New SVME/DMV-194 is ideal for upgrading legacy SWaP-C constrained VME systems
OTTAWA, CANADA — September 29, 2011 – Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (CWCEC), a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls, and a leading designer and manufacturer of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products for the rugged deployed defense and aerospace market, has introduced the low-cost, ultra-rugged SVME/DMV-194, the newest addition to its industry leading family of cost-effective, low power VME single board computers (SBCs). The 6U VME64 SVME/DMV-194, based on a Freescale™ Power Architecture™ QorIQ P2020 processor with dual 1.2 GHz cores, delivers 6x the compute performance, at nearly the same cost, than was available from earlier VME designs, such as CWCEC’s 179. This rugged air- or conduction-cooled SBC is ideal for upgrading existing SWaP-C constrained systems based on older PowerPC or Power Architecture processors.
The SVME/DMV-194 provides system integrators with an ideal path for the cost effective technology insertion upgrade of legacy VME systems. It also provides a high performance-to-cost-ratio computing component for SWaP-C constrained new designs.
Designed especially for demanding military systems that require maximum processing in extreme temperature conditions, the SVME/DMV-194’s features typical power dissipation rated at 20-25W.
“Whether a system integrator is seeking an affordable upgrade for an existing VME system or looking for a proven open standard based platform for computationally challenging multi-processor applications, the SVME/DMV-194 is an ideal solution,” said Lynn Bamford, vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. “With this new SBC we extend our unmatched commitment to provide our customers with advanced Power Architecture compute engines and a technology roadmap that ensures ongoing support for their long-lifecycle program requirements.”
Available in the full Curtiss-Wright range of ruggedness levels, the SVME/DMV-194 is ideally suited for retrofit and technology insertion applications. The board features two (2) 64-bit PMC/XMC sites and a large complement of I/O including Gigabit Ethernet, up to six (6) serial ports, SATA, 1553 and USB 2.0 ports. To maximize compatibility with earlier SBCs, the SVME/DMV-194 provides an equivalent complement of I/O to that featured in earlier generations of CWCEC PowerPC and Power Architecture SBCs. It also has optional pin-out modes for backplane compatibility. For example, the SVME/DMV-194 eases the upgrade of systems based on the legacy VME/DMV-179, SVME/DMV-181, SVME/DMV-182 and SVME/DMV-183 SBCs.
