Overview
1.1 Introduction
The PXD10 family represents a new generation of 32-bit microcontrollers based on the Power
Architecture^®. These devices provide a cost-effective, single chip display solution for the industrial
market. An integrated TFT driver with digital video input ability from an external video source, significant
on-chip memory, and low power design methodologies provide flexibility and reliability in meeting
display demands in rugged environments. The advanced processor core offers high performance
processing optimized for low power consumption, operating at speeds as high as 64 MHz. The family itself
is fully scalable from 512 KB to 1 MB internal flash memory. The memory capacity can be further
expanded via the on-chip QuadSPI serial flash controller module.
The PXD10 platform has a single level of memory hierarchy and supports a wide range of on-chip SRAM
and internal flash memories. The 1 MB flash memory version (PXD1010) outlined in detail within this
document features 160 KB of on-chip graphics SRAM to buffer cost-effective color TFT displays driven
via the on-chip Display Control Unit (DCU). Refer to Table 1-1, Table 1-2, and Table 1-3 for specific
memory and feature sets of the product family members.
The PXD10 family benefits from the extensive development infrastructure for Power Architecture
devices, which is already well established. This includes full support from available software drivers,
operating systems, and configuration code to assist with users’ implementations. See Section 1.6,
Developer environment, for more information.
