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.
Designed for applications including military/aerospace, telecommunications, simulation/training and test and measurement, both system mode and nonsystem mode are supported.
"CompactPCI continues to be a favored architecture in applications where high-performance is required in a constrained space", said Peter Cavill, General Manager, Military and Aerospace Products at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.
The CM6 has a high degree of integration, with two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two serial ports (RS232 and RS422/RS485) together with eight general-purpose I/Os and Flash memory, freeing the user to use the capabilities of the 64bit/100 MHz PMC interface for application-specific purposes.
In either the single core or dual-core version, AltiVec support is provided for advanced floating point applications.
Each core is provided with its own Level 1 and Level 2 cache, allowing for a high degree of parallelism.
To enable operation in harsh environments, the CM6 is available in three levels of ruggedness, with an extended temperature range of -40C to +85C and optional conformal coating.
Shock and vibration immunity is designed in with stiffener bars and wedge locks.
A conformal coating can also be applied on request.
Support for Linux is available as standard.
Support for Integrity, LynxOS and VxWorks is optionally available.
