The ModularIQ core boards cover a wide range of performance and applications. The core board processors range from simple 8-bit microcontrollers in the single digit MHz-range to densely featured 32-bit processors in the several hundreds MHz range. All core boards have a set of module ports that can be filled with your selection of function modules. A small selection of our core boards are featured below. The large and constantly expanding array of core boards and compatible modules is always available through the Full product lists and in BoardBuilder™.




The ATmega1280 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATmega1280 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
