General

The ProDAQ 3043 high-performance Slot-0 Controller provides a powerful, fully customizeable platform for embedded applications. Using Motorola's latest MPC7455 PowerPC processor at speed of 1 GHz and beyond, it provides the computational power for algorithmic-intensive computations.
The ProDAQ 3043 provides more than just faster processor performance; it provides balanced performance from the processor, memory, local buses, and I/O subsystems. The powerful Marvell Discovery system controller, with support for a 133 MHz host bus and a 133 MHz SDRAM memory bus, is well matched to the high-speed processor.
Configuration options enable the ProDAQ 3043 to be used as a VXIbus Processor Module in non-Slot-0 applications.

PMC Expansion Slots

To match the system I/O to the outstanding processor performance, the ProDAQ 3043 provides dual 64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses. Each PCI bus has a PMC site supporting cards running at 33 or 66 MHz. The Universe II VME/VXI interface is isolated from the PMC sites on a dedicated 33 MHz PCI bus segment, so that both PMC sites are capable of 66 MHz operation.

Trigger Interface

The ProDAQ 3043 supports both the VXIbus TTL and ECL trigger lines. Trigger signals can be generated under software control. On detection of a trigger signal a local interrupt can be generated.

Software

Board Support Packages as well as a VISA library and resource manager according to the VXIplug&play standard are available for a number of operating systems. Please contact Bustec Production Ltd. for an up-to-date list.
