Preeminent news from Logic IO!
 In
this newsletter, we have the rare honor of introducing a brand new product
series based on an entirely new hardware platform coined the
LX hardware architecture!
The primary motivation for a new hardware architecture is to
push the boundaries of the functionality, power, and flexibility of
RTCU devices at a given price level. The RTCU LX5
series is the first member of the LX family - but certainly
not the last!

introducing the RTCU LX5 series, we
are excited to announce a new RTCU NX-200
variant called the RTCU NX-200 DR.
This device supports Automotive Dead Reckoning
(ADR),
offering unprecedented
GNSS performance in difficult
environments, such as in an urban jungle with high-rise buildings,
tunnels, etc.
There is full support for the ADR
functionality in the latest firmware and RTCU
IDE, including the configuration of wheel-tick input, etc.
Please refer to the product page for the
RTCU NX-200 DR.
The
RTCU LX5 pro and the
RTCU LX5 eco are the
very first members in the new cost-effective LX
generation of RTCU devices that combines the powerful
NX32L architecture from devices such as the
RTCU NX-200
with the hardware simplicity and cost-level of devices such
as the RTCU CX1.
With the LX hardware architecture, the
RTCU LX5 series offers an unprecedented balance between price
and performance and is at the same time positioned for a broad range of
automotive and industrial Internet of Things applications.
