GENERAL INFORMATION 1 Introduction This user’s manual provides general information, preparation for use and installation instructions, operating instructions, and a functional description for the MVME197LE version of the MVME197 series of single board computers. General Description The MVME197LE module is a double-high VMEmodule based on the MC88110 RISC microprocessor. The MVME197LE has 32/64MB of DRAM, 1MB of FLASH memory, 8KB of static RAM (with battery backup), a time of day clock (wit

General Information 1 For the MVME197 series, the term Local Bus, as used in Note other MVME1xx Single Board Computer series, is referred to as the Local Peripheral Bus. The DCAM (DRAM Controller and Address Multiplexer) ASIC provides the address multiplexers and RAS/CAS/WRITE control for the DRAM as well as data control for the ECDM. The ECDM (Error Correction and Data Multiplexer) ASIC multiplexes between four data paths on the DRAM array. Since the device handles 16 bits, four such device

Equipment Required 1 While the exact amount of airflow required for cooling depends on the ambient air temperature and the type, number, and location of boards and other heat sources, adequate cooling can usually be achieved with 10 CFM and 490 LFM flowing over the module. Less airflow is required to cool the module in environments having lower maximum ambients. Under more favorable thermal conditions, it may be possible to operate the module reliably at higher than 55° C with increased ai
