CSX700 Processor Product Brief
The CSX architecture is engineered to solve the Size, Weight, and Power problem in embedded computing. It provides the best performance per watt in the industry for digital signal processing (DSP) and other compute intensive tasks.

By integrating processing, system interfaces and on-chip memory the CSX700 brings cost, reliability and performance advantages that address leading edge embedded system requirements.

Designed for low power consumption, the CSX700 combines clock gating techniques, custom silicon design and low operating frequency. Simple clock management enables maximum application performance within defined power and thermal limits.
