DB10311 North Hills In-Line MIL-STD-1553 Quick-Clik Coupler Cable

The VG5 is a dual or single processor VME bus computer board designed to meet the needs of high-performance embedded applications. It addresses such markets as industrial automation, medical, scientific and aerospace where real-time and/or signal processing is needed. Operating system support includes VxWorks, Linux and LynxOS.

The ultra compact 6U single slot, all-in-one design with flexible memory and Flash configurations, and on-board peripherals including up to two Gigabit (VITA 31.1-compliant), two 10/100 Mb Ethernet ports, up to four high speed multi-protocol serial controllers (HDLC, BiSync,..), one serial-ATA compatible port, two PMC extension slots, UARTS, timer/counter and general purpose I/Os. Each processor node has its own memory and its own chipset with peripherals. The two nodes are coupled via the 64-bit/100 MHz PCI-X bus.

Three on-board 64-bit PCI buses are supported in the dual processor version:
•one for 64-bit/100 MHz connection of the processor nodes (PCI-X)
•one exclusively for 64-bit 33/66 MHz PCI PMC site
•one for on-board VME bridge, SATA and the second PMC site (PCI 64/33 MHz)

A specific on-board programmable FPGA for peripheral functions or additional I/Os routes the signal to the P2 connector. This enables the user to add proprietary know-how or just to expand the I/O capabilities of the board, which allows immediate reaction to functional changes without the need for a board re-design and shortens time-to-market. The FPGA programming is supported with the VG5-SDK-FPGA development kit.

Combined with custom assembly for specific applications, the VG5 provides optimum price/performance for all kinds of OEM applications. The VG5 rugged version addresses extreme environment applications with optional conduction cooling, which extends the temperature range to -40 °C to +85 °C (version 2.x), increased shock and vibration immunity using stiffener bars and wedge locks, and conformal coating. The conduction-cooled VG5 complies with VITA 30.1-2001 and IEEE Std. 1101.2-1992 specifications.
