ADLINK Debuts 6U CompactPCI® Universal Processor Blade with Optional Extended Temperature Range and Rugged Conduction Cooling



The energy-efficient cPCI-6880 series features the Intel® 45 nm Core(TM)2 Duo processor and is suitable for Military, Transportation, Aviation and Communications markets.

July 29, 2009, San Jose, Calif - ADLINK Technology Inc., a leading provided of CompactPCI products, announced the release of the cPCI-6880 series of 6U CompactPCI® blades featuring the 45 nm Intel® Core(TM)2 Duo processor T9400 with a 2.53 GHz core speed, 6 MB L2 cache, 1066 MHz FSB, and a 40 W typical total power consumption. The cPCI-6880 utilizes the latest Mobile Intel® GM45 Graphics Memory Controller Hub, supporting dual-channel DDR2-800 SDRAM on one SO-DIMM socket and an optional 4 GB of soldered onboard memory for a maximum of 8 GB.

By balancing computing performance and power consumption in a CompactPCI blade for the embedded market, the cPCI-6880 is the ideal solution for transportation, military and mission critical applications, with its soldered memory and optional extended operating temperature range of -20° to +70°C. To meet the needs of applications in harsh environments with extreme thermal range, vibration, shock or other stresses, a rugged conduction-cooled version with the same electronic design as the cPCI-6880, the CT-60, will be available in Q4 of 2009.

With the Intel® 45 nm Core(TM)2 Duo processor, GM45 Express Chipset and integrated Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, the cPCI-6880 not only provides excellent computing performance but also graphics efficiency with a 40% improvement on the 3DMark06 score over the previous generation GME965. A DVI-I interface is provided on the front panel and VGA is routed to the Rear Transition Module (RTM). The cPCI-6880 can be operated in a system slot as master or in a peripheral slot (universal mode) to meet compute-density needs.

The cPCI-6880 Series accommodates a 2.5" Serial ATA hard drive directly mounted on the SBC and RTM, an optional CompactFlash® slot and built-in 4 GB USB NAND flash for additional storage options. Available I/O includes four GbE ports (two on the front panel, two for rear I/O or PICMG 2.16), three USB 2.0 ports, and one RJ-45 serial port.
For I/O expansion, the cPCI-6880 Series offers one PCI-X 64-bit/66 MHz PMC site and user defined I/O signals to the rear I/O. Available RTMs additionally provide three SATA ports, five USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232 serial ports, two GbE ports, PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, Mic-in and Line-out ports and 68-pin Ultra 320 SCSI interface with hardware RAID 1 capability.

The cPCI-6880 Series is validated for use with Microsoft® Windows XP Professional and x64 Edition, Windows Vista x64 Edition, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 and Vxworks 6.6.
