Albuquerque, NM, September 7, 2005âSBS Technologies® (NASDAQ:SBSE) continues its role as an embedded computer market leader by introducing a powerful new G4 PowerPC Single Board Computer (SBC). Available in convection- or conduction-cooled versions, the 3U CompactPCI CV1 high-performance SBC supports core processor speeds of up to 1 GHz and bus clock rates of 167 MHz. The CV1 is ideal for military applications, such as unmanned aerial vehicles deployed in harsh environments, as well as high-performance applications that must work in an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The CV1 incorporates sophisticated power management technology, and gives engineers ample I/O to work with by providing two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two 32-bit 33/66 MHz PCI bus interfaces, an RS-232 and an RS-422/485 serial I/O ports and ten general-purpose I/O lines to the backplane with separate interrupts and interrupt masking capability.
The CV1 implements a PCI/cPCI bridge that handles 32-bit data transfers to and from the CompactPCI backplane, which allows the CV1 to operate as a system controller or peripheral processor card through its dual mode capability and eliminates the need to stock multiple configurations.
"The small footprint of the 3U CV1 PowerPC single board computer solves the challenge of fitting a rugged high-performance embedded computer into the limited space available in many military and commercial applications. The board's convenient PMC site adds design flexibility that lets system designers easily add virtually limitless connectivity options. Because it's available off-the-shelf, the CV1 lets our customers take their applications to market quickly with reduced testing time and expense", said Wayne McGee, General Manager of the SBS Technologies Single Board Computer design center in North Carolina.
The CV1 supports the Linux, VxWorks and other operating systems as well as the SBS Ready Driver interoperability program.
Price and Availability:
Available now, the pricing for the convection-cooled CV1 in OEM quantities starts at US$2300.
