New MM50 ESMini(TM) Module - PowerPC® and Low Power Dissipation for Mobile Applications
Nuremberg, Germany - The world is becoming faster, harsher, more critical and more space saving. So are the demands for modern technologies - and these demands are just right for MEN. The MM50 is the second ESMini module in an ultra-small form factor to hit the market. Based on the MPC5121e or the MPC5123, the module has an extremely low power dissipation, which is ideal for use in mobile applications.
Keep a Cool Head with ESMini
The MM50 is MEN's latest ultra-small computer-on-module. The ESMini module is based on the MPC5121e or MPC5123 PowerPC processors, which have an MMU and FPU and come with a powerful 760 MIPS using clock frequencies of up to 400 MHz. The e300-core processors pair a display interface unit - with or without a 3D graphics engine - and integrated I/O features with low power up to 3 Watts maximum and unparalleled price/performance. This makes MEN's MM50 ESMini module an ideal solution for industrial, mobile and mission-critical applications.
The DDR2 SDRAM with a size of up to 512 MB is soldered against shock and vibration. At its side, the module provides non-volatile FRAM and the option of mass storage expansion through SDHC on the carrier board.
Apart from serial I/O such as USB, the MM50 also has legacy interfaces like CAN bus, COM, Fast Ethernet, I2C and GPIO. In addition, the MM50 is equipped with an excellent graphics controller and audio. Together with its low power dissipation, this makes it an ideal platform to build up compact control systems with the need for visualization. Six individually programmable controllers give further flexibility to implement serial I/O.
As all ESMini modules, the MM50 is also tested and released for use in operating temperatures from -40 to +85°C. The module can also be equipped with a conduction-cooling enclosure. To test all of the MM50's functions and to develop your application, you can use the XC4 evaluation carrier board in microATX format.
About ESMini Modules
An ESMini module measures only 95mm x 55mm. It is specified for an operating temperature of -40°C to +85°C. An optional version with a conduction-cooling frame also gives the module full EMC protection. The module can even be used without an enclosure without any problems.
ESMini modules are firmly screwed to a carrier board and come with rugged, industry-proven and railway-compliant connectors with differential signals. By standard, only soldered components are used to withstand shock and vibration, and the design is optimized for conformal coating.
MEN Mikro Elektronik - Profile and Mission
Embedded Solutions - Rugged Computer Boards and Systems for Harsh, Mobile and Mission-Critical Environments
Since its foundation in 1982 our company designs and manufactures failure-safe computer boards and systems for extreme environmental conditions in industrial and safety-critical embedded applications.
With over 200 employees and subsidiaries in France and the USA we have an annual revenue of around 30 million Euros with an export share of about 50%. Customized solutions make for more than half of our revenue. In addition the standard product range includes far more than 100 different computer boards with Intel® and PowerPC® with the corresponding BIOS, BSP and driver software, manifold I/O boards and completely configured systems based on:
The consistent use of FPGA technology gives us high flexibility when configuring customized and standard products.
Our products are used worldwide as control, measuring, and test or simulation computers in all kinds of embedded applications. These are extremely safety-critical mobile markets like railway, buses, agricultural machines, commercial vehicles, avionics and shipbuilding as well as other mission-critical applications. Computer systems in such applications are in operation up to 24 hours every day and often need to be available for 10 years and longer. Ideally no failures must occur to avoid costly downtimes of machines or danger to human life.
We are certified to EN 9100:2003 (aerospace), IRIS (railway), ISO 9001:2000 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2005 (environmental management) in order to meet the severe quality requirements in critical applications and to offer our customers the highest quality in products and services while considering environmental protection and occupational safety on the basis of a recognized quality management system.
Our aim is to constantly improve and to provide the highest technology and innovation level. Our business ethics is determined by the principles of the United Nations' Global Compact Initiative (human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption).
