MVME5500 VMEbus High Performance CPU Board with 1 GHz MPC7457 PowerPC Processor and Gigabit Ethernet
The MVME5500 CPU board is equipped with a 1 GHz MPC7457 processor. The MPC7457 CPU disposes of 1 MB L2 and 2 MB L3 cache as well as AltiVec™ vector processor abilities of ARTESYN Embedded Technologies’ G4 processor architecture. The MVME5500 is with 512 or 1024 MB ECC SDRAM available (133 MHz FSB) and provides a 10/100/1000BastTX Gigabit Ethernet as well as 10/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet interface. 40MB Flash is available for applications and operation systems.

The board offers 2 sites for 64bit/66 MHz PMC modules. By the use of of the PMC module IPMC761 or IPMC712 the MVME5500 gets a MVME2600/2700 and MVME5100 compliant I/O pinning on the P2 connector and may combined with the MVME761 transition modules. The IPMC module provides an UW-SCSI, a parallel, and four serial ports.
With PMCspan modules an assembly of up to 4 more 64-bit PMC sites is possible.
