D3b (MEN MIKRO)

The D3 is a single-board computer for embedded applications based on the Kahlua II PowerPC. It can be used in a CompactPCI system slot or as a stand-alone card. The D3 comes with the MPC8245 PowerPC with 300MHz clock frequency and a local 32-bit/33-MHz PCI data bus. It is a complete state-of-the-art SBC offering DRAM, Flash and CompactFlash memory, dual Fast Ethernet, 4 COMs, USB, IDE and keyboard/mouse interfaces as well as an optional onboard hard disk. In addition, the D3b CPU board can be equipped with M-Module mezzanine cards. M-Modules are recommended for real-world I/O like analog/binary process I/O and instrumentation I/O. The modular combination of I/O functionality on a single-board computer allows to build up tailored control systems which appear as customized solutions based on standard components. Depending on the kind of I/O requirements, further standard versions of D3 are availabe for other mezzanine standards.
