Mistral announces PMC-106 processor board
BANGALORE -- Mistral Solutions Pvt. Ltd.,
a leading player in the niche, real-time embedded solutions
market, recently announced the availability of the PMC-106,
the newest member of Dy4 Systems' CompactCore family
of small form-factor embedded computing products. The
PMC-106 is a symmetric multiprocessing dual PowerPC
7447 processor PMC board addressing the growing need
for standards-based processing modules that fit into
small spaces.
The
PMC-106 comes equipped with one or two Altivec-enabled
Motorola MPC7447 processors operating at up to 1GHz,
each with 64Kbytes of L1 cache, and 512Kbytes of internal
L2 cache. The dual processor version can support operating
systems, such as Linux that provide symmetric multiprocessing.
The PMC-106 provides 256Mbytes of double-data rate (DDR)
SDRAM, providing 2GBpsec of peak memory bandwidth. This
memory incorporates error checking and correcting (ECC)
circuitry for applications demanding extremely high
reliability. A 64-bit, 133MHz PCI-X interface offers
more than 1GBpsec (peak) transfer rate between the PMC
and the host card.
The
PMC-106 supports a Gigabit Ethernet interface enabling
high-performance networking with the newest generation
of systems. The interface is backward compatible with
both 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet networks, and automatically
adapts to the required speed. It is equipped with two
EIA-232/422 serial interfaces that operate at up to
115Kbps.The card additionally provides six general purpose
LVTTL discrete I/O signals that are interoperable with
standard 5V TTL logic.
The
PMC-106 offers the unique capability of allowing users
to select the processor clock frequency, and thus, the
power dissipation, to match their specific application
needs. The clock frequency is software programmable
and in-system upgradeable if new revisions of application
software require higher processing performance. To cool
the PMC-106, Dy 4 has developed an innovative cooling
frame that minimizes component operating temperatures,
while staying compliant with the VITA 20 standard for
conduction cooled PMCs.
Dy 4 Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Curtiss-Wright
Controls, Inc., is a leading supplier of a broad range
of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products for the
defense and aerospace markets, having a strong focus
on high performance ruggedized embedded computing solutions.
The key technology sectors of Dy4 are single-board computers,
graphics and imaging, network and communications controllers,
digital signal processing (DSP), and systems and integration
services.
