules (both hardware and firmware) and get your product to market faster.

 

Overview

 

Each MX module fits into all targets designed to match the MX Module Interface Specification.  These modules are aimed at low- to mid-volume applications where a pre-engineered robust module will result in faster time-to-market and higher quality.

NOTE 1 :: RAM or EEPROM chips are options for the same footprint so external RAM and external EEPROM are not available simultaneously.

 

Targets

 

Application specific targets accept all MX modules. All MX Module I/O signals (except USB and ethernet) are available on 0.1" dual-row headers as well as bus specific connectors. USB and ethernet are available on dedicated connectors on the module (where applicable).
