## Overview

Single board computer designed for embedded VMEbus systems, based on a PowerPC 604 microprocessor operating at 100 MHz with up to 32 MB of DRAM. It includes a MVME1600-001 base board supporting modular components: processor/memory module with optional L2 cache, LED mezzanine for status and control switches, separate DRAM module, and optional PCI mezzanine card for I/O expansion. Interfaces via VMEbus backplane, requiring system enclosure, console terminal, and transition modules for I/O connectivity. Commonly applied in real-time, embedded control and data acquisition environments.

## Function

Provides embedded computing via a 68040 CPU, DRAM, and boot EPROM. Includes serial ports, Ethernet, SCSI, and VMEbus interface for backplane communication and peripheral expansion. Used for industrial control and data acquisition.

## Platform

VMEbus 6U form factor single board computer utilizing PowerPC MPC750 processor architecture operating at 100MHz with 32MB synchronous DRAM memory subsystem, PCI local bus interface for peripheral expansion, dual serial ports RS-232/422/485 configurable, parallel port, keyboard and mouse PS/2 interfaces, VGA graphics controller with CRT display output, Ethernet 10/100 controller with RJ45 connector, SCSI-2 fast/wide controller supporting up to 15 devices, CompactFlash socket for solid state storage, real-time clock with battery backup, VME64 bus interface supporting A16/A24/A32 address spaces and D8/D16/D32 data transfers, system controller functionality with VMEbus arbitration and interrupt handling capabilities for embedded control applications

## Application

Real-time control systems for industrial automation, embedded computing in telecommunications infrastructure, data acquisition and processing in scientific instrumentation, mission-critical control applications in aerospace and defense systems, high-reliability computing platforms for manufacturing process control, distributed control system nodes in power generation facilities, embedded processing in test and measurement equipment requiring deterministic response times and ruggedized operation in harsh environmental conditions.

## Accessories

P1 and P2 VMEbus connectors, 68-pin P2, 96-pin DIN-based P1 connectors supporting VME64 extensions, 10BaseT Ethernet, 2 DB-25 RS-232 serial ports, 50-pin SCSI-2 connector, 3U/6U compatible frame.

## Interface

VMEbus interface with P1/P2 connectors (96-pin DIN), Ethernet interface (10Base-T RJ-45), two serial ports (DB-25 female RS-232/RS-422), SCSI interface (50-pin high-density), parallel port (25-pin D-sub), floppy disk interface (34-pin header), keyboard/mouse ports (PS/2 mini-DIN), graphics port (15-pin high-density D-sub), IDE interface (40-pin header), battery-backed real-time clock, four programmable tick timers, 100MHz PowerPC 604 processor with 32MB DRAM
