NAD T512 Chipset

The Pantera-2 LE / Plus processor chip is connected to IC301 (XC9572VL), which is the CPLD IO port. There is also an EPROM chip IC502 (93C46) which stores the firmware. This processor also requires a 32-bit SDRAM provided by IC304. The flash memory is IC3F1.

Back in 1992, the Pantera LE by Media Matics was the fastest embedded microcontroller ever designed. It still holds its own even today.
