Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing has introduced the SCP/DCP-124P, a new high performance rugged 3U CompactPCI (cPCI) single board computer (SBC). The SCP/DCP-124P, which supports PICMG 2.3-compliant mapping of PMC I/O through the backplane, is available in both conduction cooled and air-cooled versions and delivers a rich complement of I/O in a compact 3U form factor. Powered by Freescale's Altivec-enhanced 7448 PowerPC processor, this small form-factor card simplifies the design of space and weight constrained COTS systems for military and aerospace applications. The SCP/DCP-124P is the latest addition to Curtiss-Wright's extensive CompactCore cPCI product family.

"3U Compact PCI is growing in popularity as an SBC platform for space constrained military platforms," said Lynn Patterson, Vice President and General Manager of Modular Solutions, Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. "We developed the SCP/DCP-124P to give system designers greater freedom in developing and deploying high performance systems that require a diversity of I/O on a single small form-factor SBC."

The SCP/DCP-124P, a variant of Curtiss-Wright's popular SCP/DCP-124 3U cPCI SBC, expands I/O flexibility by enabling I/O signals to be routed to the backplane in compliance with the PICMG 2.3 standard. The board is designed to be used in cPCI backplane peripheral slots. Curtiss-Wright also offers a range of 3U cPCI SBCs (SCP/DCP-122,-124,-1201) that can be used in both a peripheral slot or in a system slot as the system controller.

The SCP/DCP-124P supports a full 64-bit PMC site along with a wealth of additional I/O. The board is powered by a 7448 PowerPC that is supported by 1 MB of internal ECC L2 Cache memory running at core processor speed, and up to 1 Gbyte of DDR SDRAM with ECC. The SCP/DCP-124P's cPCI bus operates at 33/66MHz and supports both 3.3V and 5V signaling. System expansion is provided by an on-board 64-bit, 100 MHz PCI-X-capable PMC site. To ease system integration and development, Curtiss-Wright also offers optional rear transition cable sets

The SCP/DCP-124P provides the following features:

• Freescale Altivec-enhanced MPC7448 processor running @1.0 GHz or 1.2GHz processor with support for Dynamic Frequency Shifting (DFS)
