Event: None Summary:
Full Text:
At the heart of the MVME2100 is the MPC8240, an integrated processor with a PowerPC 603e core, a memory controller and PCI interface combined in a single package. The benefits of this highly integrated microprocessor on the MVME2100 include added real estate for on-board peripherals, lowered cost, reduced power consumption and a simplified board design due to the consolidation of bridge chips. "Aimed at original equipment manufacturers in the telecommunications, industrial control and command and control markets, the MVME2100 is a high performance building block for real-time processing," said Staci Palmer, PowerPC VME product manager, Cross Industry Business Unit at MCG. "OEMs migrating from other low-end architectures now have a cost-effective choice with the performance of a PowerPC 603e on VME. The MVME2100 is specifically targeted to share the space occupied today by Motorola's extremely popular MVME162 family," she added. The MVME2100 features a combination of PC·MIP and PMC slots to maximize I/O expansion flexibility. The PC·MIP is a new mezzanine standard that combines the benefits of the small size of IndustryPack with the performance of PCI into a module for embedded computer expansion. The PC·MIP standard is co-sponsored by SBS GreenSpring Modular I/O, Mikro Electronik Nuremburg (MEN) and MCG. The PC·MIP specification is in draft form before the VMEbus International Trade Association (VITA) Standards Organization. The specification is available in PDF format as VITA 29 at http://www.vita.com/vso/stds.html. In addition to three PC·MIP slots, the MVME2100 provides one on-board IEEE P1386.1 compliant PMC slot and a mating connector to a PMC expansion mezzanine for capabilities requiring more real estate. A complete catalog of available off-the-shelf PMCs can be found at . Pricing and Availability The MVME2100 will be available in a variety of models scheduled for early 1999 production and is supported with leading real-time software environments. The 32MB version has a U.S. listing price starting at $1695. The MVME2100 is backed by a 5-year limited warranty and is sold and supported by MCG and its distribution partners worldwide.
