Introduction
The Conexant™ CX82100 Home Network Processor (HNP) is a single-chip, 185 MIPS high performance, ARM940T-based processor integrated with multiple network interface hardware functions and packaged into a 196-pin FPBGA. Embedded firmware supports complete networking system solutions in a wide variety of commercial, industrial, business, SOHO, and home applications with appropriate host software.

FEATUREs
