The PowerEngineC7 is the first member of Thales Computers’ new family of rugged 3U CompactPCI embedded computers. Designed to meet the requirements of compact, real-time systems for the most demanding defense, aerospace, industrial, transportation, and communications applications, the PowerEngineC7 is a result of the combined expertise of Thales Computers, provider of high-performance, low-power SBCs such as the flagship 6U VME PowerEngine7, and of Thales Airborne Systems, provider of airborne mission computers.

Product Details
The PowerEngineC7 is designed around the PowerPC 750FX, a dual issue superscalar control processor, operating at 700 MHz. Included is a PMC expansion slot and a dual Ethernet 10/100 port. Flash memory is allocated at 64 MB for the systems and 128 MB for the user.

The 32 KB L1 cache has a 32-byte line, 8-way set associative instruction cache and a 32 KB 32-byte line, 8-way associative data cache. The internal 512 KB L2 cache has ECC clocked at processor frequency.

The board's high-speed 512 or 256 MB DDR SDRAM with ECC operates at 333 MHz. It supports code execution copied from Flash. A predefined area of the memory is protected from the PCI and Ethernet accesses and allows the definition of a dedicated PPC communications area.
