ADLINK Technology Presents Value 3U / 6U CompactPCI Blades

ADLINK Technology Inc., a provider of trusted embedded products, has announced availability of the cPCI-3965 and cPCI-6965 Series of high-performance and cost-effective CompactPCI processor blades in 3U and 6U heights respectively. Both low power blades support integrated graphics with 3D graphics engine and dual independent VGA/DVI ports.

The cPCI-3965 and cPCI-6965 feature the Mobile Intel GME965 Express chipset, low power Intel Core2 Duo 2.2 GHz, and up to 4 GB dual channel capable DDR2 RAM, offering a 1.5 times graphics performance gain over the previous 945GME chipset, and provide up to QXGA (2048x1536) resolution and 3 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA) bandwidth. The cPCI-3965 and cPCI-6965 enable greater graphics performance with the integrated Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 and its 32-bit 3D graphics engine with Microsoft DirectX 9 and SGI OpenGL1.5 support, and provide dual independent displays through VGA and DVI ports on the cPCI-3965, and two DVI ports on the front panel of the cPCI-6965.

"The ADLINK value cPCI-3965 and cPCI-6965 CompactPCI® blades enable customers to reduce their equipment investments without compromising performance,” stated Eric Kao, Senior Manager of ADLINK's Modular Computing Product Center. “With the combination of dual-core performance, 3D-rich graphics features, and a high capacity system memory space, the ADLINK cPCI-3965 and cPCI-6965 are ideal choices for numerous applications for customers looking for cost-effective pricing.”

With regard to storage and expansion, the cPCI-3965 and cPCI-6965 both have a reserved space for a 2.5” SATA hard drive mounted onboard and additional SATA signal connectors for external drives. Both blades also provide a true IDE interface CompactFlash socket for mission critical embedded applications. The cPCI-6965 supports one PMC slot for additional I/O on the front panel. Rear Transition Modules are available for the cPCI-3965 & cPCI-6965 Series to provide further I/O expansion.
