The Adlink cPCI-6770/P7 is a 6U CompactPCI CPU module purpose-built for industrial embedded systems requiring compact processor integration without external I/O transition boards. It combines an Intel Low Power BGA2 Pentium III processor with integrated front-panel I/O, onboard storage interfaces, and comprehensive system monitoring in a single-slot (4HP) form factor.

• Vibration (non-operation): 1.88 Grms, 5–500 Hz
– Key Features
• Integrated front-panel I/O eliminates external transition modules
• PCI bridges support up to seven peripherals in a single system
• Dual-channel UDMA-33 IDE supports both hard drives and CompactFlash expansion
• CompactPCI hot-swap capable with power ramp compliance
• Comprehensive on-board temperature and voltage monitoring
• Battery-backed real-time clock for mission-critical timekeeping
– Typical Applications
Industrial control systems, field-deployed embedded platforms, compact data acquisition, and distributed processing where single-slot processor integration is required.
– Compatibility & Integration
The PMC slot enables functional expansion through compatible mezzanine modules. Standard CompactPCI backplane integration supports up to seven additional peripherals. IDE and CompactFlash interfaces provide flexible mass storage options without dedicated controller modules.
