2.7 Architecture overview
The Embedded PCs of the CX51x0 family all have the same architecture. This is described below.
The CX51x0 Embedded PCs are based on the Intel Atom microarchitecture, which was developed by Intel.
The CPUs used in the CX51x0 family are:
• Intel
®
Atom
TM
E3815 (Singlecore)
• Intel
®
Atom
TM
E3827 (Dualcore)
• Intel
®
Atom
TM
E3845 (Quadcore)
In addition to the arithmetic unit, the CPU also contains the memory controller and the graphics controller.
The processors use the Intel
®
HD Graphics core. For details on the CPUs please refer to Intel. The memory
is connected directly to the CPU. The EPC is available in two memory configurations: 2 GB and 4 GB DDR3
RAM. The memory is not expandable and must be ordered ex factory.
The CPU provides all required interfaces:
• 1 PCIe lane for each of the two Intel
®
i210 Gigabit Ethernet controllers
• 4x USB 2.0 (interfaces)
• DVI-I and DVI-D interface (second interface optional in CX51x0-N010)
• Serial interface (CX51x0-N03x)
• 1 PCIe for FPGA for K-/E-bus and NOV-RAM
• 1 SATA for CFast card interface
• 1 IDE for Micro SD card interface
