Embedded controller allows direct access to ATM
The Interphase 4531, available in the UK from Crellon Microsystems, allows system integrators to access the ATM backbone without requiring an external CSU/DSU.
Embedded motherboard configured for connectivity
The PATX3070 Pentium-class motherboard, now available from Crellon Microsystems, combines AGP graphics capability with a range of powerful interfaces.
Motorola's new PrPMC610 is a single-width PMC module powered by the MPC8245 microprocessor.
This allows increased performance, PCI bandwidth and memory size than the previous PrPMC600 processor.
The PrPMC610 is supported by up to 128Mbyte memory onboard error correcting code (ECC) SDRAM with the option for an additional 256Mbyte memory expansion and 9Mbyte onboard Flash.
An optional front faceplate or rear Pn4 I/O, including 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface, complete the features that help simplify the addition of new technology to a customers equipment.
Internal timers and counters as well as two banks of Flash make the new processor ideal for demanding control tasks.
Designing a system around the PrPMC610 isolates the complexities of a high-speed CPU, cache and memory signals from application-specific hardware, enabling equipment manufacturers to focus on their market requirements while simplifying their product design.
Additionally, the PrPMC design approach allows simpler and smaller base boards, while shortening the design cycle, speeding time-to-market, and reducing the time and complexity of upgrading.
