DA-660-8/16-CE User’s Manual  Introduction 
Overview 
The DA-660 WinCE embedded computer is ideal for reliable, small-footprint, programmable, 
communication-centric applications. DA-660 uses an Intel XScale IXP-422 RISC-based CPU 
running at a clock rate of 266 MHz. Unlike the CISC architecture under an X86 CPU, the RISC 
design supports compact instruction sets. A RISC-based CPU generates less heat and consequently 
enhances reliability. To provide sufficient data storage and run-time memory for your applications, 
DA-660 integrates 32 MB of Flash memory and 128 MB of SDRAM. In addition, the DA-660 has 
two LAN ports and 8 or 16 serial ports to extend its communication capabilities. Two efficient 
LAN ports support high-performance data transmission over the Intranet/Internet. Each serial port 
supports an RS-232/422/485 3-in-1 operation mode switch to provide centrally-controlled 
connectivity to diverse serial devices. 
The Da-660 WinCE system is built on the Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 operating system (OS). 
Using a common, widely used programming environment makes DA-660 suitable for new system 
development and legacy system migration. 
The hardware and software capabilities of the Da-660 WinCE system make it an ideal computing 
platform for data acquisition and transmission applications.
