For 16-bit XA microcontrollers, with PC/104 interface
The Philips XA series of microcontrollers has been available since 1996. These microcontrollers, which were originally presented as 16-bit versions of the famous 80C32, are more than just successor versions. They have much more to offer than their 8-bit cousins.In the beginning, the eXtended Architecture (XA) family of microcontrollers had only one member: the XA-G3 (introduced in 1996), with 32 KB of internal memory. In response to repeated requests, less expensive types with smaller amounts of memory were introduced in 1997, consisting of the XA-G1 (8 KB) and the XA-G2 (16 KB). The ‘G’ in these type numbers refers to the general-purpose nature of these models (with the same pinout as the 80C32).
Gerber file
CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.
Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.
