Aitech C106

Introduction

The C106 is a member of Aitech's C10x VME SBC family. It is designed for harsh environment applications and targeted for very high performance, low power and multiple I/O capabilities.

In addition to the large on board I/O capabilities the C106 is equipped with two on-board PMC sites and 64-bit 33 MHz PCI bus on P0. The C106 may be expanded to manage multiple PMC cards through its on board PMC sites or via PMC carrier board(s) through the PCI expansion bus available at its P0 connector.

This powerful single board computer combines an enhanced processing engine with versatile and flexible I/O. Powered by Motorola's advanced PowerPC® G4+ MPC7447A microprocessor at 1.4 GHz with its integrated on-chip L1 and L2 caches, the C106 provides unmatched processing capability.

A large and fast SDRAM array is provided with additional memory arrays, such as Flash for user application storage, high-density Flash File for mass storage purposes and NVRAM for user/application specific parameters storage.

In addition to its high performance processor architecture, the C106 provides unparalleled I/O capabilities, all integrated on board. I/O interfaces include three fast Ethernet ports, two dual redundant MIL-STD- 1553B interfaces, two USB 2.0 ports, ten standard UART serial ports, and several types of discrete I/O channels.

The C106 internal architecture is based on two 64-bit wide PCI buses operating at 33 MHz. One of these buses is used to host all on-board PCI peripherals and the two PMC sites. The other is routed to P0 and provides a 64-bit/33 Mhz PCI bus expansion over the backplane through the P0 connector, enabling additional capabilities/features integration through a PCI expansion carrier board.

The C106 implements a fully compliant VME64x interface using Tundra's Universe II PCI to VME Bridge.

The C106 highly integrated design guarantees unmatched performance and versatility currently available on any rugged conduction or air-cooled PowerPC® VME SBC.
