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.
Joining the 3U VPX SBC310, SBC330 and SBC340 - which offer a choice of processor architectures - the SBC320 brings the total of VPX products announced by GE Fanuc to eleven.
"No other company has demonstrated greater commitment to VPX than GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms", says Peter Cavill, General Manager, Military and Aerospace Products at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.
"The SBC320 extends that commitment to provide our customers with further VPX options, with the Core2 Duo processor offering an outstanding level of performance per watt".
"Interest in 3U VPX among our customers is extremely high, and we expect the SBC320 to be very well received".
At the heart of the SBC320 is an Intel Core2 Duo L7400 low voltage processor running at 1.5GHz.
Up to 2Gbyte of DDR2 SDRAM with ECC are supported, with 128Mbyte of user Flash memory.
Two four-lane PCI Express ports running at 2.5GHz to the backplane support the high levels of system throughput enabled by the serial switched fabric VPX architecture, while maximum connectivity is delivered via two USB 2.0 ports, two SATA 150 ports, two 10/100/1000BaseT Gigabit Ethernet ports, two UART (RS232) ports and an XMC-compliant PMC site.
The Intel 3100 chipset combines server-class memory and I/O controller functions into a single component, creating the first integrated Intel chipset specifically optimised for demanding embedded applications.
Covers for the SBC320 are optionally available to allow two-level maintenance.
Comprehensive operating system (Linux, VxWorks and Windows) and deployed test software (BIT, BCS) support is provided.
