Concurrent Technologies is extending the operating
temperature of its popular high performance VP 110/01x; a
VME based dual PMC intelligent carrier that is ideally
suited to intensive I/O or data applications. There are now
four single slot product versions, all using the Low Voltage
Intel®
Pentium III Processor 512K. The two extended temperature
versions are the 800MHz VP 110/010-K operating over -40°C to
+85°C (humidity sealed) and the 800MHz VP 110/010-E
operating over -25°C to +70°C. The VP 110/01x, the
commercial version, uses either the 933MHz or 800MHz
processor operating over 0°C to +55°C. As well as front I/O,
the PMC rear I/O signals, from both PMC sites, are routed to
P2 and P0. An on-board expansion connector supports an
optional dual PMC carrier board, giving four PMC sites in
two slots.
At the core of the VP 110/01x family is the Low Voltage
Intel Pentium III "Tualatin" processor in a "Flip Chip"
package. The processor supports 512 Kbytes of high-speed
secondary cache, and in conjunction with the ServerWorks™
LE chipset provides up to 512 Mbytes of soldered 133MHz ECC
S-DRAM that can easily be upgraded to 1 Gbyte via the
onboard memory socket. As with all Concurrent Technologies'
designs, heat sinks are used in preference to fans for
cooling the processor.
To cater
for embedded applications there is 32 Mbytes of Application
Flash memory and 512 Kbytes of battery backed SRAM. For a
wider range of applications there is an Ultra-DMA100 EIDE
interface; with EIDE options for an on-board EIDE 2.5-inch
disk drive or CompactFlash™/IBM® Microdrive™
carrier, all within a single slot. Other features included
are, a dual 10baseT/100base-TX Ethernet interface,
keyboard/mouse interface, PC real-time clock, 1 RS232 serial
channel, 1 USB port, parallel printer port, watchdog timer
and long duration timer. A P2 or P2/P0 breakout module is
provided for applications that require rear I/O.
For ease
of integration, the VP 110/01x family supports many of
today’s leading operating systems, including VxWorks®,
Linux®, LynxOS®, Windows®
2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP
Embedded, Windows NT®, RTX®, Solaris™
and MS-DOS®.
