Intel E6xx
Description
The Intel® Atom™ Processor E6x5C Series product line is a Multi-Chip Package (MCP) that integrates the Intel Atom Processor E6xx Series LPIA1-class IA CPU with an Altera® Arria® II GX FPGA. The FPGA delivers exceptional flexibility to customers wanting to incorporate unique I/O interfaces and acceleration for diverse embedded applications. The Intel Atom Processor E6x5C Series is available from Intel Corporation.
The inherent flexibility of an FPGA allows embedded designers to rapidly re-target Intel Atom Processor E6x5C Series designs to different market segments or address fragmented market segments in which the volumes may not justify a full custom ASIC development. Embedded designers using Intel Atom Processor E6x5C Series can address a wide range of markets including transportation, energy, industrial control, medical, and military.
The FPGA featured in Intel Atom Processor E6x5C Series is designed using Altera’s Quartus® II Software Subscription Edition. The FPGA portion of the Intel Atom Processor E6x5C Series enables customers to implement I/O functionality for a particular segment yielding a system-on-package (SoP) solution or implement acceleration functionality that provides value to a specific segment.
