MAT 900 - Dual/Single Pentium® III processors (up to 600MHz) on the MAT 900 SBC

Combining high performance SCSI, Ethernet and AGP video with one or two Intel® Pentium III processors, now supported at up to 600MHz, the MAT 900 PICMG™ single board computer offers the highest performance and integration available in twin Pentium III processor single board solutions.This is achieved on a board which fits into a single slot in a PICMG backplane.

The unique arrangement of Pentium III processors sharing a common sink-tunnel creates a rigid box structure for secure retention of the processor assembly. This design also allows fitting of the DIMM memories above the processors, so OEMs can fit half-length cards in the slot next to the processor card in the PICMG backplane.

The AGP video is based on the 3Dlabs® Permedia® 2 chipset and supports 4 or 8 megabytes of high performance SGRAM video memory. The PCI Ultra Wide SCSI-3, another built-in option, supports transfers at up to 40Mbytes per second, particularly useful in heavily loaded systems or applications like image processing. The 10/100Mbit Ethernet is autoswitching, allowing access to latest high performance networks.

Support of the Slot 1 thermal management options in the Pentium III processor allows OEM control of over-temperature situations. This is done by throttling the processor speed, thus reducing power consumption and heat emitted.

The standard interfaces, such as two USB ports, IrDA, 2 serial (RS232 or RS485), 1 parallel, floppy, Ultra33 DMA IDE, keyboard and mouse, are also included.

Based on the Intel BX AGPset, the card supports the 100MHz FSB (front side bus) and high performance PC100 SDRAM. It overcomes power supply limitations by making full use of 5V and 3.3V connections from the backplane.
