The VMPC6d is a powerful new dual/single PowerPC single board computer from Thales Computers.
The PMC-SIO is ideal for applications requiring extensive serial input/output for the management and monitoring of peripherals.
The ruggedised version of the board is well suited to handle the rigours of military and aerospace applications.
Because the PMC-SIO board is designed for use with current and next generation architecture, it allows for universal PCI signalling voltages.
The new PMC-SIO board provides both front and rear I/O and is available in versions for convection-cooled (SA and RA class) or conduction-cooled (RC class) environments.
The PMC to PCI interface on the board uses a 33MHz, 32bit PLX PCI9030, with 3.3 or 5V signalling and a configuration serial EEPROM.
The new PMC-SIO is provided with a VxWorks board support package.
The PMC-SIO is available immediately: pricing for the new board starts at $595.
