The MOTOROLA MVME55006E – 0163R is a high – performance single – board computer designed for VMEbus systems1. It is based on the MPC7450 series PowerPC processor running at 1 GHz, which is well – suited for data – intensive applications1.

This module features 512 KB of on – chip L2 cache and 2 MB of L3 cache, along with an AltiVec coprocessor for high – performance computing applications1. It has two sets of soldered – on flash memory and supports dual independent 64 – bit PCI buses and PMC sites1.

The Marvell system controller integrated in the module supports a 133 MHz host bus and a 133 MHz SDRAM memory bus, matching the high – speed processor perfectly1. To ensure that the system I/O can keep up with the excellent processor performance, the MVME55006E – 0163R provides dual 64 – bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses. Each PCI bus is equipped with a PMC site that can support cards running at 33 or 66 MHz1. The Universe II VME interface and the PMCspan connector are isolated from the PMC site on the dedicated 33 MHz PCI bus segment, enabling both PMC sites to operate at 66 MHz1.
