The Emerson / Motorola MVME172P2 Series VME Embedded Controller with 2 IP Slots allows VME embedded controller users to achieve the price-performance value of RISC architectures while maintaining MC68060 object code compatibility. By combining the MC68060 superscalar performance with a wide range of optional features and the IndustryPack interface, OEMs can select the exact product for their application rather than paying for unwanted features.

The inclusion of the new “Petra” application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which replaces functions formerly implemented in the IP2 chip, MC2 chip, and MCECC chip, improves the performance of the memory subsystem. Memory configuration switches enable the user to tailor memory size for applications requiring smaller memory configurations.
