6U CompactPCI single board computer uses a 1GHz MPC7447A or 1.4GHz MPC7448 Freescale processor and extensive I/O ports for improved performance and flexible, rugged functionality.
The V5D includes the Intel 855GME chipset which provides a 400MHz front side bus interface and a memory controller with a 64bit 266MHz memory interface that services up to 1Gbyte of DDR SDRAM.
It also includes an internal SVGA video controller with 2D and 3D graphics engines and a 350MHz 24bit RAMDAC that can drive an analogue CRT monitor at resolutions up to 1600 x 1200.
"SBS Technologies is pleased to announce the V5D SBC, the next generation in our popular V5 product line that started with the V5A".
"The V5D continues to keep this SBC line updated with the latest technology while maintaining backwards compatibility to the existing product lines to ensure program longevity for our customers", said Wayne McGee, SBC Product Management for GE Fanuc Embedded Systems.
The V5D features two USB 2.0 ports and two Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, and can be configured with up to three optional PMC carrier sites to give the V5D extensive expansion capability.
With its ability to perform byte swapping in hardware, the V5D provides better performance over software solutions when data are transferred to and from different processor-based systems.
Optional configurations are available for customers who want to use the V5D in industrial applications that require extended temperature operations.
The V5D is available with VxWorks, Linux or Windows XP support and is RoHS-compliant.
