The M6511 is a PowerPC based VXS (VITA 41)/VME I/O controller. In addition to its' I/O controller functionality, the M6511 can also perform as an intelligent XMC/PMC carrier, a system controller, high-speed data streaming board, recording engine and FPGA processor board. Focusing on I/O capabilities, the M6511 is optimized for high-speed data buffering and flexible data flow between I/O ports. Curtiss-Wright achieves this through I/O connections on the front panel, dual XMC/PMC (PCI Mezzanine) sites and backplane connectors. Thus, the M6511 constitutes an important element of Curtiss-Wright’s innovative family of products for embedded real-time data acquisition, processing and recording using high-speed serial communications.
