## Overview

Single-board computer serving as a high-performance base I/O module designed to function with a processor memory module. Features include Ethernet connectivity, PCI-X bus interface, USB ports, and support for various I/O peripherals. Functions as central processing unit for embedded systems, industrial automation, or process control applications. Compatible with VMEbus architecture, providing connectivity to expansion boards within a chassis. Used in telecommunications, defense systems, manufacturing control, and critical infrastructure monitoring where rugged, reliable computing is required.

## Function

Provides VMEbus system controller functions, including interrupt handling, system clock generation, and reset control. Offers serial communication via UARTs, parallel I/O for interfacing with external devices, and timer functions for real-time applications. Supports memory expansion through the PM604 processor memory module.

## Application

Functions: Provides base I/O capabilities, including serial communication, parallel I/O, and timer functions, operating as an embedded controller in a VMEbus system.\nHardware Platform: VMEbus backplane for connection with other modules, using the Motorola MVME architecture with the PM604 processor memory module.\nConnections/Interfaces: VMEbus interface for data transfer; serial ports (RS-232/422/485); parallel I/O connectors; and timer/counter signals.\nApplications: Industrial automation, process control systems, data acquisition systems, and embedded computing environments.

## Accessories

24V DC power connection via 96-pin DIN connector. Front panel: two 10Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 ports, two RS-232 serial ports (9-pin D-sub), keyboard/mouse PS/2 ports. PMC sites accept IEEE 1386.1 mezzanine cards. CompactPCI 6U form factor with J1/J2 backplane connectors (2mm pitch, 110-pin each) for 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus. J3/J4/J5 rear I/O connectors support user-defined I/O. Onboard IDE interface (40-pin header) for 2.5\" hard drives. Floppy disk controller (34-pin header). VGA output (15-pin HD D-sub). USB 1.1 port. System monitor/debug port. Battery backup for RTC. Cooling airflow required front-to-rear minimum 200 LFM.

## Interface

VMEbus 6U form factor with a 160-pin 3-row DIN 41612 connector for backplane interface; powered by a Motorola PowerPC 604 CPU at 200 MHz with onboard 32 MB memory and 256 KB L2 cache; includes PM604 mezzanine processor/memory module interface; standard VMEbus signal lines for data, address, control, and interrupt handling; supports typical VME interrupt levels and arbitration signals; front panel connectors not specified in detail but primarily designed for VME backplane integration.
