Description

Motorola MVME162P-344

Technical Specifications:

  • Brand: Motorola
  • Model: MVME162P-344
  • Processor: 32 MHz MC68040 Enhanced 32-bit Microprocessor
  • Memory: 16MB Configurable SDRAM
  • ASIC: Integrated Petra Special-Purpose Integrated Circuit

Functional Features:

  • Superior Performance: Petra ASIC optimizes memory access paths and supports VMEbus D64 for higher throughput.
  • Customizable Memory: Onboard switches allow users to configure SDRAM size to optimize costs.
  • IndustryPack Support: Retains four IndustryPack ports for extensive field I/O expansion.

Application Scenarios:
OEM embedded monitoring, large-scale automation master controllers, and high-speed data acquisition.

Performance Parameters:
32 MHz clock with optimized SDRAM and ASIC delivers significantly higher bus performance over earlier versions.

Material Composition:
High-density multi-layer PCB with improved power efficiency.

Structural Characteristics:
6U VME size with IndustryPack expansion slots and standard P1/P2 connectors.

Working Principle:
Utilizes the Petra ASIC for Global Control and Status Register (GCSR) management, coordinating high-speed data flow between the microprocessor, VME DMA, and IndustryPack interfaces.

Installation Requirements:
Onboard memory configuration switches must be set correctly to match the installed SDRAM capacity.

Precautions for Use:
Higher integration and clock speeds demand strict adherence to chassis forced-air cooling requirements.
