Press Release:

- CompactPCI^® Dual PMC Host Board utilizes 1.8 GHz Intel^® Pentium^® M processor 745

Concurrent Technologies announces the latest addition to their range of CompactPCI boards – the PP 312/01x – featuring the newly announced low power 1.8 GHz Intel^® Pentium^® M processor 745 (formerly codenamed Dothan). This new processor increases the L2 cache size from 1 Mbyte to 2 Mbytes and has an improved performance versus power dissipation ratio. The PP 312/01x, a single slot board, supports up to 2 Gbytes DDR ECC SDRAM.  As well as two PMC sites with front and rear I/O, the PP 312/01x supports dual Gigabit Ethernet, PICMG^® 2.16 (Packet Switching Backplane), PICMG 2.9 (IPMI) and PICMG 2.1 (hot swap). The PP 312/01x can operate as a system controller board, a peripheral board or as a satellite board (blade) and is a form, fit and function addition to the PP 310/01x family.

As an intelligent PMC carrier with dual 64-bit 66MHz PMC sites, the PP 312/01x is ideally suited to intensive I/O or data applications. Each site supports 3.3V or 5V PCI signaling and is available for user modules, standard PMC or PrPMC modules. As well as front I/O, the PMC I/O connector signals from both PMC sites are routed to the rear connectors (J4 is not used). Plus, for faster CompactPCI control/data plane throughput the PP 312/01x can auto-configure, on insertion/power-up, in a system operating at 66MHz backplane PCI signaling speeds.

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 EIDE interface (up to Ultra-DMA100), with installed EIDE options for an on-board EIDE 2.5-inch disk drive or CompactFlash™/IBM^® (Hitachi) Microdrive™ carrier, both within a single slot. Other features available are dual 10baseT/100base-TX/1000baseT Ethernet interfaces, graphics interface, keyboard/mouse interface, floppy disk interface, 3 RS232 serial channels, 1 USB port, parallel printer port, PC real-time clock, watchdog timer and long duration timer. LAN boot firmware is included as well. For applications requiring rear I/O connections a transition module is available.

For ease of integration, the PP 312/01x supports many of today’s leading operating systems, including VxWorks^®, Linux^®, Windows^® 2000, Windows NT^®, Windows^® XP Embedded, Solaris™ and QNX^®.
