Low Power Embedded Platform based on Intel's XScale PXA255 and PXA270

At the size of a credit card, Fingertip3 is the smallest, lowest power embedded platform based on XScale. With Fingertip3, developers are no longer limited by the size of the embedded platform. Fingertip3 allows developers to create extremely small, ultra portable, low power handheld devices.

  • CPU - Intel XScale PXA255, up to 400MHz
  • Flash Memory - 16-32 MB, Intel StrataFlash with bootloader and on-board programming
  • SDRAM  - 32-64 MB with self-refresh

 

Intel's PXA 255 XScale CPU, providing up to 400MHz of processing power and consuming as low as 350mW

Designed for OEM developers of handheld devices who need the smallest, lowest power consumption platform possible Fingertip3 is based on Intel's PXA 255 XScale CPU, providing up to 400MHz of processing power and consuming as low as 350mW. With a minimum input voltage requirement of just 3.6VDC, Fingertip reduces battery size requirements and supports an array of standard peripherals and a variety of LCD displays through multiple on-board interfaces. Peripheral support has been extended with the addition of a Secure Digital slot (for SD memory cards) in addition to a compact flash slot, I²C, synchronous serial interface and a network synchronous serial port. 

Fingertip3 has been intelligently designed for full integration into custom products. The Fingertip3 Development Platform provides the starting point for Fingertip3-based designs and comes complete with all the hardware, software and documentation needed to start development. Engineering Services are also available for custom projects or packaging needs.
