The MM-6490DR is a high-speed, dual-port buffer memory board for VME/VME64/RACEway systems requiring real-time data acquisition and processing. Available in 128 MB to 2 GB configurations, it delivers burst-mode transfer rates exceeding 160 MB/s on RACEway and sustained 80 MB/s block transfers on VMEbus. Dual independent memory ports switch-selectable on 1 MB boundaries enable flexible system integration. Byte-wise parity generation and checking with BERR status reporting protect data integrity across transfers. The board supports 8/16/32/64-bit data paths and sequential block transfer modes (256/2 KB, MBLT 2 KB, RACEway 2 KB). All units undergo 48-hour burn-in and memory diagnostics with temperature cycling from 0–60°C to verify operational reliability.
