PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) IEEE1386.1 Compliant

The MIC-3358 support one PMC site and compliant with PICMG 2.3 (PCI Mezzanine Card) specification. This 32-bit/33MHz PMC interface provides front access capability by PMC modules for various function demanding.

Complete I/O Functions

The MIC-3358 offers all the I/O functions of an industrial computer with the rugged Eurocard form factor. The rest of I/O have fully connected to the rear I/O module via user-define connector (J3 and J5) on the back- plane. These I/O contain one Gigabit Ethernet port, one RJ-45 COM port, two USB 2.0 ports, one VGA connector, and one PMC site. The front panel also has a reset button and LEDs for hot swap indication, power sta- tus, HDD operation and Ethernet communication. The built-in high speed IDE controller provides two separate IDE channels with Ultra DMA/33/ 66/100 mode. The user-defined J3 connector is designed to support two IDE devices, one floppy drives, one printer device, LAN 1/2 for PCIMG

2.16.These drives can simply be connected to the backplane or to the rear transition board for easy service and maintenance.

Meets Switch Fabric, Mission Critical and Computing Intensive Application requirements

Supporting the PICMG 2.16 specification, the MIC-3358 delivers a cost performance platform for those applications that demand for low power and high performance. It is an ideal platform for emerging application such as switch-fabric blade server, mission critical and computing inten- sive applications like third-generation (3G) wireless, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), networking, image processing and the converged data and voice communication applications.

The two-layer front panel design complies with IEEE 1101.10. Connec- tors are firmly screwed to the front panel, and the replaceable shielding gasket is attached to the panel edge. This reduces emissions and gives better protection against external interference. A watchdog timer can automatically reset the system if the system stops abnormally.
