MOTOROLA MVME162-12 Dual height VME module

The MOTOROLA MVME162-12 is a Double Height VME module belonging to the MVME16x family of products. VME (VMEbus Module Extension) is a widely used standard interface for connecting various processor boards, memory boards, and I/O boards in embedded systems. Due to its double-height design, the MVME162-12 generally provides more space to accommodate more functional components and expansion interfaces.

Here are some of the key features and specifications of the MOTOROLA MVME162-12 dual Height VME module:

Processor: The MVME162-12 is typically powered by a PowerPC processor, a high-performance RISC processor for embedded applications that require fast execution and real-time response.

Dual-height design: A dual-height module means it takes up twice as much space on the VMEbus backplane as a standard single-height module. This design provides a larger physical space to accommodate more boards and interfaces, thereby increasing the module's scalability and performance.

Memory and storage: The MVME162-12 supports multiple memory and storage configurations, including SIMMs (Single in-line memory modules) and other types of storage devices. The size and type of memory depends on the specific configuration of the module and the requirements of the system.

I/O and peripheral interface: As a dual-height module, the MVME162-12 usually provides a richer I/O and peripheral interface, such as serial port, parallel port, network interface, high-speed data channel, etc. These interfaces allow the module to communicate with external devices, sensors, and other peripherals.

Expansion capabilities: The MVME162-12 may contain expansion slots or connectors for adding daughter boards, dedicated processors, or other functional modules. This modular design enables system builders to customize and optimize the system according to specific needs.

Operating system support: The module supports a variety of operating systems, such as Unix, Linux, and so on. These operating systems provide a stable and reliable platform for application development and deployment.

Embedded applications: MVME162-12 is commonly used in embedded applications that require high performance, real-time capabilities and reliability, such as industrial control, scientific instruments, communications equipment, medical equipment, etc.
