MOTOROLA MVME55006E-0161R

Product Name

Motorola MVME55006E-0161R VME64 Single-Board Computer (PowerPC MPC7457 @ 1 GHz, 512 MB ECC SDRAM, Dual PMC Slots, Part Number MVME55006E-0161R).

Product Description

The Motorola MVME55006E-0161R is a high-performance, industrial-grade VME64 single-board computer (SBC) engineered for mission-critical embedded systems requiring long-term reliability and harsh-environment operation. Powered by the PowerPC MPC7457 processor running at 1 GHz with AltiVec coprocessor, 512 KB on-chip L2 cache, and 2 MB L3 cache, it delivers robust compute capability for real-time control, data acquisition, and signal processing. Key features include 512 MB PC133 ECC SDRAM (dual-bank), 40 MB on-board soldered flash (32 MB+8 MB), dual independent 64-bit PCI buses with two PMC expansion slots, and mixed-speed Ethernet (Gigabit+10/100BaseTX) for flexible networking. It supports VME64 master/slave operation, integrates serial ports (RS-232/422/485), USB 2.0, and GPIO for seamless I/O connectivity, and is qualified for extended temperature ranges to suit industrial, aerospace, and defense applications where uptime and determinism are critical.
