Description
Product Description
The Motorola MVME2434 is a high-performance embedded single-board computer in the MVME2400 series, designed for industrial computing, real-time control, telecommunications, and data acquisition systems. It uses a 350 MHz PowerPC 750 processor with 256 MB of ECC SDRAM in the standard MVME2434-1 and MVME2434-3 configurations. The board features a 6U VMEbus form factor, onboard cache and Flash memory, Ethernet connectivity, and two PMC expansion sites for application-specific I/O or communication functions. It is suitable for legacy embedded systems that require VMEbus integration and dependable real-time processing.
