AdvancedTCA SBC goes parallel with two Xeons
The ATCA-7820 is an AdvancedTCA single board computer offering two dual-core Intel Xeon processors LV 2.0GHz and up to 8Gbyte DDR-2 400 SDRAM with ECC.
VMEbus board boosts performance and cuts power
The V5D is a 6U VMEbus single board computer that uses the 1.4GHz Pentium M processor LV 738 for improved performance and lower power requirements.
The C2K integrates the Marvell MV64460 system controller (Discovery III) bridge chip, which includes a high speed DDR333 SDRAM controller with 167MHz interface that can service memory up to 1Gbyte.
For increased I/O expansion, the C2K hosts two 64bit IEEE1386.1 PMC sites, and the PLX PCI 6254 CompactPCI backplane bridge allows the C2K to operate as a system controller or peripheral processor card.
The IPMI and hot swap capabilities of the C2K make field operation and maintenance easier by allowing the end-user to constantly monitor system status and, when required, change boards without shutting down an entire system.
"SBS Technologies is pleased to announce the C2K SBC, which addresses the increasing demand for high performance PowerPC-based CompactPCI embedded computers with greater I/O flexibility than before", said Wayne McGee, SBC Product Management for GE Fanuc Embedded Systems.
"The C2K's optional conduction-cooled capability makes it ideal for rugged applications".
The C2K gives engineers a great deal of flexibility with multiple I/O, including three Gigabit Ethernet ports, four RS232/RS422 ports, four RS422/485 ports, two 1.5Gbit/s SATA ports, and three high-speed USB 2.0 ports.
The convection model also provides one high-speed USB 2.0 port at the front panel and 16 programmable GPIO ports with independent interrupts.
Optional configurations are available for customers who want to use the C2K in industrial applications that require extended temperature operations.
The C2K is available with VxWorks, Linux or Windows XP support and will be RoHS-compliant.
Available now, pricing for the convection model of the C2K single board computer in OEM quantities starts at US $2790.
