Description

Motorola MVME2700-1241A

Technical Specifications

  • Processor: 233 MHz MPC750 PowerPC.
  • Memory: 16 MB – 256 MB ECC DRAM (RAM200).
  • Cache: 32 KB L1 I/D, 1 MB L2 backside.
  • Storage: 8 MB Flash + 1 MB socketed Flash.

Functional Features

  • Multi-Processor Support: Hardware support for inter-CPU interrupts and status queries.
  • GCSR: Global Control Status Register for broadcast signaling.
  • Flexible I/O Mapping: Programmable mapping decoder via Raven bridge.
  • Timers: Four 32-bit timers + M48T559 watchdog.

Application Scenarios
Telecom switching, medical equipment, CNC machines, aerospace test platforms, industrial automation.

Performance Parameters

  • VME Transfers: A24/A32, D8/D16/D32/D64 block mode.
  • Interrupts: Managed via Raven and Winbond PCI-ISA controllers.
  • Network: 10/100Base-TX with DMA.

Material Composition
FR4 industrial PCB with solid capacitors, high-frequency decoupling, and gold-plated connector pins.

Structural Characteristics
Eurocard VME size. Front panel: 6 LEDs (CHS, BFL, CPU, FUS, SYS, PCI) + 7-segment debug display.

Working Principle
CPU accesses ECC memory via high-speed bus. PCI DMA handles fast memory-VME transfers. Firmware monitor supports debugging and OS boot.

Installation Requirements
Ensure chassis grounding. Use transition modules for external serial/SCSI connections.

Usage Precautions
Avoid unshielded operation in high EMI. Check FUS LED for polyswitch status. Do not modify hardware jumpers.
