  VME Bus Specification And Architecture The VME bus standards have revolutionized communication in automotive and industrial applications. VME bus supports multiple microcontrollers to communicate without a host computer, enhancing system flexibility. Originally designed for embedded systems, it offers a robust platform for real-time data exchange. The VME bus facilitates robust data exchange by reducing wiring complexity and improving diagnostics. It supports multiple data transfer widths, including 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits, with VME64 extending this to 64 bits. The VME bus also allows for various data transfer cycles. This includes single-cycle, block transfer, and chained block transfer, ensuring efficient communication. Implementing the VME bus standard brings numerous benefits. It enables real-time data transmission which is critical for modern applications. The multi-master architecture allows multiple devices to control the bus to enhance system flexibility. VME bus supports ...

  PowerPC Architecture PowerPC Architecture  are microprocessor for personal computers. PowerPC is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture which are very powerful and low-cost microprocessors. RISC architecture tries to keep the processor as busy as possible.  Design features of PowerPC are as follows:  Broad range implementation Simple processor design Superscalar architecture Multiprocessor features 64-bit architecture Support for operation in both big-endian and little-endian mode. PowerPC can switch from one mode to another at run time. Separate set of Floating Point Registers (FPRs) for floating-point instructions PowerPC machine Architecture:   Memory:   Memory consists of 8-bit bytes. Two consecutive bytes form a halfword, four bytes form a word, eight bytes form a doubleword, sixteen bytes form a quadword. PowerPC programs can be written using a  Virtual Address Space  (2 64  bytes). Address space are divided into fixed...

Difference between AT and ATX Power supply   AT   and   ATX   stand for Advanced Technology power supply and Advanced Technology Extended power supply. Both are types of Switch Mode Power Supply ( SMPS ). Switch mode power supply provides electrical power to an electrical load. SMPS uses a switching regulator for efficient conversion of electrical power. Difference between AT power supply and ATX power supply: S. No. Category At power supply AtX power supply 1. Full Form AT power supply stands for Advanced Technology power supply. ATX power supply stands for Advanced Technology Extended power supply. 2. Motherboard Required It can be supplied to AT motherboard It can be supplied to ATX motherboard 3. Number of power connectors The main power connectors in AT power supply are 2 in number. There is only 1 main power connector in ATX power supply. 4. Number of pins per connector There are 6 pins per connector in AT power supply. There are 20 or 24 pins per connector in ...
