6U CompactPCI CPU

The CP603 is a Mobile Pentium III-based 6U CompactPCI CPU that delivers high performance, reduced power consumption, and extended temperature ranges for harsh environment applications. The board is ideal for telecom and other high availability applications.

It utilizes a Pentium III processor in a 370-pin FCPGA (Flip Chip Pin Grid Array) package, which operates at a clock speed of up to 850 MHz, with a 256 Kbytes on-die full speed L2 cache and new Advanced Transfer Cache technology. The 0.18 micron Coppermine technology provides reduced power consumption over other Pentium microprocessors.

The board features a 64-bit CompactPCI interface, which permits data transfer rates of up to 264 Mbytes/sec. It provides up to 768 Mbytes of cacheable ECC memory using three 168-pin DIMM sockets. The unit is available in both standard (0°C to +60°C) and extended (-25°C to +75°C) operating temperature ranges.

The CPU features a high-definition AGP/VGA graphics controller with 4 Mbytes of video RAM (maximum resolution is 1600x1200 pixels), two Fast Ethernet interfaces, one Ultrawide SCSI interface, and a slot for PMC mezzanine modules (with 3.3V capability). It can be equipped with an optional IDE-compatible hard drive disk, up to 144 MHz DiskOnChip Flash memory, and a second CompactPCI bus so that up to 14 slots can be addressed. Other features include rear I/O via P3, P4, and P5 connectors, and hot-swap support to allow peripheral boards to be removed or added in the "power-on" condition. Software support is via Windows NT and/or real-time operating systems such as VxWorks and QNX.
