SPARC CPCI-550 1024-500-L256-8

Force Computers (Emerson) UltraSPARC-IIi CompactPCI Single Board Computer

Product Overview

SPARC CPCI-550 1024-500-L256-8 is a 6U CompactPCI single-board computer (SBC) built on the UltraSPARC-IIi 64-bit RISC architecture.
This universal-mode SBC supports operation as either a system slot host CPU or peripheral slot board via Force proprietary Sentinel PPB bridge technology, without hardware modification. Designed for high-availability embedded systems, it runs Solaris operating system and complies with PICMG CompactPCI standards. Widely used in industrial automation, telecom infrastructure, defense & aerospace and legacy high-reliability control platforms.

The part number SPARC CPCI-550 1024-500-L256-8 specifies a high-performance CompactPCI (cPCI) Single Board Computer (SBC) originally designed by Force Computers (later part of Emerson / Motorola Solutions).

CPCI-550

Product Overview

The CPCI-550 is a “universal-mode” single board computer, meaning it can function as either a system master slot controller or a peripheral module within a CompactPCI chassis backplane. Built around the robust UltraSPARC-IIi processor architecture, it is engineered for mission-critical telecommunications, industrial automation, and defense applications requiring high reliability and UNIX-based environment compatibility.

Key Features:

  • Universal Slot Capability: Utilizes proprietary PCI-to-PCI bridge architecture to allow flexible placement across standard cPCI backplanes.

  • Telecommunication Grade: Well-suited for 3G wireless infrastructure, VoIP platforms, and high-availability switch-fabric applications.

  • Rugged Embedded Design: Built to withstand demanding thermal and physical operational parameters typical of industrial control rooms and modular telecom racks.
