Motorola MVME6100 Product Overview & Technical Specifications Product Brief The Motorola MVME6100 is a high-performance 6U VME single-board computer (SBC) built around the MPC7457 PowerPC processor, designed for mission-critical embedded applications in defense, aerospace, industrial automation, and data acquisition systems, offering robust processing, high-speed I/O, and long-term reliability. Brand Motorola (now part of Emerson / Artesyn Embedded Technologies) Model MVME6100 Dimensions The board conforms to the standard 6U VME form factor, with dimensions of 233.4 mm (height) × 160.0 mm (depth) × 19.8 mm (width), and a weight of approximately 425 g (with Scanbe handles) or 468 g (with IEEE handles). Key Features High-Performance Processing: Powered by a Freescale MPC7457 PowerPC processor at 1.267 GHz, paired with a 128-bit AltiVec coprocessor for parallel data processing, delivering exceptional computational throughput for data-intensive tasks. Advanced Memory Subsystem: Supports up to 2 GB of on-board DDR ECC SDRAM (DDR266, 133 MHz) and up to 128 MB of soldered flash memory, ensuring data integrity and high-capacity storage for embedded applications. High-Speed VMEbus Interface: Implements the Tundra Tsi148 VME bridge ASIC, supporting the 2eSST protocol for VMEbus transfer rates up to 320 MB/s, with backward compatibility for legacy VME protocols (SCT, BLT, MBLT, 2eVME). Flexible I/O Expansion: Features two PCI-X capable PMC mezzanine slots (33/66/100 MHz, 64-bit), enabling custom I/O configurations via industry-standard PMC modules for front or rear I/O access. Dual Gigabit Ethernet: Equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-bandwidth networking, supporting reliable communication in distributed control and data acquisition systems. Robust Environmental Tolerance: Operates over a temperature range of 0°C to +55°C (with forced air cooling) and stores from -40°C to +85°C, with built-in watchdog timers and ECC memory for enhanced system reliability in harsh industrial environments. Comprehensive System Support: Includes four 32-bit programmable real-time timers/counters, status LEDs, a reset/abort switch, and support for real-time operating systems (VxWorks, Linux) for embedded deployment. Input & Output Input Specifications Power Input: Requires +5V (±5%), +12V, and -12V supplies; typical current draw is 8.4 A at +5V, with a maximum of 10.2 A (excluding PMC/IPMC module power). VMEbus Input: Accepts VMEbus signals via the P1/P2 connectors, supporting 32-bit/64-bit transfers and 2eSST protocol for high-speed data input from VMEbus peripherals. Serial Inputs: Two asynchronous serial ports (RS-232/422/485 compatible) for low-speed communication with sensors, controllers, and auxiliary devices. PMC Inputs: Receives custom I/O signals from two PMC modules, supporting analog, digital, and communication inputs based on installed mezzanine cards. Output Specifications Ethernet Outputs: Dual Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports for high-speed data transmission to networked systems, SCADA, or control centers. VMEbus Output: Drives VMEbus signals at up to 320 MB/s via the 2eSST protocol, enabling fast data output to other VMEbus modules in the chassis. Serial Outputs: Two serial ports for command and status output to external devices, supporting RS-232/422/485 signaling for flexible connectivity. PMC Outputs: Delivers custom control or data signals via the two PMC slots, supporting analog outputs, digital relays, or communication interfaces for application-specific needs. Status & Control Outputs: LED indicators for power, activity, and fault status, plus a watchdog timer output that generates a system reset on timeout to ensure operational stability.
