An extended temperature version of Concurrent Technologies' popular VP 100/010 VME single board computer which uses Intel's 800 MHz Low Voltage Pentium III Processor 512 K, has been released. Available through Systematic Designs, the VP 100/010-E has now increased the range of applications for those requiring an operating environment of -25 to +70°C, typically within the defence and transportation markets. This single slot board supports a single PMC site (32/64-bit interface up to 66 MHz) with an expansion connector providing two further PMC sites on an optional extended temperature carrier. EIDE and Ultra Wide SCSI interfaces are provided. An optional on-board EIDE CompactFlash extended temperature carrier is also available.

At the core of the VP 100/010-E is the Low Voltage 800 MHz Intel Pentium III 'Tualatin' processor in Flip-Chip package. The processor supports 512 KB of high-speed secondary cache and, in conjunction with the ServerWorks ServerSet III LE chipset, operates a 133 MHz front side bus alongside a 32-bit PCI bus and a 64-bit PCI bus. As with all Concurrent Technologies' designs, heat sinks are used in preference to fans for cooling the CPU.

Soldered on board, is 512 MB or 1 GB of 133 MHz ECC S-DRAM that can easily be upgraded to 1,5 GB via the onboard memory socket. Other features available are a dual 10baseT/100baseTX Ethernet interface, keyboard/mouse interface, PC realtime clock, 2 RS232 channels, 2 USB ports, parallel printer port, watchdog timer, long duration timer and an Asiliant Technologies 69030 graphics interface including digital flat panel support. A P2 breakout module is provided to facilitate integration in specific applications requiring rear I/O connection.

For ease of integration, the VP 100/010-E supports many of today's leading operating systems, including VxWorks, Linux, LynxOS, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP Embedded, RTX and Solaris.
