MVME197LE

I. Product Introduction MVME197LE is the main standard model of the MVME197 series. It is a 6U VME single-height SBC of Motorola's second-generation 88K (MC88110), replacing MVME187/188. Its main features are: mature and stable, wide temperature range, full interfaces, the most common spare part for 88K legacy systems, and the main model for industrial, military, and rail transportation applications. 197LE: L = Low-profile (single high), E = Enhanced (enhanced I/O) 197‑001: This is the most common standard configuration model among 197LE Same family: 197LE (standard)/197SP (high performance)/197DP (dual CPU)
