PV5100HX2 Texas Micro PCI/ISA Single Board Computer

The RadiSys / Texas Micro PV5000HX2 / PV5000HX2-M Series Single Board Computers provide unparalleled, scalable, cost effective performance using Intel P54C Pentium processors and P55C Pentium processors with MMX technology. The advanced 430HX PCI chip set significantly improves PCI and ISA bus performance. Price/performance tailoring to application need is made easy through the support of Fast Page Mode (FPM) or Extended Data Out (EDO) memory, optional plug in 256KB or 512KB pipeline burst synchronous L2 cache COAST modules and CPU speeds up to 233MHz. A highly integrated PCI flat panel/CRT SVGA controller, with 2MB DRAM video memory, provides support for a variety of flat panel and CRT displays with solid, non-interlaced images at 75Hz vertical refresh at 1280 x 1024 resolutions in 256 colors. Running the 32-bit local bus of the SVGA graphics controller at PCI speeds up to 33MHz maximizes data throughput and drawing speed for today's powerful CPU architecture.

On-board interfaces are provided for floppy, EIDE and SCSI devices. Located on the PCI bus, the Enhanced IDE controller supports two devices and includes LBA (Logical Block Addressing) and up to PIO mode 4 (16.6MB/sec throughput) performance. The Fast/Narrow SCSI-2 host adapter features true 32-bit PCI bus mastering DMA with 128-byte FIFO. This enables SCSI bus transfer speeds of up to 10MBytes/sec, maximizes DMA transfer and reduces system latencies. Two serial ports (with baud generations to 115.2KB, 38.4KB sustained) and a Centronics compatible Enhanced Parallel/Capabilities port (EPP/ECP) provides superior I/O throughput.

The Model PV5000HX2(-M) series supports up to 12 PCI and up to 20 ISA add-in cards. The Texas Micro enhanced Phoenix BIOS provides CMOS and setup utilities for ISA and PCI system configurations and user definable drive parameters. Flash memory is used for BIOS and option ROMs for the on-board video and SCSI devices. The PV5000HX2(-M) series are superior, cost effective SBCs for CTI, enhanced service applications, medical/laboratory/scientific systems, and industrial monitoring environments where visualization and operator/machine interfaces are important. They are particularly suited for multi-function, segmented backplane needs.
