Application Information

The TVME8400 VMEbus CPU board is based on the high integrated MPC8245 Power PC microprocessor with a G2 MPC603e CPU core, a powerful Memory Controller and PCI interface.

The TVME8400 provides two PMC slots (32 bit, 33 MHz PCI) with VME64x P2 backplane I/O mapping according to ANSI/VITA 35-2000, Fast Ethernet, FLASH memory, System Memory, NVRAM/RTC and a PCI Expansion Connector (32 bit, 33 MHz PCI).

TVME8400-x1R order options additionally provide the VME P0 connector for full PMC-2 back-I/O support.

The TVME8400 may also be used as a passive or active PMC carrier for the VMEbus (including PMC interrupt handling).

The combination of the MPC8245 processor and the PMC slots plus the PCI Expansion capability provides a powerful CPU and a modular I/O solution for applications in process control, telecommunication, medical systems and traffic control.

Software support for the TVME8400 CPU board is available for VxWorks, Linux, and LynxOS. A PMON Bug Monitor is installed on the TVME8400.
