Single Board Computer A6pci7508

Compact PCI single board computer with PowerPC G4 processor, 6U size

The A6pci7508 is a 6U size single slot width high performance Compact PCI single board computer with an onboard Power PC G4 MPC7447A processor by Freescale. The operating clock of the MPC7447A, which is the CPU, is 1 GHz, and it has an internal 64KB L1 cache and a 512 KB L2 cache. The main memory consists of the latest DDR2-SDRAM, and supports CPU and I/O power across a powerful 3.2 GB/s bandwidth. It also supports ECC, enabling correction of single bit data errors, combining high reliability with performance. As a front panel I/O, the A6pci7508 is equipped with 1 ch RS-232C serial ports, 2 ch gigabit Ethernet, one onboard CompactFLASH socket, and two PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) slots.

The A6pci7508 can use either a Compact PCI system slot or a peripheral slot. It automatically recognizes the type of slot, and changes the bridge IC operating mode and whether or not there is a terminating resistor accordingly. While it goes without saying that it can be used as a single central CPU, multiple CPU boards can be added in response to increased processing loads. You can choose from a CPU operating clock of either 600 MHz or 1 GHz, and the memory sizes of 512 MB or 1 GB. The A6pci7508 can handle a wide range of customer requirements.
