CompactPCI storage mixes HDDs and CompactFlash
Enables the integration of SATA300 mass storage drives into a 3U CompactPCI system, where performance, functionality, power, space and cost are key elements.
More power to critical cPCI processing
Single-slot 6U CompactPCI processor board uses the latest high performance mobile dual core processor from the Intel embedded roadmap.
These high performance, yet low power boards are particularly suitable for high-speed data exchange, processing and storage in distributed or localised systems with a power consumption budget.
For harsher applications a wide temperature version of the 1.4GHz board is available operating over temperatures of -40 to +85C or over -25 to +70C.
Potential applications include command and control or data processing and storage within the defence, security, industrial-control, telecomms, telemetry, scientific, and aerospace markets.

MicroTCA System provides room for development
The SY AMC/205 comes pre-loaded with a dual-core processor AMC, a graphics and storage-disk AMC and a MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) which leaves three AMC slots available for system development.
The VP 347/02x uses Pentium M processors from the latest Intel Pentium M family (formerly called Dothan) with 2Mbyte on-die L2 cache, on 90nm process technology; the typical power consumption for the 1.8GHz board is 25.5W and for the 1.4GHz board is 16.5W.
The VP 345/02x uses the 1.6GHz Pentium M processor (formerly called Banias) with 1Mbyte on-die L2 cache, on 0.13um process technology; the board's typical power consumption is 24.0W.
Designed particularly for low power applications, thermally efficient memory and I/O controllers were chosen to complement the Pentium M processor.
The Intel 855GME GMCH controller provides access to up to 2Gbyte of on board ECC SDRAM at a peak rate of 2.66Gbyte/s and the Intel 6300ESB I/O controller is used to control the many I/O interfaces.
These interfaces include four RS232, four USB 2.0, dual Gigabit Ethernet, dual EIDE ATA100 and dual Serial ATA150, plus for user customisation, a 66MHz PMC site.
Additionally, a 2048 x 1536 graphics interface is supported, including rear panel DVI-D and front panel VGA support.
Other features provided are printer, keyboard and mouse interfaces, floppy disk interface, PC real-time clock, watchdog timer and speaker interface.
To cater for a variety of embedded applications, the VP 347/02x and VP 345/02x support options to remote boot the operating system via the Ethernet interface and/or install an onboard EIDE 2.5in disk drive or dual CompactFlash/Microdrive carrier, all within a single slot.
For applications requiring rear I/O connections, a transition module is provided with the board.
The VP 347/02x and VP 345/02x support many of today's leading operating systems, including VxWorks, Linux, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP Embedded, Windows XP, RTX, Solaris, LynxOS, QNX and MS-DOS.
