FOXBORO CPCI-680 Universal Mode’ Single Board Computer
FOXBORO CPCI-680 Universal Mode’ Single Board Computer
Highlights
The Force PowerCore™ CPCI-680 CompactPCI® (6U) single board computer brings new levels of flexibility and power to embedded telecommunications, data communications and industrial applications. The first product based on Force’s pioneering Sentinel™ “universal” PCI-toPCI bridge technology, the PowerCore CPCI-680 can function as a high-performance system controller or an intelligent peripheral card, without any need for hardware or software reconfiguration when switching between operating modes. This, combined with its advanced PowerPC™ 750 or PowerPC G4 7400 processor and broad array of interfaces, makes the PowerCore CPCI-680 an ideal choice for configuring fast-to-market, highly reliable multicomputing platforms.

Enabling power of Force’s Sentinel ‘universal’ PPB
The Force PowerCore CPCI-680 is a powerful and versatile CompactPCI single board computer (SBC) based on Force’s revolutionary Sentinel “universal-mode” PCI-to-PCI bridge (PPB). Intelligent Sentinel technology enables the PowerCore CPCI-680 to function as either a system controller (in a CompactPCI system slot) or as an intelligent peripheral card (in a CompactPCI peripheral slot). The Sentinel PPB completely eliminates the need for either hardware or software reconfigurations when the PowerCore CPCI-680 switches operating modes. By using the Sentinel PPB technology, developers can simplify and accelerate the design of multi-processor systems based on cost-effective, industry-standard components.
Broad expansion and I/O flexibility in a single slot
In addition to its versatility and high performance, the PowerCore CPCI-680 provides developers with broad expansion capabilities and a wide range of interface options. Up to two PMC slots are available for expansion, and an optional Fast Wide SCSI-2 interface enables high-speed connection to mass storage. There are also up to three independent Fast Ethernet interfaces and two serial interfaces (expandable to a total of six serial interfaces) for maximum I/O flexibility.
The optional onboard socket for Type II CompactFlash cards allows easy and flexible expansion via removable cards that can be either solid-state flash memory cards or diskbased media. Yet even when fully configured with a complete set of interfaces and its maximum 1GByte memory, the PowerCore CPCI-680 remains a single-slot solution.
