Mezzanine card carries two Fibre Channels
The FC2312 family of 2Gbit Fibre Channel host bus adapters provide space-constrained embedded real-time networking and storage applications with two independent channels on a single-width PMC card.
CompactPCI SBC takes the rough with the smooth
The CM4 3U is a CompactPCI single board computer for new and legacy commercial and government COTS applications operating in harsh environments.
This single board computer (SBC) fills a unique space in the 6U CompactPCI Intel Pentium based product sector.
It offers a high level of processing power and functionality for rugged embedded applications requiring a single-slot 6U CompactPCI format and conduction cooling", said Clarence Peckham, President of SBS Technologies' Commercial and Government Group.
The dual low voltage Intel Pentium III 512K 800 or 933MHz processors enhance application performance plus reduce power consumption to enable onboard fanless cooling.
Two independent PCIbuses decouple slow and fast onboard peripheral functions: a high-speed 64bit/66MHz bus facilitates high-bandwidth data-intensive transactions, while the 32bit/33MHz bus can be used for slower peripherals.
The C5C can function as a system or non-system slot controller.
Other C5C features include a SoundBlaster compatible audio interface, an Ultra 160 SCSI interface, primary and secondary IDE on the CompactPCI backplane, full hot swap support, 69030 dual HiQ video accelerator supporting 1200 x 1600 maximum screen resolution compatible with SVGA and VGA video modes and up to 3Gbyte SDRAM.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces supporting PICMG 2.16 are optional.
Conduction-cooled C5Cs support operating temperatures from -40 to +85C.
A standard convection-cooled version is available with an operating temperature range of 0 to +55C.
The C5C is compatible with PC99 Design Guide-compliant software.
SBS offers driver-level support for a number of common operating systems.
The conduction cooled C5C will be available in March 2003.
