Product Short Description

Product Overview

MVME550-163 is a transition-generation VME single-board computer migrating from 68K CISC architecture to PowerPC RISC architecture. It delivers improved computational performance while maintaining VMEbus backward compatibility for legacy system upgrades.

Description

Technical & Performance Parameters

  • Processor: MPC603 PowerPC RISC processor
  • Main Memory: 32MB ECC DRAM
  • Storage: 4MB on-board Flash memory for boot firmware
  • Expansion: Dual PMC mezzanine card slots conforming to IEEE P1386.1 standard
  • Bus Interface: VMEbus A32/D32, Universe I VME bridge ASIC
  • Communication: Two independent asynchronous serial ports, optional 10/100 Ethernet
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C ~ 70°C
  • Form Factor: Standard 6U VME single slot

Functional Features

  • RISC architecture brings higher instruction throughput compared with MC68040 series
  • PMC expansion enables flexible addition of network, serial, and analog I/O mezzanine cards
  • ECC memory protection detects and corrects single-bit memory errors
  • Supports VxWorks, Linux and other PowerPC-targeted real-time operating systems

Working Principle

PowerPC processor executes operating system and control applications. Universe I ASIC serves as bridge between local PCI bus and VME backplane. PMC slots extend peripheral functions, realizing high-speed I/O expansion without occupying extra VME slots.

Application Scenarios

Industrial control system upgrades, radar auxiliary processing units, automated test platforms, transportation control systems.

Installation Requirements & Precautions

  • Match PMC card voltage signaling standard before installation
  • Maintain sufficient airflow around PMC modules to avoid thermal throttling
  • ESD protection is mandatory during module assembly
