AMD Élan


AMD Élan is a family of 32-Bit embedded SoCs marketed by AMD based on x86 microprocessors. All of these products have been backed with a long-term supply guarantee to meet the needs of embedded processors. However, when AMD acquired the Geode division from National Semiconductor in August 2003, the product was suddenly discontinued. [1]
SC3xx family
The SC300 and SC310 combine a 32-Bit, x86 compatible, low-voltage 25 MHz or 33 MHz Am386SX CPU with memory controller, PC/AT peripheral controllers, real-time clock, PLL clock generators and ISA bus interface. SC300 integrates in addition two PCMCIA 2.1 slots and a CGA-compatible LCD controller. Power consumption at 33 MHz was only 600 mW including CPU, memory controller and peripherals. In suspend mode consumption reduces to 0.17 mW.[2][3][4][1] The low budget 9.7" laptop Brother GeoBook NB60 uses a SC300[5]
SC4xx family
The SC400 and SC410 combine a 32-Bit, x86 compatible, low-voltage 33 MHz, 66 MHz or 100 MHz Am486 CPU with memory controller, PC/AT peripheral controllers, real-time clock, PLL clock generators, VESA Local Bus and ISA bus interface. SC400 integrates in addition two PCMCIA 2.1 slots and a 4-bit color Super-twisted nematic display (STN) LCD controller.[6] The C64 "Web.it" Internet Computer uses a SC400 with 16 MB of RAM, a 3.5" floppy disk drive, 56k-modem and PCMCIA. [7] The AirPort Base Station uses a SC410[8], the Nokia 9000 Communicator a SC450.[9]
SC5xx family
The SC520 combines a 32 bit, x86 compatible, low-voltage 100 MHz or 133 MHz Am5x86 CPU with memory controller, PC/AT peripheral controllers, real-time clock and PCI bus. ISA and PCMCIA were no longer supported.[10]
