Motorola MVME162-213 Embedded Controller

• VMEbus Interface:
  • A32/D64 VMEbus master/slave interface with system controller functionality.
  • High-performance DMA support for VMEbus D64 and local bus memory burst cycles.
• I/O Interfaces:
  • Two serial communication ports (EIA-232-D DTE for the console port; the second port configurable for EIA-232-D/EIA-422 DTE/DCE).
  • Four 16/32-bit IndustryPack® ports, each with an independent DMA channel for flexible I/O expansion.
  • Optional SCSI bus interface with 32-bit local bus burst DMA.
  • Optional 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface with 32-bit local bus DMA.
• Timers and Watchdog:
  • Six 32-bit timers (four independent of VMEbus) and a watchdog timer for system stability.
• Interrupt Handling:
  • VMEbus four-level requester, seven-level interrupter, and seven-level interrupt handler.
• Other Features:
  • Remote RESET/ABORT/STATUS control functionality.
  • Onboard debugger and diagnostic firmware for easy troubleshooting.

Key Features:

• High Performance: The MC68040 processor, combined with large-capacity memory and DMA support, ensures fast and efficient data processing.
• Rich I/O Options: Multiple serial ports, IndustryPack® ports, SCSI, and Ethernet interfaces provide flexible connectivity for various peripherals.
• Reliability: Battery-backed SRAM and NVRAM prevent data loss during power failures. Hardware watchdog timer enhances system stability.
• Scalability: The module supports memory expansion up to 64MB and can accommodate up to four single-width or two double-width IndustryPack® modules.
• Industrial-Grade Design: Robust construction withstands extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C) and mechanical stress, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with VME64x systems and earlier MVME series devices, reducing upgrade costs.
