Kontron has launched a 3U CompactPCI CPU boards at Euronaval 2008 in Paris.
The PowerPC based Rugged Conduction-Cooled (RC) Kontron CP3210 has a faster clock rate of 733MHz, accelerated DDR SDRAM (266MHz, + 33.3 per cent), double the amount of system and user Flash and a Gigabit Ethernet port for faster data throughput and overall greater system performance.
The Kontron CP3210 incorporates a thermal sensor for health monitoring and thermal management.
The Kontron CP3210 CompactPCI CPU board is an enhanced version of the Kontron PowerEngineC7, a proven solution already embedded in major defence programs.
Additionally, the Kontron CP3210 incorporates a thermal sensor for health monitoring and thermal management.
It is designed to meet the harshest and most demanding requirements through its very low-power dissipation, real-time and certifiable software support as well as rugged conduction cooled design.
The Kontron CP3210 CompactPCI CPU board offers an extensive range of standard functions and expansion options, including the new powerful PowerPC G3 750FX RISC processor clocked at 733MHz, onboard user memory of 512MB DDR SDRAM with ECC clocked at 266MHz, 128MB of System Flash memory, 256MB of User Flash memory and 128KB of nvSRAM with real clock.
It also offers two onboard serial lines, two Ethernet channels - one Gigabit and one 10/100, as well as one 33/66MHz PMC expansion slot (PCI Mezzanine Card).
To further extend the I/O capabilities an additional PMC can be implemented via the rugged PMC carrier CPMC1.
The Rugged Conduction-Cooled (RC) design of the Kontron CP3210 enables reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -40C to +85C according to VITA 47 recommendations.
Kontron's latest rugged conduction cooled CompactPCI CPU board is delivered with PowerOn Built-in-Tests and the Open Source U-Boot boot-loader firmware with full CPU source code under GPL.
Kontron provides the Real Time Operating Software VxWorks 6.2 Board Support Package, and the Kontron CP3210 offers support for the ElinOS embedded Linux and the DO-178 B and ARINC 653 certifiable PikeOS software provided by Sysgo.
The Kontron CP3210 CompactPCI CPU board can be used both as a system slot or a peripheral slot processor board, making it a unique solution for a complete system.
Power consumption can be reduced to less than 10W by configuring the processor frequency and the system bus frequency to 700/100MHz, and by enabling the nap mode.
The Kontron CP3210 CompactPCI CPU board is available now and is covered by Kontron's long-term supply program.
This ensures defence customers a multi-year supply of the product beyond its active life.
