Concurrent Technologies’
Extended Temperature option

1. 800MHz VP 101/010-K operating over -40°C to +85°C (humidity sealed)
2. 800MHz VP 101/010-E operating over -25°C to +70°C
3. 800MHz VP 101/010 operating over 0°C to +55°C
4. 933MHz VP 101/011 operating over 0°C to +55°C

The family supports a single PMC site (32/64-bit up to 66MHz) with an expansion connector providing 2 further PMC sites on an optional carrier. UDMA100 EIDE and Ultra Wide SCSI interfaces are provided with options for an on-board EIDE 1.8-inch disk drive or CompactFlash™/Microdrive™.

VP 110/01x : Low Power Pentium III based VME single slot dual PMC carrier
The VP 1101/01x family consists of four single slot boards, all using the Low Voltage Intel® Pentium III Processor 512K....

1. 800MHz VP 110/010-K operating over -40°C to +85°C (humidity sealed)
2. 800MHz VP 110/010-E operating over -25°C to +70°C
3. 800MHz VP 110/010 operating over 0°C to +55°C
4. 933MHz VP 110/011 operating over 0°C to +55°C

The family supports two PMC sites (32/64-bit up to 66MHz) as well as dual PMC front I/O, the PMC rear I/O signals from both PMC sites are routed to P2 and optional P0 connectors. An on-board expansion connector supports an optional dual PMC carrier board, giving four PMC sites in two slots. A UDMA100 EIDE interface is provided with options for an on-board EIDE 2.5-inch disk drive or CompactFlash™/Microdrive™.
