C103 Low Power - 750GX PPC® VME SBC

Company:

Aitech Defense Systems Inc.

Description:

The C103 is a low power derivative of the Aitech powerful C100 VME SBC. The C103 provides unmatched performance per power consumption combined with versatile and flexible I/O capabilities for harsh environment applications. Powered by IBM 750GX advanced low power PowerPC® microprocessor and integrated on-chip L1 and L2 caches, the C103 provides extremely high processing capabilities.

To further support the high performance processor a large and fast SDRAM array is also implemented in the C103. Additional memory arrays are provided, such as Flash for user application storage, high-density Flash File for mass storage purposes and NVRAM for user/application specific parameters storage.

In addition to its high performance processor architecture the C103 provides unparalleled I/O capabilities all integrated on board. I/O interfaces include three Ethernet ports (one Gigabit and two Fast Ethernet ports), two dual redundant MIL-STD-1553B interfaces, two IEEE1394a (FireWire) ports, two USB 2.0 ports, eight serial ports (six of which are high-speed ports and two are standard UART ports) and up to 16 general-purpose discrete I/O channels.

To complete its extensive capabilities and further expand them, the C103 is equipped with 2 PMC slots allowing installation of additional modules on top.
br> The C103 internal architecture is based on two separate PCI buses, one operating at 66 MHz while the other at 33 MHz, allowing separation of the slow PCI devices from the faster ones and thus enabling each PCI device to operate at its top speed. In order to achieve maximum bus utilization multiple advanced programmable DMA engines are available for data transfer over the PCI buses.br>
The C103 implements a compliant VME64x interface using Tundra's Universe II PCI to VME Bridge.

The C103 highly integrated design guarantees unmatched performance and versatility currently available on any rugged conduction or air-cooled PowerPC® VME SBC.
