3 MIC-3392 Rev.2 User Manual
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.2 Specifications
1.2.1 CompactPCI Bus Interface
The MIC-3392 is compliant with PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0. It supports a 64-bit / 66 MHz
PCI bus for up to 8 compactPCI slots at 3.3 V or 5 V VIO. The MIC-3392 is hot-swap
compliant (PICMG 2.1) and conforms to the CompactPCI Packet Switching Back-
plane specification (PICMG 2.16) as well as the CompactPCI System Management
Specification (PICMG 2.9).
The board can be configured as a system master or a drone board. In drone mode it
only draws power from the CompactPCI backplane and is not active on the Compact-
PCI bus. However, PICMG 2.16 is still fully supported in this mode.
1.2.2 CPU
The MIC-3392 supports the latest Intel Core Duo/Solo and Intel Core 2 Duo proces-
sor family with clock frequencies up to 2.16 GHz and a Front-Side Bus (FSB) up to
667 MHz.
Intel Core Duo processors are validated with the Mobile Intel 945GME Express
chipset. This chipset provides greater flexibility for developers of embedded applica-
tions by offering improved graphics and increased I/O bandwidth over previous Intel
chipsets, as well as remote asset management capabilities, and improved storage
speed and reliability.
Currently supported processors are listed in the table below. The Intel Core Duo con-
sists of two cores and up to 2 MB L2 cache shared by both cores. The Intel Core 2
Duo consists of two cores, up to 4 MB L2 cache shared by both cores.
1.2.3 Processor
1.2.4 BIOS
An 8 Mbit Firmware Hub (FWH) contains a board-specific BIOS that is designed to
meet industrial and embedded system requirements.
1.2.5 Chipset
The Mobile Intel 945GME chipset provides excellent flexibility for developers of
embedded applications by offering improved graphics and increased I/O bandwidth
over previous Intel chipsets, as well as remote asset management capabilities and
