C901 | 3U CompactPCI SBC

PowerPC® 7448 Processor

The rugged C901 3U CompactPCI SBC features processing performance of up to 1.4 GHz and broad memory and I/O options. Available in commercial, rugged and military levels of ruggedization, The C901 is powerful, durable and versatile enough to satisfy applications ranging from mission computers and mission control subsystems, to fire-control processing, platform stabilization, remotely piloted vehicles, and more. At the heart of the C901 is the powerful 7448 PowerPC™  processor with on-chip L1 and enhanced L2 caches and AltiVec™ Technology, which provide capacity for enhanced processing power even in I/O intensive applications.

The SBC can be used in CompactPCI subsystems as a system controller or as a CompactPCI peripheral board capable of supporting up to six additional cards on the cPCI backplane, while providing clock, arbitration, and interrupt functions. A fully populated C901 with 512 MB DRAM operates at a typical power consumption of 24.0 watts at 1.4 GHz processor speed.

The C901 is a supported phase product, to be used in active programs only. For new designs, see the C920 or C925 for other 3U CompactPCI SBCs. Learn more about our COTS Lifecycle+® obsolescence management program.
