VMIC VMIVME-7740-850 350-007740-855 VME BOARD VMIVME7740
MICROPROCESSOR
— The VMIVME-7740 brings
the Intel Pentium
III
processor to VMEbus, offering processor
speeds up to 850 MHz. The Pentium
III
processor has 32-bit
addressing and a 64-bit data bus. Its superscalar architecture
allows three instructions to be executed per clock cycle. A
dynamic branch prediction unit, separate instruction and data
caches, and MMX™ technology also increase the processor’s
performance. The Pentium
III
processor also provides
256 Kbyte of advanced transfer cache (on-die, full speed
level 2 cache) using dual independent bus architecture for
high bandwidth and performance. This L2 cache operates at
the same clock frequency as the processor, thus improving
performance.
DRAM MEMORY
— The VMIVME-7740 accepts one
144-pin SDRAM SODIMM for a maximum memory
capacity of 512 Mbyte. The on-board DRAM is dual ported
to the VMEbus.
BIOS
— System and video BIOS are provided in
reprogrammable flash memory.
SUPER VGA CONTROLLER
— High-resolution
graphics and multimedia-quality video are supported on the
VMIVME-7740 by a Chips & Technology AGP graphics
adapter. The adapter is complemented by 4 Mbyte internal
synchronous DRAM with a high-bandwidth 64-bit data
interface. Screen resolutions up to 1,600 x 1,200 x 64,000
colors (single view mode) are supported by the graphics
adapter.
