Motorola MVME2700-1321

Product Brief The MVME2700-1321 is the entry-level model in the MVME2700 13xx series, featuring a 266 MHz MPC750-class processor with 16MB ECC DRAM and 5MB Flash memory. This model uses the MVME761 I/O transition module and an IEEE 1101 compatible front panel. The 266 MHz processor delivers approximately 14% higher clock speed than the 12xx series, while the 16MB memory configuration provides an economical entry point for applications where processing speed is more critical than memory capacity.

Material Composition Industrial-grade multi-layer PCB. High-quality components selected for 266 MHz operation. Gold-plated connectors for reliable connections. IEEE 1101 front panel from durable aluminum.

Structural Characteristics Standard 6U VME dimensions. IEEE 1101 front panel with handles. LED status indicators. P2 connector for MVME761. DRAM mezzanine connector for future memory upgrades.

Working Principle The 266 MHz MPC750 executes instructions with improved throughput over 233 MHz variants. The 1MB L2 cache and 16MB ECC DRAM provide balanced performance. The PowerPlus Architecture ASICs optimize all data paths.

Installation Requirements Standard VME64 chassis with adequate cooling for 266 MHz operation. Ensure P2 backplane supports MVME761. Verify 16MB memory meets application requirements.

Usage Notes 16MB memory is sufficient for many embedded applications but should be evaluated for specific needs. Monitor ECC status. The 5MB Flash requires careful management of firmware storage.
