VMEbus SBC extends to temperature extremes

Concurrent Technologies has produced an extended-temperature version of the popular VP 100/010 VME single-board computer which uses the 800MHz Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor 512K.

Concurrent Technologies has produced an extended-temperature version of the popular VP 100/010 VME single-board computer which uses the 800MHz Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor 512K.

The VP 100/010-E has now increased the range of applications for those requiring an operating environment of -25 to +70C, typically within the defence and transportation markets.

This single-slot board supports a single PMC site (32/64bit interface up to 66MHz) with an expansion connector providing two further PMC sites on an optional extended temperature carrier.

EIDE and Ultra Wide SCSI interfaces are provided.

An optional onboard EIDE CompactFlash extended temperature carrier is also available.

At the core of the VP 100/010-E is the Low Voltage 800MHz Intel Pentium III "Tualatin" (0.13-micron) processor in a "flip chip" package.

The processor supports 512Kbyte of high-speed secondary cache and, in conjunction with the ServerWorks ServerSet III LE chipset, operates a 133MHz front side bus alongside a 32bit PCIbus and a 64bit PCIbus.

As with all Concurrent Technologies' designs, heatsinks are used in preference to fans for cooling the CPU.

The VP 100/010-E provides, soldered onboard, 512Mbyte or 1Gbyte of 133MHz ECC S-DRAM that can easily be upgraded to 1.5Gbyte via the onboard memory socket.

Other features available are a dual 10baseT/100baseTX Ethernet interface, keyboard/mouse interface, PC real-time clock, two RS232 channels, two USB ports, parallel printer port, watchdog timer, long duration timer and an Asiliant Technologies 69030 graphics interface including digital flat panel support.

A P2 breakout module is provided to facilitate integration in specific applications requiring rear I/O connection.

For ease of integration, the VP 100/010-E supports many of today's leading operating systems, including VxWorks, Linux, LynxOS, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP Embedded, RTX and Solaris.
