Features Descriptions
General
As stated earlier, the MVME5100 is a high-performance VME based
Single Board Computer featuring Motorola’s PowerPlus II architecture
with a choice of processors. The board can be equipped with either the
Motorola MPC7410 processor with AltiVec™ technology for algorithmic
intensive computations or with the low-power MPC755 or MPC750 for
low-power or field applications.
Designed to meet the needs of OEMs servicing the military and aerospace,
industrial automation, and semiconductor process equipment market
segments, the MVME5100 is available in both commercial grade (0° to
55° C) and industrial grade (–20° to 71° C) temperatures.
The MVME5100 has two Input/Output (I/O) modes of operation: PMC
and SBC (also called 761 mode or IPMC mode). In PMC mode, it is fully
backwards compatible with previous generation dual PMC products such
as the MVME2300 and MVME2400.
In the SBC mode, the MVME5100 is backwards compatible with the
corresponding Motorola MVME712 or MVME761 transition board
originated for use with previous generation single-board computer
products, such as the MVME2600 and MVME2700.
It is important to note that MVME712 and MVME761 compatibility is
accomplished with the addition of the corresponding IPMC712 or
IPMC761 (an optional add-on PMC card). The IPMC712 and IPMC761
provides rear I/O support for one single-ended ultra-wide SCSI device, one
parallel port, four serial ports (two synchronous for 761 and one for 712,
and two asynchronous/synchronous for 761 and three for 712), and I

functionality through the Hawk ASIC. This multi-function PMC card is
offered with the MVME5100 as a factory bundled configuration.
