Powerful board offer better reliability and computing performance

The A25 from MEN is a powerful multicore VMEbus board, based on Intel's Xeon D-1500 server CPU. The board is available in versions with four, eight and 16 cores and thus provides a concentrated computing power. The 32GB DDR4 memory and the scalability of the offered standard models make the board a reliable partner. The VMEbus interface is implemented as an FPGA-based open-source solution. This makes them future-proof and cost-effective with extensive functionality. The interfaces are also extremely versatile. With two USB, three Gigabit Ethernet and two RS232 ports at the front, the board provides the essentials for application in the industrial sector. In addition, the device can be equipped with an XMC/PMC mezzanine card and a PCI Express Mini Card, providing additional front I/O for functions such as graphics, mass storage, or further Ethernet. This modularity allows the configuration of customized systems from open standard components, thus reducing integration time and costs. The A25 supports the application in the temperature range from -40C to + 60C. In addition, all components were prepared for coating and soldered – the requirement for reliable operation and a long product life. In addition, Intel guarantees a long-term availability of the CPU of seven years.
