Concurrent Introduces 333MHz Pentium II Single-slot CompactPCI

Concurrent Technologies has announced a 333MHz Pentium II based single-slot, 6U size PC compatible CompactPCI workstation - the PP PSE/P23. Based on the latest low-power Intel Pentium II Mobile Module, the board addresses the rapidly growing demand for high performance Intel CPU architectures in the CPCI market while satisfying the market's need for low power consumption, high-performance, high reliability, low physical profile and extended product life.

The PP PSE/P23 is targeted at numerous markets, particularly telecommunications, data communications, industrial applications and scientific applications that require high performance and rich functionality within a single CPCI slot, especially applications that cannot or will not use a CPU fan. Users can leverage the PP PSE/P23's extensive functionality and scalability to quickly implement their own applications.

The PP PSE/P23 uses the latest 0.25-micron technology Pentium II Mobile Module. Today's Mobile Module provides a Pentium II processor operating at 333MHz with 32 Kbytes of L1 cache and 256 Kbytes of full speed L2 cache and utilizes the high-performance 440BX chipset. Maintaining a single CPCI slot, the board also provides up to 384Mbytes of SO-DRAM, Ultra-SCSI, Ultra Wide-SCSI, EIDE with support for Ultra-DMA, USB as well as all the standard PC interfaces for floppy drives, printer port, keyboard, mouse and serial channels. Supplied as a standard feature is a graphics module that provides resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. Also provided is an Ethernet interface, supporting 10BaseT and 100Base-TX through a RJ45 connector on the front panel. Eight Mbytes of Flash EPROM is included with the board, while a separate 512Kbytes Flash EPROM is used for the BIOS. All I/O is accessed via the rear panel, and most I/O can also be accessed through the front panel. A transition module is also available for rear I/O accessibility and can provide additional Flash Memory capability.

The functionality of the PP PSE/P23 can be expanded by the addition of industry standard PMC modules. The board supports a single PMC site that can be used for FDDI, Comms, ATM, additional Ethernet, additional graphics, and SCSI.
