Applications

The MVME162P4 family provides an ideal platform for OEMs and solution developers of

for embedded monitoring applications. It allows OEMs to incorporate

engineering costs when integrating value-added hardware and software

applications to off-the-shelf products.

To provide this wide range of solutions, the MVME162P4 allows a variety of

MPU, memory and interface options such as floating point, Ethernet, SCSI and VME.

The result is a variant of the MVME162P4 that is best suited to application

requirements

Includes new "Petra" Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs)

Replaces functionality previously implemented in the IP2 chip, MC2 chip and MCECC chip.

Improves the performance of the memory subsystem. Memory Configuration Switches

Enables customers to customise memory size configurations for applications that require less memory.

The microprocessor option MVME162P4 is available by allowing for

several types of MPU options. Features such as clock

speed and floating point capability can be selected.

Memory Expansion The MVME162P4 provides a configurable SDRAM.

The size of the memory is determined by switch settings

as well as the memory device.

VMEbus Interface The VMEbus interface ASIC includes a local bus

VMEbus DMA controller, VME board support functions, the

and global control and status registers (GCSRs) for

microprocessor communications. The device also

supports the VME D64 specification to further enhance

system performance.

Conversion ModuleThe optional MVME712M conversion module is available

to support pairs of standard I/O connections using the

MVME162P4 series. This module accepts I/O

connections for on-board peripherals

MVME162P4 series from the P2 connection

module into a conversion module with industry-standard

connections.

IndustriPack Interface A key feature of the MVME162P4 is the IndustriPack

Logic Interface. This interface provides a 32-bit data path

from the IndustriPack module to the local MC68040.

The bus IndustriPack module offers a wide range of

connections to "real-world" applications (e.g., I/O).

control, interface, analogue and digital functions. Up to

four single-width or two double-width IndustriPack

modules can be mounted on the MVME162P4

occupying only one VME time slot. Since I/O needs to be changed

IndustriPack modules can be installed, thus protecting the

customer's overall investment.
