A new range of high-performance low-power CompactPCI-based dual-PMC single-slot boards exploits the Intel Pentium M processor.

A new range of high-performance low-power CompactPCI-based dual-PMC single-slot boards exploits the Intel Pentium M processor The PP 330/02x supports the 1.6GHz processor (1Mbyte L2 cache) and the PP 332/02x supports either 1.8 or 1.4GHz processors (2Mbyte L2 cache)

All boards support up to 2Gbyte of 333MHz DDR ECC DRAM using the Intel 855GME chipset.

As well as two 66MHz PMC sites with front and rear I/O, the PP 33x/02x family supports four Gigabit Ethernet channels, PICMG 2.16 (packet switching backplane), PICMG 2.9 (IPMI) and PICMG 2.1 (hot swap).

The PP 33x/02x can operate as a system controller board or as a satellite board (blade).

Typical applications include defence, security, telecoms, telemetry, industrial control, scientific and aerospace markets.

For harsher applications, using the 1.4GHz processor, operation over -40 to +85C (K-Series, with humidity seal) and over -25 to +70C (E-Series, with optional humidity seal) is available.

As an intelligent PMC carrier with dual 64bit 66MHz PMC sites, the PP 33x/02x family is ideally suited to I/O or data applications.

Each site supports 3.3 or 5V PCI signalling and is available for customer modules, standard PMC or PrPMC modules.

As well as front I/O, the PMC I/O connector signals from both PMC sites are routed to the rear connectors (J4 is not used).

For faster CompactPCI control/data plane throughput the PP 33x/02x can operate at 66MHz backplane PCI signalling speeds.

Onboard PCI datapaths are managed by the Intel 6300ESB I/O controller hub (ICH).

To cater for a range of applications there is an EIDE interface (up to Ultra-DMA100), with options to install an onboard EIDE 2.5in disk drive or CompactFlash/Hitachi GST Microdrive carrier, while maintaining a single slot.

For embedded applications that require both PMC sites the board supports, as standard, an onboard CompactFlash socket.

Other features available are four 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet interfaces, floppy disk interface, three RS232 serial channels, three USB ports, parallel printer port, PC real-time clock, watchdog timer and legacy speaker interface.

IPMI supports IPMB0 and IPMB1.

LAN boot firmware is included as well.

For applications requiring rear I/O connections a transition module is available.

The PP 330/02x and PP 332/02x support many of today's leading operating systems, including VxWorks, Linux, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP Embedded and QNX.

PP 330/02x list prices start from approximately $2800.
