Yet even when fully configured with a com- plete set of interfaces and its maximum 1GByte Powerful real-time computing—future- memory, the PowerCore CPCI-680 remains a proofed and backward compatible single-slot solution. The PowerCore CPCI-680 brings maximum real-time computing performance in a single slot to both system controller and intelligent peripheral modes. The CPCI-680 is built around the PowerPC 750 or PowerPC G4 7400 processor with their ultra-high speed and ex- tremely low-power consumption characteris- tics. The use of the PowerPC 750 or PowerPC G4 7400, together with up to 1GByte high- speed memory and Sentinel’s on-chip buffers for elevated system performance, enables the CPCI-680 to address the most demanding ap- plications. The CPCI-680 is also backward compatible with earlier members of the Force PowerPC-based PowerCore family of SBCs. Developers can take advantage of the CPCI- 680’s power and performance when running major real-time operating systems (RTOSes) or when deploying applications based on the low- ™ cost, open-source Linux operating system. RTOSes supported by the CPCI-680 include ® ™ VxWorks and LynxOS . ‘Universal-Mode’ PowerCore CPCI-680 ‘Supercomputer’ SBC S PECIFICA TIONS Processor/memory Other features � PowerPC 750 or PowerPC G4 7400 � MK48T58, 8KByte NVRAM real-time clock processor, at 450/500MHz or 400MHz � Z-CIO 8536, 3x16-bit timers, 500ns � Up to 256MBytes onboard ECC-protected resolution SDRAM (option to 1GByte via memory � Watchdog timer module) � Reset and abort switches, status LEDs, Hot � 1 or 2MBytes L2 Cache running at half Swap LED processor speed Power requirements � Up to 16MBytes onboard programmable User Flash PowerCoreCPCI-680/256-450-L1-16 � +5V 1.7 A, +3.3V 1.8 A � 1MByte Boot Flash Environmentals I/O capabilities Operating temperature � PICMG 2.16 compatible via rear transition 0ºC to 55ºC with forced air-cooling board Storage temperature � Up to 2 PMC slots with rear-facing I/O -40ºC to +85ºC � Optional onboard IDE Flash Disk—via Relative humidity CompactFlash interface for Type II cards 5% to 95% non-condensing � Optional Fast Wide SCSI-2 via pre-installed SSIO PMC module Board size � Up to three Fast Ethernet interfaces via Single-slot 6U CompactPCI 82559 160.00mm x 233.35mm � Two 16C550, RS-232 serial interfaces on front panel (option for four additional interfaces) CompactPCI interface � “Universal” PCI-to-PCI bridge—system slot and peripheral slot—32-bit, 33MHz Universal PCI-to-PCI Bridge www.forcecomputers.com Force Computers is the leading designer and worldwide supplier of standard and custom systems, board-level platforms and services for the embedded market.
