6U FPGA-based VMEbus SBC boasts triple redundancy

Ambler, Pa. – MEN Micro Inc. has designed its 6U FPGA-based, triple-redundant A602 64-bit VMEbus single board computer (SBC) with a lock-step architecture that keeps software development at a minimum.

With this redundant lock-step system that increases system reliability, the SEU-resistant A602 runs the same set of operations in parallel to ensure that the programming only views the hardware components once. The A602 is well-suited for mission-critical applications in avionics and railway markets.

Key highlights:

• Triple redundancy on a single board
• 1-slot 64-bit VMEbus master
• 3x redundant PowerPC® 750 CPU, up to 900 MHz
• 3x redundant 512 MB DDR RAM
