4-level requester, 7-level interrupter, and
7-level interrupt handler for VMEbus
Low-power, high-performance microprocessor suitable for a variety of
applications
The MVME2400 series of VME boards provides the performance of Motor
ola’s PowerPlus II Architecture and the ability to be fully customized to satisfy
your application needs with two PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMCs). The flexibility
of the MVME2400 provides an excellent base platform that can be quickly
and easily customized for a variety of industry-specific applications.
Utilizing Motorola’s low-power, high-performance PowerPC 750 microproces
sors, the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus for the on-board
peripherals, processor/memory bus to PCI bus bridge, and a VME interface,
the MVME2400 processor modules pack optimum levels of flexibility and per
formance into a single VME slot.
IEEE P1386.1 Compliant PMC Slots
The MVME2400 features dual PMC ports with support for
both front-panel and P2 I/O. P2 I/O-based PMCs which follow
the PMC committee recommendation for PCI I/O when using
the VME64 extension connector will be pin-out compatible
with the MVME2400.
In addition to providing high-performance expansion I/O, the
IEEE P1386.1 compliant PMC ports form a common architec
ture for future generations of products. Changing I/O require
ments can be satisfied by simply replacing PMCs while
reusing the same base platform, reducing the long-term cost

VME64 Extension Connector
To maximize the capabilities of the MVME2400. 5-row 160
pin DIN connectors replace the 3-row 96-pin connectors his
torically 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% backward compatible with existing VME
card systems.
PowerPlus Architecture
A second-generation architecture, PowerPlus II Architecture
is a processor and bus architecture fully optimized to get the
maximum performance from the PowerPC microprocessor
family, the PCI bus, and the VMEbus. Features added to the
original PowerPlus Architecture include support for 100 MHz
local bus operation, and utilization of synchronous DRAM
(SDRAM) technology. The outstanding performance of VME
processor boards based on the PowerPlus II Architecture is
not due to a single factor. A number of elements in the design
of the PowerPlus II Architecture contribute to its outstanding
performance including the Processor/Memory subsystem,
high-speed local bus, optimally decoupled architecture,
decoupling the processor from PCI, and the advanced VME
interface which reduces PCI delays.
