General Description
The MCPN750A is a hot swappable CompactPCI, non-system slot, single-
board computer equipped with an MPC750 PowerPC™ 750 Series
microprocessor. The processor implements a backside cache controller
and the board comes with 1MB of cache memory.
As shown in the Features section, the MCPN750A offers many standard
features desirable in a CompactPCI computer system such as L2 cache, a
PCI Bridge and Interrupt Controller, an ECC Memory Controller chipset,
5MB of linear FLASH memory, 16MB to 256MB of ECC-protected
DRAM, interface to a CompactPCI bus, and several I/O peripherals.
I/O peripheral interfaces present onboard include 10BaseT/100BaseTX
Ethernet, USB host controller, four asynchronous serial ports, a 512 x 8
Serial EEPROM, an ISA slave interface, a Fast EIDE interface and two
PMC slots. Functions provided from the ISA bus include a real time clock,
NVRAM, serial ports and status registers.
Interrupts
Software interrupt handling via Raven (PCI-MPU bridge) and
Peripheral Bus Controller
Serial I/O
1 async port (COM1) via front panel. 4 async ports via the transition
module
Ethernet I/O
10BaseT/100BaseTX connection via the front panel, or optionally via
the transition module rear panel.
PCI interface
Two Single Wide, or one Double Wide IEEE P1386.1 PCI Mezzanine
Card (PMC) slots; two sets of four 64 pin CompactPCI connectors (J11-
J14 & J21-J24) for PCI expansion.
CompactPCI
33 MHz, 64-bit CompactPCI interface with 21554 PCI-to-PCI bridge.
USB I/O
USB Host/Hub interface with two ports routed to the transition module
EIDE
Primary EIDE port routed to transition module CompactFlash
connectors.
