Low-power, high-performance microprocessor suitable for a variety of
applications
The MVME2400 series of VME boards provides the performance of Motorola’s PowerPlus II Architecture and the ability to be fully customized to satisfy
your application needs with two PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMCs). The flexibility
of the MVME2400 provides an excellent base platform that can be quickly
and easily customized for a variety of industry-specific applications.
Utilizing Motorola’s low-power, high-performance PowerPC 750 microprocessors, the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus for the on-board
peripherals, processor/memory bus to PCI bus bridge, and a VME interface,
the MVME2400 processor modules pack optimum levels of flexibility and performance into a single VME slot.

PowerPlus Architecture
A second-generation architecture, PowerPlus II Architecture
is a processor and bus architecture fully optimized to get the
maximum performance from the PowerPC microprocessor
family, the PCI bus, and the VMEbus. Features added to the
original PowerPlus Architecture include support for 100 MHz
local bus operation, and utilization of synchronous DRAM
(SDRAM) technology. The outstanding performance of VME
processor boards based on the PowerPlus II Architecture is
not due to a single factor. A number of elements in the design
of the PowerPlus II Architecture contribute to its outstanding
performance including the Processor/Memory subsystem,
high-speed local bus, optimally decoupled architecture,
decoupling the processor from PCI, and the advanced VME
interface which reduces PCI delays.
