Mission
Viejo, California, October 2006 - Dynatem
is now shipping the Intel Pentium M-based C3PM. The C3PM
supports an x86 processor that is ideal for embedded, rugged
applications with its low power consumption. The high-speed 855GME
& 6300ESB chipset supports a 66 MHZ PCI-X expansion bus that can
fully utilize the two Gb Ethernet ports available on the C3PM with no
data transfer bottleneck. An attached sub-module supports
CompactFlash for single-slot booting. I/O routed to the backplane
includes a Serial ATA port, two Gb Ethernet ports, SVGA, two USB 2.0
ports, and two COM ports.
The C3RM was designed in compliance with VITA 30.1-2002 so it comes
with top and bottom cooling plates that are bonded to the major
components through thermal conduction and to the heat conducting
printed circuit board mechanically. Wedge locks secure the C3RM
in the chassis and bring the module's heat from the cooling plates
and the PCB and, ultimately, the components to a heat plate in the
chassis. The C3PM has no socketed components, other than the
optional CompactFlash drive (PXE is supported for diskless booting),
so it remains rugged in high shock and vibration
environments.
The C3PM's
Pentium M processor utilizes a new micro architecture to meet the
current and future demands of high-performance, low-power embedded
computing, making it ideal for communications and industrial
automation applications. It features advanced branch prediction
capability, micro-ops fusion for improved instruction execution, and
a dedicated hardware stack manager that employs sophisticated
hardware control for improved stack management.
The C3PM's 855GME and 6300ESB chipset includes DRAM controller, PCI
bus arbitration logic and interface, high-performance PCI, USB 2.0
interfaces, RTC, NV-RAM, standard PC timers, Ultra DMA, and interrupt
logic. The chipset also provides Ultra ATA 100/66/33 IDE
protocol (for the CompactFlash drive sub-module that mounts to the
top cooling plate) and Serial ATA. The C3PM comes populated with
512 MB of DDR-266 SDRAM with ECC and a memory bandwidth of 2.1
GB/s.
The 855GME offers integrated, high-performance graphics that can
support resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 MHz. The C3PM routes
an SVGA graphics interface to the J2 backplane connector.
The 6300ESB supports PCI-X transfer rates of 66 MHz (64-bit) for the
high-bandwidth 82546 dual-port Gb Ethernet controller. The
6300ESB's other PCI port, a 32-bit @ 33 MHz interface, supports a
PLX6254 PCI-CompactPCI bridge chip for the backplane
interface. This is a 'universal' PCI-PCI bridge that can be used
in the system slot on the backplane (in the transparent mode) or any
of the peripheral slots (in the non-transparent mode).
The C3PM routes two USB 2.0 ports and two
COM ports to the J2 backplane connector. One SerialATA port, two
Gbit Ethernet ports, and the VGA interface are also routed to J2. A
rear transition module is available that provides industry standard
connectors for VGA, 2 x USB, 2 x LAN, SATA, and two COM port.
Dynatem offers board support packages for such popular operating
systems as VxWorks, Windows NT, Windows XP, Linux, QNX, and
Solaris. Support for other operating systems can be quoted upon
request. PXE is available for diskless booting and fully
volatile operation - desirable in secure systems.
Pricing for the C3PM starts at $3,100 in single
quantity. Customized versions can be quoted upon
request. The, a convection-cooled C3PM, is already
shipping. C3RM conduction-cooled version will ship November 1,
2006.
