EnglishphyCORE-i.MX27
Overview
The i.MX27 (ARM926EJ-S™core) processor is designed for true high definition video with its H.264 hardware codec for D1 high resolution video processing. An Ethernet 10/100 MAC, security, plug-and-play connectivity, and more power management features makes this module an excellent choice for video and voice over Internet Protocol (V2IP) cordless and mobile phones, intelligent remote controls, point-of-sale terminals and many other wireless applications.
The phyCORE-i.MX27 is a subminiature (84 x 60 mm) insert-ready System on Module populated with the Freescale i.MX27 microcontroller. Its universal design enables its insertion in a wide range of embedded applications. All controller signals and ports extend from the controller to high-density pitch (0.635 mm) connectors aligning two sides of the board, allowing it to be plugged like a "big chip" into a target application.
