MOTOROLA MVME2100 Series VME Processor Modules
MVME2100 Series VME Processor Modules
Modular single-board computer providing high-performance expansion I/O
The MVME2100 series of VME processor modules is a family of highly modular single
board computers for VME applications. At the heart of the MVME2100 is the
MPC8240. a highly integrated PowerPC architecture microprocessor with an MPC60x
class core, an advanced memory controller, and a peripheral component interconnect
(PCI) interface. With the MPC8240 and a combination of a PCI mezzanine card (PMC)
and PC•MIP mezzanine slots, the MVME2100 provides customers with a high
performance building block for I/O expansion in industrial automation,
telecommunications, medical, scientific, or imaging applications

MVME2100
PC•MIP Expansion
To maximize I/O expansion flexibility, the MVME2100
features a combination of PC•MIP and PMC slots.
PC•MIP is a new mezzanine standard that combines the
benefits of the small form factor of IndustryPack with the
performance of PCI. The PC•MIP specification is in draft
form before the VMEbus International Trade Association
(VITA) Standards Organization as VITA 29. It is available
in PDF format at VITA’s standards Web page:
http://www.vita.com/vso/stds.html
The MVME2100 provides one Type I PC•MIP slot with
rear I/O via the P2 connector and two Type II PC•MIP
slots with front panel I/O. The two Type II slots can
accept either one double-wide or two single-wide
PC•MIP cards.
PMC Expansion
In addition to three PC•MIP slots, the MVME2100
provides one IEEE P1386.1 compliant PMC slot that
supports both front-panel and P2 I/O, and a mating
connector to a PMC expansion mezzanine for
applications requiring more real estate. A complete
catalog of available off-the-shelf PMCs can be found at
http://www.groupipc.com
In addition to providing high-performance expansion I/O,
the mezzanine slots form a common architecture for
future generations of products. Changing I/O
requirements can be satisfied by simply replacing the
PMC or PC•MIP mezzanines while reusing the same
base platform, reducing the long-term cost of ownership.

VME64 Extension Connectors
To maximize the capabilities of the MVME2100. 5-row,
160-pin DIN connectors replace the 3-row, 96-pin
connectors historically used on VME for P1 and P2. Two
rows, Z and D, have been added to the VME P1/J1 and
P2/J2 connectors providing a user with additional I/O.
The VME64 extension connector is 100 percent
backward compatible with existing VME card systems.
Front Panel Handle Options
Part of the VME64x specification defines the use of new
injector/extractor handles as defined by IEEE 1101.10. A
primary benefit of this handle type is easier insertion
and ejection of the VME board into and out of a
backplane. Motorola offers versions of our products that
are compatible with this standard.
In addition, we provide versions with the small Scanbe
handles traditionally provided on VME. Consult your
sales representative for part numbers and ordering
