ESCRIPTION
The Compact CHAMP-AV IV is a cPCI variant of our fourth generation VME-based quad
PowerPC™ AltiVec DSP board. The Compact CHAMP-AV IV introduces an architecture based
on the latest PowerPC™ and PCI-X bridge devices, to provide a very high bandwidth platform
that maximizes the processing potential of four Freescale PowerPC™ MPC7448 or 7447A
processors. The Compact CHAMP-AV IV also has a powerful fifth processor, the Freescale
MPC8540 PowerQUICC III.
The Compact CHAMP-AV IV is particularly well suited to large, multi-slot systems. This is by
virtue of its four 800 MB/sec (peak) PCI buses and its five Gigabit Ethernet connections (one
per processor), which together provide very high I/O throughput and switching bandwidth.
This together with its four altivec-enabled 7447A processors and fifth PowerPC processor
allow the computing power and data movement to be well matched. The Compact CHAMP-
AV IV has a rich set of features designed to accelerate multi-processing application
performance and speed the software development process. A diverse offering of peripherals
enable the Compact CHAMP-AV IV to be readily integrated into many types of systems such
as benign military, signal intelligence, command, control and communications, as well as
telecommunications systems.
The architecture of the Compact CHAMP-AV IV is illustrated in Figure 1.1 on page 1-3.
