Motorola Announces its Fastest Processor PMC Module

Motorola, Inc. today announced availability of the PrPMC6001, the company's fastest Processor PMC module. The PrPMC6001 is designed to enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to boost their platform compute and I/O performance while maintaining excellent power and thermal characteristics.

The power and versatility of Motorola's PrPMC6001 may enable engineers that are designing leading-edge pervasive computing and embedded network control and signal processing applications, such as flight computers, software defined radio, and command, control and communications systems, to quickly and easily add processing power.

Featuring a Freescale MPC7448 PowerPC® G4 architecture processor running at speeds of up to 1.4 GHz, the PrPMC6001 uses an integrated system controller to give the processor high-speed access to up to one GB of external memory with Motorola support and up to 256MB of flash memory. The PrPMC6001 features dual independent Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, one of which has optional SerDes support, routed to the PMC connector. It supports both real-time and Linux operating systems for enhanced customer flexibility.

This latest module extends Motorola's embedded communications computing product portfolio, which ranges from individual blade and module building blocks through fully integrated and validated communications servers. Motorola gives customers the flexibility to integrate its products at the appropriate level for their solution.
