Material Composition Premium industrial-grade materials throughout. The 64MB DRAM array uses high-reliability memory chips with full ECC capability. PCB features optimized trace routing for signal integrity at high speeds. Connectors use enhanced gold-plating thickness for extended service life.
Structural Characteristics 6U VME standard dimensions. IEEE 1101 front panel with injection/ejection mechanism. LED status indicators for comprehensive system monitoring. P2 connector interfaces with MVME761 transition module. DRAM mezzanine connector for potential future upgrades.
Working Principle The 233 MHz MPC750 accesses 64MB of ECC-protected DRAM through optimized memory controllers. The 1MB backside L2 cache minimizes processor stalls due to memory latency. The Raven bridge ASIC and Universe VME controller manage all bus transactions. The PC87308 ISASIO chip handles legacy serial and parallel port functions.
Installation Requirements VME64 chassis with sufficient power delivery for 64MB memory configuration. Proper thermal management to maintain processor within operating temperature range. MVME761 transition module installation requires intact P2 backplane.
Usage Notes 64MB memory provides substantial capacity for most embedded applications. Regular monitoring of ECC status is recommended. Ensure adequate airflow across the board for reliable long-term operation.
