The Tower System

Tower System

The NXP Tower System is a modular development platform for 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers that enables advanced development through rapid prototyping. Featuring multiple development boards or modules, the Tower System provides designers with building blocks for entry-level to advanced microcontroller development.

Interchangeable and reusable modules along with open source design files make it easy to customize your design and reduce low level design giving you more time to focus on differentiated solutions.

Features Benefits
Small Form Factor
(3.5”H x 3.5” W x 3.5” D when fully assembled)
Takes small amount of space on desk or work station
Controller Modules (8-, 16-, 32-bit)  
Works stand-alone or as part of Tower System Allows rapid prototyping
Features new Open Source BDM (OSBDM) Provides easy programming and debugging via mini-B USB cable
Elevator Modules  
Two 2x80 connectors Provides easy signal access and side-mounting board (i.e. LCD module)
Power regulation circuitry Provides power to all boards
Standardized signal assignments Allows for customized peripheral module development
Four card-edge connectors available

Allows easy expansion using PCI Express connectors (x16, 90mm/3.5” long, 164 pins)

Peripheral Modules  
Can be re-used with all Tower System MCU/MPU modules Eliminates the need to buy/develop redundant hardware
Interchangeable peripheral modules – Serial, Memory, Graphical LCD, 802.11b WiFi, etc. Enables advanced development and broad functionality
