Features and Benefits

The DSP-5430 Mark II is the newest addition to the DSP Technologies family of industrial controllers and DSP products and is based on the Power PC architecture.  The 132 MIPS Power PC processor supports SCSI-2 connectivity and provides a complete communication link with the use of the embedded Linux operating system.

Using the Power PC processor, the DSP-5430 Mark II maximizes system I/O performance by utilizing the system bus to process data at transfer rates which are consistent with host system requirements.  This technology is an economical solution for legacy systems in meeting the demands of modern high-performance computing by allowing these legacy host devices to connect and benefit from the reliability, speed and storage capacities of modern SCSI-2 storage devices.

SCSI support for increased performance

The DSP-5430 Mark II provides connectivity to 8-bit SCSI devices. This connectivity allows I/O performance by using the SCSI-2 bus band-width of 10 Mbytes per second using synchronous SCSI.

Simple installation and easy, flexible configuration

The DSP-5430 Mark II is easily installed and configured. Simply install the board, then run the menu-driven SCSI select configuration utilities resident on the host adapter. These utilities eliminate the need to handle jumpers, making host adapter installation quick and easy.  In addition, the programmable active termination featured in the DSP-5430 Mark II family and controlled by the SCSI utilities make installation of external SCSI peripherals fast and simple.

Proven  quality and reliability

The DSP-5430 Mark II is based on state-of-the-art VLSI technology and provides maximum performance and reliability. To ensure compatibility with various non standard legacy systems, the DSP-5430 Mark II has undergone exhaustive compatibility testing.  In addition, each board is subjected to extensive functional and mechanical inspections and tests to ensure the highest quality and reliability.

The Power PC with Linux

DSP Technologies industrial controllers based on the Power PC with Linux combine hardware and software technology into I/O solutions which ensure the level of performance required for today's storage and high speed video applications. These products speed the flow of data from one part of the system to another, significantly improving overall performance.
