The PXN20 products are designed to address the need
for single chip industrial networking applications and are
tailored to address the need for high performance and
high memory size while keeping the power consumption
low. Their core and bus architecture offer high

performance processing optimized for managing
intensive data exchanges between different types of
communication protocols. It capitalizes on the available
development infrastructure of current Power

Architecture devices and will be supported with
software drivers and an operating system to assist with
users implementations.
The PXN20 devices have two levels of memory
hierarchy, a 32 KB unified cache, and 2 MB of internal
flash. The PXN20 has 592 KB on-chip L2 SRAM and
