October 2003 –
Concurrent Technologies is extending the operating temperature
of its popular high performance Pentium III VME SBC family.
There are three single slot family versions, all using the Low
Voltage Intel® Pentium III Processor 512K. The two extended
temperature versions consists of the 800MHz VP 101/010-K
operating over -40°C to +85°C (humidity sealed) and the 800MHz
VP 101/010-E operating over -25°C to +70°C. The VP 101/01x,
the commercial version, uses either the 933MHz or 800MHz
processor 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™/IBM® Microdrive™.
At the core of the VP 101 family is the Low Voltage
Intel Pentium III “Tualatin” (0.13 micron) processor in a
“Flip Chip” package. The processor supports 512 Kbytes of
high-speed secondary cache and, in conjunction with the
ServerWorks™ ServerSet™ III LE chipset, operates a 133MHz
front side bus. As with all Concurrent Technologies’ designs,
heat sinks are used in preference to fans for cooling the CPU.
The board provides, soldered on board, 512 Mbytes or
1Gbyte of 133MHz ECC S-DRAM that can easily be upgraded to 1.5
Gbytes via the onboard memory socket. Other features are a
dual 10baseT/100baseTX Ethernet interface, keyboard/mouse
interface, PC real-time clock, 2 RS232 channels, 2 USB ports,
parallel printer port, watchdog timer, long duration timer and
a Silicon Motion’s graphics interface with Digital Flat Panel
support. A P2 breakout module is provided to facilitate
integration in specific applications requiring rear I/O
connection.
For ease of integration, the VP 101 family supports
many of today’s leading operating systems, including VxWorks®,
Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, RTX®, Linux®, QNX®
and MS-DOS® |
