CompactPCI boards feature Core i7

15 September 2010 Computer/Embedded Technology

Concurrent Technologies has released the TP 702/38x family of 3U 4HP CompactPCI boards featuring the Intel Core i7 processor family. Depending on application requirements, a choice of processors is supported: the 2,53 GHz Core i7-610E, 2,0 GHz Core i7-620LE and the 1,06 GHz Core i7-620UE.

With up to 8 GBytes of DDR3-1066 ECC SDRAM, an optional XMC site, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two SATA disk interfaces and optional graphics, the TP 702/38x offers rear I/O interfaces that are compatible with the popular TP 402/35x family to provide a continuing upgrade path.

The boards’ rear I/O provides two high-speed USB 2.0 ports, one RS232/422/485 and one RS232 port, plus two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with an option for a 2048 x 1536 analog graphics interface. The 32-bit CompactPCI control/data plane throughput can operate at 33/66 MHz backplane PCI signalling speeds. Other features provided are PC real-time clock, watchdog timer, long duration timer, up to eight GPIO signals and a legacy speaker interface. The TP 702/38x-RC conduction-cooled version supports, in a single 3U 4HP slot, an XMC site (via a x4 PCI Express port). All versions can operate as a system controller for up to seven peripheral slots with hot-swap control, as a peripheral board or as a blade.

VITA 31.1 Gigabit Ethernet on a VME64x backplane enables a tried and tested method of implementing a LAN-based multiprocessor architecture by leveraging readily available Ethernet hardware, TCP/IP software, clustering and other network management tools. Using standard networking techniques offers an efficient method of remote booting boards within the chassis, and simplified intercommunication between boards. It can be used as a method of offloading tasks from the standard VME backplane, thereby improving overall application efficiency. VITA 31.1 is suitable for applications such as data acquisition, radar data processing or those requiring data synchronisation across multiple system boards.
