BALANCED PERFORMANCE-MVME6100

　　The MVME6100 series provides more than just faster VMEbus transfer rates; it provides balanced performance from the processor, memory subsystem, local buses and I/O subsystems. The processor, running at speeds of 1.267 GHz, is ideal for data-intensive applications. The state-of-the-art host bridge, with support for a 133 MHz host bus and a 133 MHz DDR memory bus, is well matched to the processor. To ensure that the MVME6100 series can handle the 320MB/s data rates of 2eSST, the Tsi148 VMEbus interface chip is connected to one of the 133 MHz PCI-X buses on the host bridge. The second PCI-X bus has dual PMC-X sites—each site supports PMC or PMC-X cards supporting PCI bus speeds from 33 to 100 MHz. The MVME6100 also offers dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. All of this adds up to a set of well-balanced, high-performance subsystems for unparalleled performance.

　　DEFENSE AND AEROSPACE

　　In the defense and aerospace market segment, the MVME6100 series is well suited for command and control applications that utilize commercial grade products such as naval sheltered systems, stationary ground systems, and reconnaissance aircraft systems. The MVME6100 series helps to provide more performance for these applications than previous VME solutions have been able to supply by using the 1.267 GHz processor. This combined with dual PCI-X buses capable of 100 MHz speed for PMC modules and an 8x increase in the VME bandwidth eliminates many of the bottlenecks faced by command and control solutions today. These applications can now take advantage of the latest PowerPC processors in a dense computing configuration without the difficulties of trying to cool multiprocessor boards and managing I/O and VME bottlenecks. With the addition of Emerson’s processor PMCs (PrPMCs), additional PowerPC architecturecompatible processors can be added for a multiprocessor solution without sacrificing any of the MVME6100 series benefits.

　　INDUSTRIALAUTOMATION

　　The MVME6100 is also ideally suited for semiconductor process equipment (SPE), automated test equipment (ATE) and a variety of other high-end industrial automation applications because of its increased bus bandwidth and faster processing speeds. The backwards compatibility of the MVME6100 series with existing VME products helps to provide OEMs a way to extend the life and capability of their current designs without sacrificing existing key hardware and software investments. The DSP-like AltiVec technology, which is incorporated into the processor, allows the MVME6100 series to be used for an assortment of vector processing applications. And with two PMC sites, the MVME6100 series can be customized.

　　MEDICAL IMAGING

　　Medical imaging applications such as Nuclear Medicine (NM), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), X-Ray and Computed Tomography (CT) that entail intensive image processing, manipulation and algorithmintensive computations can benefit from the 2eSST protocol’s 8x increase in VMEbus transfer rates. With the ability of the MVME6100 series to work with existing VMEbus backplanes and boards, OEMs can increase their overall system performance while protecting their software and hardware investments. The performance of the MVME6100 series also helps OEMs to reduce the overall number of embedded cards required in a medical imaging application so that space issues become less of a factor.

　　Backward Compatibility

　　The MVME6100 series continues the direction of providing a migration path from Emerson’s embedded controllers such as the MVME2300/MVME2400 and from Emerson SBCs such as the MVME2600/2700 to a single platform. The MVME6100 series, like the MVME5100 and MVME5500 series, merged the best features of Emerson’s embedded controllers and SBCs enabling OEMs to support varying I/O requirements with the same base platform, simplifying part number maintenance, technical expertise requirements and sparing.

　　The MVME6100 series offers customers a migration path from the MVME2300, MVME2400, MVME2600, MVME2700, MVME5100 and MVME5500 boards to allow them to take advantage of features such as the MPC7457 processor, DDR memory, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-X and 2eSST.

　　PCIEXPANSION

　　The MVME6100 has a 32/64-bit, 33/66MHz PCI connection to support PCI expansion carriers such as the Emerson PMCspan.
