TWR-PXS2010: Power Architecture PXS20 Functional Safety MCU Tower System Module  Favorite



The TWR-PXS2010 is a development board for the PXS20 family of 32-bit Power Architecture® microcontrollers. It features the MPXS20VLQ120 device and targets industrial applications which require compliance with IEC 61508 (SIL 3) safety standard.

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.


Features


  • Dual e200z4 CPU architecture
  • Dual processing spheres including: CPU, DMA, interrupt controller, crossbar and MPU for logic level fault detection
  • Two statically configurable modes of operation:
    • Lockstep operation (redundant processing and calculations)
    • Dual parallel mode (independent core 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)
