General Information
Model 743 and Model 744 VME Board Computers
VME Controller ASIC
A VME controller ASIC, with the VME backplane it plugs into, manages the board com-
puter’s interface to the VMEbus. The VME controller ASIC also controls the RS-232 B port
interface.
Table 1-19 shows the VME addressing capabilities and Table 1-20 shows data transfer capa-
bilities of the VME controller ASIC.
