The MVME5500 is the flagship of our VME product line, delivering higher levels of performance in a single VMEbus slot.

Higher levels of performance in a single VMEbus slot:

1GHz MPC7457 PowerPC® processor

512 KB on-chip L2 cache and 2MB L3 cache

AltiVec coprocessor for high-performance computing applications

Two banks of soldered flash (32MB and 8MB)

Dual independent 64-bit PCI bus and PMC sites with bus speeds up to 66 MHz

Gigabit Ethernet interface and an additional 10/100BaseTX Ethernet interface

64-bit PCI expansion mezzanine connector for up www.cniacs.com to four additional PMCs

I/O compatible with MVME51xx series

Processor PMC (PrPMC) support

SMART Embedded Computing’s MVME5500 features the MPC7457 processor running at 1 GHz with memory, dual independent local buses and I/O subsystems.

The powerful Marvell system controller supports a 133 MHz host bus and a 133 MHz SDRAM memory bus, a perfect match for the high-speed processor.

To match system I/O with superior processor performance, the MVME5500 offers dual 64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses.

Each PCI bus has a PMC site that supports cards running at 33 or 66 MHz.

The Universe II VME interface and PMCspan connector are isolated from the PMC site on the dedicated 33 MHz PCI bus segment, so both PMC sites can operate at 66 MHz.

The MVME5500 also offers a Gigabit Ethernet interface, a 10/100BaseTX Ethernet interface and two serial ports.

All of this adds up to a well-balanced, high-performance subsystem that delivers unrivalled performance.
