Description
Motorola MVME2604-4431
Technical Specifications
- Processor: 400 MHz MPC604 PowerPC.
- Memory: Supports 0–512 MB ECC DRAM.
- Storage: 9 MB Flash memory.
- Form Factor: Double-high VME board.
Functional Features
- High-Speed Processing: The MPC604 core provides superior performance for complex real-time tasks.
- Error-Correcting Memory: ECC DRAM ensures data integrity in mission-critical environments.
- Robust Firmware: Includes a comprehensive boot monitor for system diagnostics and OS loading.
- VMEbus Compliance: Full support for VME64 standards for seamless backplane integration.
Application Scenarios
Ideal for radar signal processing, flight simulation, industrial process control, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Performance Parameters
- Power Requirements: +5Vdc (±5%), 6A typical, 8A maximum; +12Vdc (±5%), 250mA typical, 1A maximum; -12Vdc (±5%), 100mA typical, 250mA maximum.
- Thermal Management: Requires forced-air cooling with an entry air temperature of 0°C to 55°C.
Material Composition
Constructed using high-Tg, UL94V-0 flame-retardant multi-layer industrial PCB with high-reliability BGA packaged processors.
Structural Characteristics
Standard 6U Eurocard dimensions (9.2 in. height, 6.3 in. depth for base board). Features a front panel with status LEDs, ABORT, and RESET switches.
Working Principle
The MPC604 processor manages local PCI peripherals via a bridge chip and communicates with the VME backplane through a VMEbus interface controller, executing real-time operating system instructions upon boot.
Installation Requirements
Must be inserted into a compatible 6U VME chassis. Ensure P1 and P2 connectors are fully seated and locked. Provide stable +5V, +12V, and -12V backplane power.
Usage Precautions
Never hot-swap the module. Always use an ESD wrist strap during handling. Ensure adequate chassis airflow to maintain operating temperatures.
