1. General Description

The MVME147‑014A is a high‑performance 6U VME64 single‑board computer, pin‑to‑pin compatible with the entire MVME147 series. It is the Rev A hardware revision of MVME147‑014, with identical functionality, pinout, and electrical specifications. The board is based on the Motorola MC68030 32‑bit processor with integrated MMU and 256‑byte cache, plus an MC68882 floating‑point coprocessor, both running at 25 MHz. It features 32 MB DRAM with programmable parity, AUI Ethernet, SCSI, four serial ports, a parallel port, and battery‑backed SRAM/RTC. Designed for reliable real‑time embedded control requiring maximum memory and fault‑detection capability.
