The Platinum Platform P3! can host a Parallax P2 EDGE rev. A or rev. C based on the 32-bit multitasking P2X8C4M64P microcontroller composed of 8 identical cores called Cog.The P2 has the ability to perform up to 8 tasks simultaneously independently or cooperatively and can operate up to 350 MHz. The 8 Cogs (cores) of the Propeller P2 enjoy full I / O control of all pins. Through the programmable internal PLL, the clock frequency can be changed with great flexibility, and each of the 8 COGs (cores) can be started / stopped at will at any point in the code.

The Propeller P2 is made up of 8 identical 32-bit microcontrollers called Cog, each with:

• 512 KB of RAM connected to a common hub
• CORDIC mathematical solver
• The ability to read or write 32 bits at each clock cycle
• 64 intelligent I / O pins called Smart Pins, each capable of performing countless autonomous analog and digital functions

The Propeller P2 assembly language (PASM2) features the conditional for executing instruction and special pattern-based instruction loop and jump mechanisms to encourage the programmer to write fast, compact code. The power supply of the P3! is 24 Vdc and the maximum current drawn is 4 Ampere and depends on the type of cards installed on the Smart Slots.
