Wait no longer to
upgrade legacy VMEbus designs
A new VMEbus SBC enables swift and economical upgrading of legacy VMEbus designs as well as being ideal as an application specific computer blade or an intelligent I/O blade/carrier
Just arrived at Acal Microsystems, the eagerly awaited Motorola MVME3100 is a new VMEbus single board computer that enables swift and economical upgrading of legacy VMEbus designs as well as being ideal as an application specific computer blade or an intelligent I/O blade/carrier. The MVME3100 is fully interoperable with Motorola's higher performance MVME6100 family member enabling system integrators to build a hardware and software environment based on the VMEbus Two-edge Source Synchronous Transfer (2eSST) interconnect.

The MVME3100 is built around the Freescale MPC8540 system-on-chip PowerPC e500 processor core (667 or 833MHz) which also integrates a memory controller, DMA engine, 66MHz/64bit PCI-X controller, dual gigabit Ethernet interfaces and local I/O on to a single, low power device of less than 7W.
Having the 2eSST VMEbus protocol interface onboard means that the MVME3100 can transfer data across the VMEbus at speeds up to 320Mbyte/s.
This feature alone warrants investigation but when combined with a USB 2.0 controller routed to the front panel, SATA interface, dual 66MHz/64bit PMC-X sites, two gigabit Ethernet ports and an additional 10/100BaseTX port - it almost begs designers to revitalise existing designs and maximise their product investment whilst extending their life cycle.
Now, pile on top of that the 256 or 512Mbyte of DDR ECC SDRAM, 64 or 128Mbyte of Flash, 128Kbyte of nonvolatile memory, five front panel RS232 serial ports, a real time clock, four 32bit programmable timers, four 32bit programmable/cascadable timers and a watchdog - and designers can now build a cost effective system with real world interfaces.
