DPD2
The DPD2 is a 320 MB/sec 2eSST VMEbus compatible platform which supports dual Intel® Xeon ULV processors. The DPD2 also supports an optional on-board Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA. The DPD2 takes advantage of the Core-Duo’s low 15 W power consumption as a rugged Single Board Computer (SBC). It is optionally available as an IEEE 1101.2-compliant, conduction-cooled VMEbus module with wedge locks and a full-board heat sink for high shock/vibration environments and temperature extremes.

The E7520 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH) chipset supports PCI-X and PCIe expansion, USB 2.0, Serial ATA (SATA) and GPIO. One of the two Gb Ethernet ports, two USB 2.0 ports are accessible from the front panel in addition to optional front panel VGA and one PMC bezel. On-board connector supports bootable 1.8” SATA drives. Two Gb Ethernet ports are routed to the backplane, with one having alternative routing to front panel. Two SATA ports, VGA video, four COM ports, GPIO, and one more USB 2.0 port are routed to the backplane. One USB 2.0 port supports on-board USB Flash drive. One PMC/XMC site is provided for additional I/O expansion. Conventional PC I/O is accessible with industry-standard connectors on optional rear I/O modules.

Core-Duo Processor
With its two execution cores, the Intel Core Duo processor is optimized for multi-threaded applications and multitasking. You can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications such as graphics-intensive programs or serious number-crunching routines - while downloading files or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. The DPD2 uses a 1.66 GHz BGA processor that runs at only 15 Watts. This low power performance ideally suits it to embedded, industrial applications where high bandwidth processing is required.
Core™2 Duo Mobile Processor L7400
Delivering breakthrough energy efficient performance for embedded platforms. 65 nm process technology makes it possible to integrate two complete execution cores in one physical package, providing advancements in simultaneous computing for multi-threaded applications and multitasking environments. While incorporating advanced processor technology this processor remains software compatible with previous IA-32 processors. Executes four instructions per cycle to improve execution speed and efficiency using 14-stage pipeline. Supports 64-bit instructions, providing flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems.
E7520 Memory Controller Hub
The Intel E7520 chipset acts as the central hub for all data passing between the core system elements including processor, memory, PCI Express I/O, and legacy I/O subsystems. The Intel® E7520 chipset enables a variety of high-performance, low-power designs with improved platform reliability and system manageability. This chipset utilizes revolutionary PCI Express1 serial I/O technology and next-generation DDR2 memory technology to help increase I/O bandwidth and reduce system latency for data-intensive applications. The 533 MHz bus allows this chipset to support Intel® Core-Duo processors.
6300ESB I/O Controller Hub
The Intel® 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH) supports legacy and more cutting edge I/O. It is designed for use with the Intel® E7520 Memory Controller Hub (MCH). Intel has integrated features into the 6300ESB ICH that offer the performance, stability and reliability customers require for embedded computing applications. It improves bandwidth via PCI-X 64/66 and PCI 32/33 support. It also provides port 60/64 emulation, dual UARTs, four USB 2.0 ports, two SATA ports, primary and secondary IDE, and a two-stage watchdog timer. The Intel 6300ESB ICH and associated drivers help reduce support and validation costs.
DRAM
The DPD2 supports 2 or 4 GBytes of DRAM and its DDR2-400 memory technology is ideal for memory-intensive applications, providing up to 20 percent increase in memory bandwidth, and up to 40 percent decrease in power consumption over DDR 266 memory. The memory subsystem interface to E7520 is dual channel, supporting two registered DIMMs per channel—depending on memory technology—for a total system bandwidth of up to 6.4 GB/second. ECC error correction is supported.
Four Gb Ethernet Ports
Two are accessible from the front panel while the other two are routed to the P0 connector in compliance with Vita 31.1. The DPD2 gets its four Ethernet ports from two Intel® 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controllers. The 82571EB provides two fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) ports. This device uses the PCI Express architecture (Rev. 1.0a) as a host interface. The Intel 82571EB supports Ethernet interfaces for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T applications. In addition to managing MAC and PHY Ethernet layer functions, the controller manages PCI Express packet traffic across its transaction, link, and physical/logical layers.
