Low-power 6U VMEbus SBC From MEN Micro Supports Intel Multicore Architectures

MEN Micro Inc., a provider of embedded computing and I/O solutions for industrial, mobile and harsh environment applications, now offers a 6U VMEbus single board computer (SBC) that supports several Intel processors, from the 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo T7400 down to the single core Celeron M.

The A19 employs Intel's low-power 945GME Express Chipset, with an integrated 256-bit graphics engine providing up to 250 MHz for exceptional graphics performance, and enables the connection of two monitors with either the same or different displays. For industrial applications, the A19 comes standard with a tailored passive heat sink and soldered DDR2-RAM system memory (up to 4 GB). The A19 is also prepared for conformal coating.

A Tundra TSI148 bridge controller on the A19 delivers 2eSST functionality that doubles the theoretical VME transaction bandwidth up to 320 MB/s, while maintaining compatibility with legacy standards, including VME64 and VME32.
