Mission Viejo, California, September 10, 2005—- Dynatem is now introducing an improved version of their Intel Pentium M-based DPM. The new DPM now optionally supports 1.8 GHz Pentium M processors. The power consumption of the 1.8 GHz Pentium M is considerably higher than the standard 1.4 GHz Pentium M so Dynatem will implement speed-stepping to clock down the CPU at higher temperatures. This way the broad operating temperature ranges can be achieved.
Additionally, the DPM has been revised to route both the LPC interface and a USB port to the P0 connector. The purpose behind this is to facilitate all-front-panel I/O access for systems where I/O cannot be routed from behind the backplane. Dynatem is also introducing the TBQ transition board which brings P0 I/O to the front panel (two Gb Ethernet ports, a COM port, PS/2 keyboard/mouse, and Audio In and Out (the USB port is routed to a Codec)). The TBQ also supports two 2.5” Serial ATA hard drives on-board.
The DPM offers a high-performance x86 processor that is ideal for embedded applications with its low power consumption. The high-speed 855GME & 6300ESB chipset supports a 66 MHZ PCI-X expansion bus that can fully utilize the two Gb Ethernet ports available on the DPM with no data transfer bottleneck. A 10/100BaseTX port, an RS-232 COM port, a DVO/VGA port, and two USB 2.0 ports are all accessible from the front panel. On-board CompactFlash permits single-slot booting. Additional I/O routed to the backplane includes IDE, two Serial ATA ports, two Gb Ethernet ports (VITA 31.1 compatible), DVO/VGA, more USB 2.0 or a variety of standard PC I/O made available with a Super I/O device on rear plug-in cards (LPT1, PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard, FDC, two RS-232/422/485 ports ). A PMC expansion site permits I/O tailored to users’ application requirements.
The DPM’s 855GME & 6300ESB chipset includes DRAM controller, PCI bus arbitration logic and interface, high-performance PCI, USB 2.0 interfaces, RTC, NV-RAM, standard PC timers, Ultra DMA, and interrupt logic. The chipset also provides Ultra ATA 100/66/33 IDE protocol and Serial ATA.
The DPM comes populated with 512 MB or 1 GB of DDR-266 SDRAM with ECC and a memory bandwidth of 2.1 GB/s.
The 855GME offers integrated, high-performance graphics that can support resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 MHz. The DPM provides a DVI-I graphics interface connector on the front panel that integrates a PaneLink digital graphic interface with a conventional SVGA analog interface. The 6300ESB supports PCI-X transfer rates of 66 MHz (64-bit) for the on-board PMC site and the high-bandwidth 82546 dual-port Gb Ethernet controller.
Front panel I/O includes DVO/VGA, dual USB 2.0, and a 10/100BaseTX port. The secondary IDE interface is routed to the on-board CompactFlash connector while the primary IDE is routed through P2. The DPM supports either two additional USB 2.0 ports and a COM port routed to P2 or a Low Pin Count (LPC) bus routed through P2 to a Super I/O device located on the optional rear plug-in module. That Super I/O device provides standard PC I/O, such as two COM ports (each selectable for RS-232/422/485), floppy disk controller, PS/2 mouse/keyboard interface, and a parallel printer port. The rear plug-in card uses standard interfaces for all I/O.
The Tundra Universe IID PCI-VMEbus interface chip allows 64-bit VMEbus transfer rates over 30 MB/sec. Full VMEbus System Controller functions are provided. Versions of the DPM without the Universe IID installed offer a lower-cost, non-VMEbus- compatible option.
Dynatem offers board support packages for such popular operating systems as VxWorks, Windows NT, Windows XP, Linux, QNX, and RTX. Support for other operating systems can be quoted upon request.
Pricing for the DPM starts at $3,350 in single quantity. Customized versions can be quoted upon request. Other x86-based VMEbus processor boards from Dynatem include the extended temperature/rugged DPC2, the low-cost DMC with two PMC sites in a single VMEbus slot, and the high-performance DHC. The RPM, a ruggedized version of the DPM, with stiffener bar, conduction-cooling and -40°/+85° C operating temperature range, will be available in January 2005.
