Supercomputing levels of performance in a scalable, single-board computer

The MVME5100 Series is the flagship of the Motorola PowerPlus II VME Architecture

line, enabling supercomputing levels of performance in a single VMEbus slot. Based on

an integrated PCI bridge-memory controller ASIC designed by Motorola Computer

Group, PowerPlus II takes memory performance to new levels with 582MB/s memory

read bandwidth and 640MB/s burst write bandwidth. Plus, PowerPlus II Architecture

supports full PCI throughput of 264MB/s without starving the processor from its

memory.

The extended temperature versions of the MVME5100 Series offer hardware and

software compatible products to enhance the existing MVME5100 product. The new

versions operate at extended temperature ranges of –20° to 71° C vs. 0° to 55° C for

the already existing commercial versions. The temperature range is advantageous to

OEMs that require extended operating temperatures for their equipment.

The MVME5100 is designed to meet the needs of OEMs servicing the defense and

aerospace, industrial automation and medical market segments

I/O Compatibility

Historically, Motorola has offered two tracks in its

PowerPC Architecture VME portfolio. The first track

(which includes the MVME2600/2700) provides typical

single-board computer I/O features including Ethernet,

SCSI, multiple serial ports, a parallel port and a single

PMC slot. The on-board I/O is routed to P2 and made

available to the user via Motorola MVME761 or

MVME712M transition boards. The second track (which

includes the MVME2300/2400) offers limited on-board

I/O (Ethernet and a single serial port both via the front

panel) but provides dual PMC slots enabling maximum

user I/O customization.

The MVME5100 merges the best features of both tracks

enabling the OEM to support varying I/O requirements

with the same base platform, simplifying part number

maintenance, technical expertise requirements and

sparing.

P2 I/O Modes

The MVME5100 supports two, jumper-configurable P2

I/O modes, PMC mode and IPMC mode.

PMC mode is backward compatible with the

MVME2300/MVME2400. In PMC mode, 64 pins from

PMC slot 1 and 46 pins from PMC slot 2 are available on

P2 for PMC rear I/O.

In IPMC mode, the MVME5100 supports legacy

MVME761 or MVME712M I/O modules (with limited

PMC I/O) when an IPMC761 or IPMC712 PMC card is

populated in PMC slot 1. In this configuration, PMC

slot 2 contains some signals that are reserved for

extended SCSI.

IPMC Modules

The IPMC761 and IPMC712 are optional add-on PMC

modules that provide backward compatibility with

previous-generation Motorola products (such as

MVME2600 and MVME2700) using the MVME761 or

MVME712M transition board. IPMC modules provide

rear I/O support for the following:

• One single-ended Ultra Wide SCSI port

• One parallel port

• Four serial ports (2 or 3 async and 1 or 2 sync/async,

depending on module)

With this PMC card configuration, the memory

mezzanine, one PMC slot and the PMCspan are still

available, providing support for OEM product

customization
