Concurrent Technologies has announced the release of the PP EMB/P34 Peripheral Slot Controller CPU board, a single slot 6U CompactPCI Board featuring the Flip-Chip Pentium III processor.
Hot-Swap PMC Carrier allows continuous operation
The PP PMC/002 is designed to provide a cost effective and flexible approach to implementing standard and custom I/O requirements using industry standard PMC modules in CompactPCI systems.
As a system controller, the PP CP1/P3x supports the PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap Specification.
The board can also be used in satellite mode (stand-alone mode) for applications not requiring the CompactPCI backplane except for providing power.
Featuring the 850MHz Pentium III processor and up to 1 Gbyte DRAM within a single slot, this feature-rich board is ideal for a variety of applications, including those requiring long life availability, configuration control, and high reliability.

High performance single slot CompactPCI controller
Concurrent Technologies has announced the release of its new single slot 6U CompactPCI System Controller Board featuring an 850MHz Intel Flip-Chip PGA 370 Pentium III processor in a single slot.
Applications are expected in a variety of market sectors including defence, medical, and telecommunications.
At the core of the design is the Intel 850 MHz Pentium III, which supports 100MHz bus, and 256 Kbytes of high speed secondary cache.
For increased reliability, as with all Concurrent Technologies' designs, heatsinks are used in preference to fans for cooling the CPU, whilst maintaining a single slot solution.
The board provides a minimum of 512 Mbytes of S-DRAM which can easily be upgraded to 1 Gbyte using standard off the shelf DRAM modules.
EIDE is supported and an optional on-board 2.5 inch disk drive is available within a single slot.
Alternatively, 1 or 2 CompactFlash modules can be installed.
In addition, 8 Mbytes of application flash memory is provided.
Two fast Ethernet channels are provided using Intel 82599ER devices and each channel supports 10Base-T and 100 Base-TX.
The channels are individually switchable between the front panel RJ45 connectors and rear connectors.
Support is also provided for PICMG 2.16 Packet Switching Backplane.
Two RS232 serial channels are provided, together with a graphics interface with AGP support using the Asiliant 69030 device.
Other interfaces include keyboard and mouse interface, PC real- time clock, 2 USB interfaces, parallel printer, watchdog timer, system fan monitor and speaker interface.
The board's features can be further customized to suit the user's application by the addition of a PMC module.
An optional transition module is also available.
For ease of integration, the PP CP1/P3x supports many of today's leading operating systems, including Windows NT, VxWorks, and Linux.
