Rugged 400 MHz PowerPC-based SBC designed especially for harsh environments

22 February 2006 Computer/Embedded Technology

Further developing on its MIP405 single-board computer, with its new MIP405T SBC, MPL has put strong focus on special requirements like small size, wide temperature range and ruggedness.

Based around the highly-integrated embedded PowerPC processor (PPC405GPr) with a CPU clock of up to 400 MHz (608 DMIPS@400 MHz) the MIP405T offers 10/100 Mbit Ethernet, one 44-pin E-IDE port, two serial ports and a realtime clock.

Additionally, the 16-bit PC/104 (ISA) and the PC/104-Plus (PCI) interface offers easy and flexible expansion capabilities. The SBC can be equipped with up to 128 MB SDRAM and up to 8 MB Flash all on-board soldered. Additional Flash (up to 1 GB) can be plugged in.

The MIP405T is supplied with the Open Source 'U-Boot' bootloader, providing various boot sources like Ethernet, IDE, FLASH. Also, an MPL Embedded Linux distribution and development chain is ready. Realtime OS BSP for VxWorks and QNX can be delivered with the product.

The MIP405T can be expanded with any PC/104 and PC104-Plus Board, and development systems are available.

The MIP405T is intended and designed for use in harsh environments with operating temperature ranging from -40 to +85°C without the need of a heatsink or a fan. Special efforts have been taken on the quality of the components and their long term availability, as well as on the low power consumption of the system (less than 3 W at 400 MHz).

All these features and specialties make the MIP405T ideal for any embedded control application requiring small size, high computing performance and low power consumption. With these properties the MIP405T is being used in airborne and transportation systems, military, industrial or just any raw/secure application.
