OWER EQUIREMENTS The EPM-CPU-3 only requires +5 volts (±5%) for proper operation. The voltage required for the RS-232 ports is generated with an on-board DC/DC converter. A variable low-voltage supply circuit provides power to the CPU and other on-board devices.
The maximum clock rate is 133 MHz. The Am5x86 has 16 kb of unified cache that supports write-back and write-through policies. It is a high-performance 486 CPU achieving performance results equal to a Pentium 75. System RAM EMORY The EPM-CPU-3 has 64MB of SDRAM soldered on board. • Storage Capacity 64 MB •...
