Motorola MVME61006E-0161

Product Introduction
The MVME61006E-0161 is an enhanced (“6E”) version of the MVME6100 platform, offering a slightly lower memory footprint (512 MB) compared to the 0171/0173 variants, but featuring stricter manufacturing and testing standards. The “E” designation signifies enhanced reliability, making it ideal for mission-critical applications where absolute stability is paramount over maximum memory capacity.

Description

Motorola MVME61006E-0161

Technical Specifications

  • Processor: 1.267 GHz MPC7457 PowerPC.
  • System Memory: 512 MB of ECC-protected DDR DRAM.
  • Flash Memory: 128 MB Intel StrataFlash.
  • Network: Dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports.

Functional Features

  • Enhanced Reliability: Subjected to extended burn-in testing and stricter component screening.
  • Backward Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates into existing VME64 and VME64x backplanes without software modifications.
  • Robust I/O: Supports both front-panel and rear-transition I/O via PMC modules.

Application Scenarios
Widely deployed in fixed ground defense systems, nuclear power plant instrumentation, and high-end automated manufacturing lines where system uptime is non-negotiable.

Performance Parameters

  • Processor Bus: 133 MHz.
  • L3 Cache: 2 MB DDR SRAM.
  • Serial Interface: ST16C554D quad UART controller providing two usable serial ports.

Material Composition
Features industrial-grade PCB fabrication with conformal coating options available to protect against harsh environmental factors like salt spray and conductive dust.

Structural Characteristics

  • Standard 6U VME: Fully compliant with IEEE 1101.10/1101.11 mechanical standards.
  • Front Panel: Integrated status LEDs and ruggedized RJ-45 connectors.
  • Power Regulation: On-board regulation of +3.3V, +2.5V, +1.8V, and core supplies derived from the +5V backplane rail.

Working Principle
The system initializes via the MOTLoad firmware, which performs comprehensive memory and peripheral diagnostics. The MPC7457 then boots the resident RTOS (e.g., VxWorks), utilizing the MV64360 for high-speed memory access and the Tsi148 for VME communication.

Installation Requirements

  • Install in a well-ventilated VME chassis.
  • Ensure the VME address and interrupt jumpers (if applicable) do not conflict with other boards.
  • Ground the chassis properly to prevent EMI issues.

Usage Precautions

  • Do not exceed the maximum allowable ambient temperature specified in the thermal validation appendix.
  • Handle the board by its edges or designated extraction handles only.
  • Keep firmware and system software updated to leverage the latest bug fixes and security patches.
