Intelligent PMC host I/O board for VME users
The latest single-slot 6U VME board from Concurrent Technologies is a PMC host board featuring either a 566 or 733MHz Celeron processor.
The TP 442/34x supports the 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 processor (soldered) or 1.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo L7400 processor (soldered), each with 4Mbyte L2 cache (shared between the cores); both processors can support 64bit operating systems.
The Intel 945GME GMCH graphics/memory controller and Intel ICH7-R I/O controller are used to complement the processor to achieve a low power yet high performance core design.
The memory controller can access 1 or 2Gbyte DR2-667 single channel SDRAM at up to 5.3Gbyte/s.
Depending on the peripheral I/O requirements the TP 442/34x is available as a single or dual 3U slot board and can operate as a system controller (for up to seven peripheral slots with PICMG 2.1 hot-swap control), or as a peripheral board, or as a blade.
And for system management the board supports IPMI PICMG 2.9 via the IPMB0 interface.
For fast external control and high-speed data paths, the TP 442/34x family supports (in one slot) four high-speed USB 2.0 ports and up to two RS232 (including one RS232/422) ports, and the two Gigabit Ethernet channels can sustain full-duplex data-rates of up to 4Gbit/s.
The CompactPCI control/data plane throughput can operate at 33/66MHz backplane PCI signalling speeds.
Additional I/O features include three Serial ATA300, front/rear graphics and stereo audio interfaces.
For embedded applications the board supports, as standard, an onboard CompactFlash socket via an EIDE interface.
Using two slots, the TP 442/34x supports a 66MHz PMC (with front/rear I/O) or XMC site (via a x4 PCI Express port), alternatively there is an option to install an onboard 2.5in SATA300 hard disk drive or for harsher environments a 2.5in solid state SATA Flash drive.
A 2048 x 1536 front panel analogue graphics interface and a 1600 x 1200 rear panel digital graphics interface are implemented using the Intel 945GME GMCH.
Other features provided are a PC real-time clock, watchdog timer, long duration timer, two GPIO signals and a legacy speaker interface.
For applications requiring rear I/O connections, a transition module is available - the RS232/422 level shifters, the stereo audio codec, line level stereo audio I/O pairs and mic input are also supported on the transition module.
For ease of integration the TP 442/34x supports many of today's leading operating systems, including Linux, Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, LynxOS, QNX, Solaris and VxWorks.
