The MVME5100 is a high-performance VME processor module featuring the
Motorola Computer Group (MCG) PowerPlus II architecture with a choice of
PowerPC

®

processors—either Motorola’s MPC7400 with AltiVec

technol-

ogy for algorithmic-intensive computations or the low-power MPC750.

Based on an integrated PCI bridge–memory controller ASIC designed by
MCG, PowerPlus II takes memory performance to new levels with 582MB/s
memory read bandwidth and 640MB/s burst write bandwidth. Plus, Power-
Plus II architecture supports full PCI throughput of 264MB/s without starving
the CPU from its memory.

The MVME5100 is designed to meet the needs of OEMs servicing the military
and aerospace, industrial automation, and semiconductor process equipment
market segments.
