1Overview
1.1 Introduction
The cPCI-3915 is a 3U CompactPCI single board computer that
comes in two compact PCI form factors: single-slot cPCI-3915A
and dual-slot cPCI-3915B. Featuring support for single Intel® Cel-
eron® M processor with 1 MB L2 cache or Intel® Pentium® M pro-
cessor with 2 MB L2 cache in µFC-PGA package, the cPCI-3915
incorporates the Intel® 915GM chipset with 400/533 MHz FSB,
integrated graphics, and up to 1 GB, 64-bit wide system memory
using a non-ECC DDR2 SODIMM.
Providing extensive support for I/O interfaces, the Intel® ICH6-M
Southbridge backs up two Marvell® 88E8052 gigabit Ethernet
controllers and three USB 2.0 ports. The optional cPCI-R3915 rear
transition module supports additional I/O connectors including a
single-channel SATA port, DVI port, LVDS port, and UART com-
patible RS-232 serial port capable of supporting RS-232, RS-422,
RS-485, or RS-485+ devices via a jumper setting.
The high-performance computing and communications capability
of the cPCI-3915 is a best solution for telecom, data center, and
Internet applications.
1.2 Features
XLow power consumption, high-performance Intel® Cele-
ron®/Intel® Pentium® M processor with up to 2.0 GHz core
speed and 1 MB/2 MB L2 cache
XUp to 1 GB system memory via a single slot for DDR2 400/
533 MHz SODIMM
XDual gigabit Ethernet ports utilizing the PCI Express® bus
architecture
XMultiple storage interface including Serial ATA, IDE, and
CompactFlash
XHigh-resolution, dual-channel or multiple display support for
CRT monitors (up to 2048 x 1536 resolution), DVI-enabled
displays (up to 165 MB/s), and LVDS terminals (1 x 18 bpp)
XUp to three USB 2.0 port (2 on front and 1 on rear panel)
