The PowerMIDAS C5000 integrates PowerPC CPUs, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and dual PMC module I/O devices into a single 6U CompactPCI system.
Typical high-performance embedded applications requiring PowerMIDAS's power and flexibility include surveillance, signal intelligence, and telemetry as well as semiconductor and medical imaging systems. With the CompactPCI form factor, the PowerMIDAS can also be utilized in industrial and telecom applications.
The PowerMIDAS C5000 has enhanced capabilities in connecting various I/O due to the optional Rear Transition Module (RTM) that can bring additional signals in and out, including Gigabit Ethernet, through the back panel.
The PowerMIDAS C5000 for CompactPCI utilizes the AMCC PPC440GX PowerPC CPU core running at 800 MHz, 1 GB local DDR-SDRAM memory, 32 MB FLASH memory, two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection and two serial connections (RS-232 or RS-422).
The PowerMIDAS C5000 has more capabilities in connecting various I/O due to the optional Rear Transition Module that can bring out additional signals, including Gigabit Ethernet, through the back panel. The CompactPCI standard is defined in several PIC-MG specifications widely used in the industry for ensuring compatibility between boards connected in the same backplane. It also has provisions for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet switched interconnect between boards.
PowerMIDAS C5000 can be used in a Peripheral Slot in a CompactPCI system running 32- or 64-bit, 33 or 66 MHz PCI in the backplane. The PCI-to-PCI bridge interfacing to the backplane is non-transparent; the board appears as an intelligent peripheral card. Memory space and BAR (Base Address Register) settings are configurable from the BSP. PowerMIDAS C5000 has a PCI auto-configurator for the local PCI bus segments.
System slot functionality is designed into the PowerMIDAS C5000 board with small systems in mind. The typical target application is a data recorder system consisting of one (or more) PowerMIDAS C5000 board(s) and one (or more) CompactPCI A/D converter boards, with the backplane bus being used for initialization, setup and synchronization. Such configurations do not require a separate system slot board.
