ESC 2005: GE Fanuc’s Processor PCI Mezzanine Card
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems Inc. will show its new Processor PCI Mezzanine Card (PrPMC) that integrates an IBM PowerPC 440GX processor with up to 512 MB dual-data rate SDRAM, 8 MB on-board flash memory, and a 133 MHz PCI-X bus interface—at Embedded Systems Conference (ESC)-San Francisco (March 8-10, 2005).
| PMC721TX can be configured to run either as a system controller or a dedicated I/O processor. The module complies with such standards as IEEE 1386 and ANSI/VITA 32 for PrPMCs. |
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems Inc. will show its new Processor PCI Mezzanine Card (PrPMC) that integrates an IBM PowerPC 440GX processor with up to 512 MB dual-data rate SDRAM, 8 MB on-board flash memory, and a 133 MHz PCI-X bus interface—at Embedded Systems Conference (ESC)-San Francisco (March 8-10, 2005). Called PMC721TX, the module operates at up to 800 MHz and features high bandwidth and processing capabilities, along with low power consumption. This makes the PrPMC ideal for many communications and networking applications, says GE Fanuc.
Using a modular approach to add processing capabilities, the PMC721TX gives design engineers an easy way to upgrade existing systems quickly without significant added cost. The module offers front-panel support for two 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports and one RS-232 port. Other support includes a JTAG interface for board-level debug, watchdog timer, and real-time clock. Operating system support includes Linux and Wind River’s VxWorks. ESC booth 2430 .
