MVME55006E
The MVME55006E is the latest flagship of the Motorola VME product line, enabling even
higher levels of performance in a single VMEbus slot. The MVME5500 utilizes the
latest MPC7455 processor running at speeds of 1 GHz and beyond, which is ideal for
data intensive applications.
The MVME5500 provides more than just faster processor performance; it provides
balanced performance from the processor, memory, local buses, and I/O subsystems.
The powerful Marvell Discovery system controller, with support for a 133 MHz host bus
and a 133 MHz SDRAM memory bus, is well matched to the high-speed processor. To
match the system I/O to the outstanding processor performance, the MVME5500
provides dual 64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses. Each PCI bus has a PMC site supporting
cards running at 33 or 66 MHz. The Universe II VME interface and PMCspan connector
are isolated from the PMC sites on a dedicated 33 MHz PCI bus segment, so that both
PMC sites are capable of 66 MHz operation. The MVME5500 also offers a Gigabit
Ethernet interface, a 10/100BaseTX Ethernet interface, and two serial ports. All of this
adds up to a set of well-balanced, high-performance subsystems for unparalleled
performance.
The MVME5500 series is designed to meet the needs of OEMs servicing the defense
and aerospace, industrial automation, and medical imaging market segments.
Customers looking for a “technology refresh” for their application while maintaining
backward compatibility with their existing VMEbus infrastructure can upgrade to the
MVME5500 series and take advantage of the enhanced performance features.
