Catalyst TC Design-In Guide (rev 3 PDF 1510 kB)
This document describes the Catalyst TC module, its signals and connectors, and tips for integration into a custom carrier board design.
You will not need this document if you are using an off-the-shelf Catalyst/Atom product (e.g. Catalyst TC, Isis, Proteus, et al) in your application.
The Catalyst TC is a high-performance, low-power module based on the Intel® Atom™ E6xx processor. It uses an integrated two-chip solution comprised of the Intel Atom processor and Intel® Platform Controller Hub (Intel® PCH EG20T). The Intel Atom processor contains an integrated 2D/3D graphics engine supporting hardware-accelerated graphics display and video processing capabilities, while the Intel PCH EG20T supports extensive I/O and data storage capabilities. The Catalyst TC conforms to the same footprint as Eurotech’s Catalyst XL and Catalyst LP allowing existing customers to migrate to the Catalyst TC with minimal effort. The Catalyst TC allows embedded users to gain higher performance with greater energy efficiency.
An application-specific carrier board integrates with the Catalyst TC for a total production solution. This flexible, modular architecture enables easy customization and quick time-to-market. A Eurotech carrier board is available that implements several industry-standard interfaces allowing development across a broad spectrum of end-use applications.
The Catalyst TC is available with a variety of operating systems. Support is also available for the Java Virtual Machine and Eurotech’s Everyware™ Software Framework, which offers an easy-to-use, Java based development environment that minimizes time to market and allows for easy portability for future expansion.
