Description:
The MOTOROLA MVME5100 is a high-performance 6U VME64x single-board computer(SBC)based on the PowerPC architecture,designed for demanding embedded applications in industrial automation,defense,telecommunications,and scientific research.Featuring a Freescale(formerly Motorola)MPC750 or MPC7410 RISC processor running up to 450 MHz,the MVME5100 delivers exceptional real-time processing power,large memory capacity,and robust I/O connectivity—all within a rugged,conduction-cooled form factor suitable for harsh environments.
As part of Motorola’s widely deployed MVME family,the MVME5100 supports long-lifecycle deployments and integrates seamlessly with legacy VME ecosystems while offering modern features like PCI bridging,dual Ethernet,and PMC expansion.
Application Scenarios:
At a particle accelerator facility in Switzerland,aging VME systems controlling beam diagnostics were nearing obsolescence,risking experiment downtime.Engineers selected the MOTOROLA MVME5100 as a drop-in replacement due to its backward-compatible VME64x interface,400 MHz MPC7410 CPU,and support for real-time Linux.The upgrade increased data acquisition throughput by 3×without rewiring crates or rewriting application code.Over five years of continuous operation—including during cryogenic maintenance cycles—the MVME5100 maintained 99.999%uptime,proving its reliability in extreme conditions.

Note:The MVME5100 is often used in systems requiring high computational density within VME-based distributed architectures.
Technical Principles and Innovative Values:
Hybrid VME-PCI Architecture:The MVME5100 bridges VME and PCI domains,enabling legacy VME I/O modules to coexist with high-speed PMC accelerators(e.g.,FPGA,DSP,GPU).
Large Memory Support:With up to 1 GB of SDRAM,it handles complex data buffering,image processing,or simulation tasks previously requiring multiple boards.
Long-Term Availability:Designed for 10+year deployments,the MVME5100 remains a go-to solution for life-extension programs in nuclear,rail,and defense sectors.
Deterministic Real-Time Kernel Support:Tight integration with VxWorks and RT-Linux ensures microsecond-level control loop execution—critical for motion,radar,or test systems.
Application Cases and Industry Value:
In a U.S.Navy Aegis combat system upgrade,the MOTOROLA MVME5100 replaced older Intel-based VME boards to process radar track data in real time.Its PowerPC architecture reduced thermal load by 35%compared to x86 alternatives,while dual Ethernet enabled seamless integration with ship-wide Gigabit networks.The platform passed MIL-STD-167 vibration testing and remains in service across 20+guided-missile destroyers.
Another case:a semiconductor lithography tool manufacturer used the MVME5100 to run a real-time wafer alignment algorithm.Leveraging the PMC slot for a custom vision co-processor,the system achieved sub-micron positioning accuracy at 200 wafers/hour—extending the tool’s market life by 7 years.
