<marketing> The RX is Renesas's latest chip offering, and they're trying to make it obsolete a wide range of other chips. So far so good. It's a 32-bit (16 general registers) risc/cisc hybrid that gets up to 165 DMIPS or 2.25 coremarks/mhz (with gcc, of course). The 62N comes with 512K of flash and 96k of ram, runs at 100 MHz, includes FPU, ethernet, usb, sdram, uart, TFT-dma, A/D, D/A, and a bunch of other things (motor control, spi, i2c, can, lin, interrupts, timers, etc), and still costs only $18 at digikey (they're available now). Available in 144 and 100 pin TQFP, plus 176, 145, and 84 pad BGA/LGA. The 610 ($23) has fewer peripherals (no enet/usb/sdram) but comes with up to 2mb flash and 128k ram. The 62T ($11) has less memory but extra timers for high-end motor control. They're planning on coming out with a RX-200 series in the future that will be smaller (down to 5x5mm) and cheaper. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Cat=2556109&k=rx600 </marketing> My board basically just hooked connectors up to all the RX62N's internal peripherals :-) > What size of 3AN are you using on it? Smallest - the XS3S50AN. The 3AN is only available in one configuration per package size; to get more blocks you need to get more pins (well, balls) also. I'm hoping the 50 is big enough to squeeze in all the logic I need, the next size up is BGA. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
