The VMIVME-7750-746 brings the Intel Pentium III
processor to VME, offering processor speeds up to 1.26 GHz. The Pentium III processor has 32-bit addressing and a 64-bit data bus. Its superscalar architecture allows three instructions to be executed per clock cycle. A dynamic branch prediction unit,
separate instruction and data caches, and MMX™ technology
also increase the processor’s performance. The Pentium III processor also provides 256 Kbyte (1.26 GHz has 512 Kbyte) of advanced transfer cache (on-die, full speed level 2 cache) using
dual independent bus architecture for high bandwidth and performance.
This serial I/O controller can also be used to support any type of serial protocol for applications other than data communication, such as cartridge or floppy disk interfaces. VMIVME-7750-746 is capable of generating and checking CRC codes in any synchronous mode, and can be programmed to check data integrity in various modes. The controller also has a modem control function, which can be used for general I/O in applications that do not require these controls. VMIVME-7750-746 is designed with two MK68564 SIO dual channel multifunctional peripheral circuits that support self checking function. When the loop mode bit is set in the command register, the loop mode is activated to support built-in testing and analysis functions.
The VMIVME-7750 provides embedded features beyond PC/AT
functionality. These features are supported by GE Fanuc
Embedded Systems software products aimed at developers
who are incorporating GE Fanuc Embedded Systems SBCs, I/O
boards, and workstations into systems. Windows XP/Windows
2000 and VxWorks are the most common operating systems
supported by GE Fanuc Embedded Systems software products.
