TX51

TX51 - Freescales i.MX51 on a tiny footprint

The TX51 is built on the powerful Cortex A8 CPU i.MX51 of Freescale Semiconductor.

TX modules are complete computers, implemented on a board smaller than a credit card, and ready to be designed into your embedded system. TX modules includes an ARM processor, SDRAM and Flash memory. The integrated LCD-controller enables direct connection of an LCD screen, many different interfaces permit simple extension and integration into a target system. The TX51 is specifically targeted at embedded applications where high cpu-performance and low power consumption are critical factors.
