Description
Motorola MVME162-853
Technical Specifications
- Processor: 32 MHz MC68040/MC68LC040 microprocessor.
- Memory: 32MB ECC DRAM.
- Bus Interface: Full VMEbus master/slave and system controller capabilities.
- Storage: 1MB Flash, 512KB SRAM, 8K NVRAM.
Functional Features
- Massive Memory Footprint: 32MB ECC RAM accommodates large databases, complex motion control trajectory planning, and extensive RTOS environments.
- Data Integrity: ECC protection ensures zero data corruption in mission-critical environments.
- High-Speed I/O: Integrated Ethernet and SCSI with DMA offloads CPU processing.
- IndustryPack Expansion: Four IP ports for flexible field I/O integration.
Application Scenarios
Advanced motion control, radar signal processing, large-scale data acquisition systems, and semiconductor metrology tools.
Performance Parameters
- VME Transfer: Supports D64 BLT and MBLT transfers.
- Serial Ports: Dual EIA-232-D/EIA-422 configurable ports.
- Timers: Six 32-bit tick timers, one watchdog timer.
Material Composition
Multi-layer high-density PCB with ECC SDRAM modules, MC68040 processor, and custom ASICs.
Structural Characteristics
Standard 6U VME form factor with comprehensive front-panel status LEDs and configuration switches.
Working Principle
The processor utilizes the local bus to access the 32MB ECC memory pool. The Petra/VMEchip2 ASIC manages memory refresh, ECC checking/correction, and VME bus arbitration.
