VMEbus Comms Controller supports Ethernet + ISDN
The new BVME3100 from BVM Limited is an extremely versatile 6U VMEbus Communications Controller based on the MC68MH360, QUICC Communications Processor running at 32MHz.
A top performing low power processor combined with extensive onboard peripherals and a single rail 12V supply make the LV-671 ideal for embedded or mobile applications where maximum performance is required.
The Pentium M processor is currently available with speeds up to 1.7GHz but provides considerably better performance compared with similar speed P4 CPUs.
It also features a low power 600MHz operating mode that can be dynamically switched by the operating system during periods of limited activity.
The LV-671 supports 200/266MHz RAM up to 1Gbyte, dual ATA100 IDE channels, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, DOM, CompactFlash and PCMCIA interfaces.
In addition to a standard slim PCI connector there is the option of a mini AGP or mini PCI connector providing additional expansion for specialist peripherals.
The 3D graphics has 64Mbyte display memory and dual outputs for LCD and CRT.
The built in LVDS interface provides easy access to a number of flat panel displays.
Other peripherals include six USB ports, AC97 5.1 audio with SPDIF digital out, speaker out, IRDA and floppy interfaces.
The single 12V power supply is regulated onboard to provide power for disc or CD devices.
The total maximum power dissipation for the system is normally below 35W, greatly simplifying cooling requirements and enclosure design.
Support is available for most popular operating systems ensuring easy transfer of existing applications.
