VMETRO Debuts PowerMIDAS C5000 PowerPC PMC Carrier with Fibre Channel
5/5/2005 - VMETRO, a premier provider of high-performance processors, sensor I/O, data recorders, and bus analyzers, introduced the PowerMIDAS C5000, an intelligent dual-PMC I/O controller for CompactPCI. The PowerMIDAS C5000 easily integrates PowerPC CPUs, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and dual PMC module I/O devices into a single 6U CompactPCI system. The VME based PowerMIDAS boards are well established for defense and aerospace applications. Typical high-performance embedded applications requiring PowerMIDAS's power and flexibility include surveillance, signal intelligence, and telemetry as well as semiconductor and medical imaging systems. The CompactPCI form factor opens new markets for VMETRO, such as industrial and telecom applications.
By utilizing the PowerMIDAS C5000, engineers utilize standard I/O capabilities and can begin development of their own core intellectual property. The result is faster time-to-market, reduced cost and superior product differentiation.
PowerMIDAS C5000 offers the following features and benefits:
- Powerful
- 667 MHz (800 MHz) AMCC PowerPC 440GX processor
- 1 GB DDR SDRAM
- Dual PMC sites
- Independent PCI-X bus segments
- Flexible
- Up to two Fibre Channel ports on the front panel without sacrificing either PMC site
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet on J3 according to PICMG 2.16
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet on J5 for fiber or copper interface on Rear Transition Module
- Differential signal routing from PMC-P14 to J3 according to PICMG 2.17 for StarFabric
- Differential signal routing from PMC-P14 to J5 according to PICMG 2.3
- Fast Ethernet on the front panel
- Easy to Use
- Intuitive and well documented APIs
- Ready-to-run application examples and benchmarks
- "Load-and-go" preconfigured application programming projects
- Ready-to-run recording software
- "Application kits" for customizable I/O and recorder solutions
