MEN Mikro Elektronik

The P517 is a high-performance graphics controller suitable for any PMC compliant host carrier board in any type of bus system, i.e. CPCI, VME or on any type of stand-alone SBC. A similar functionality is also available on PC-MIP®, a PCI-based mezzanine card in a smaller form factor. Appropriate PMC and PC-MIP® carrier cards in 3U, 6U and other formats are available from MEN or other manufacturers.

The P517 features the Silicon Motion SM731 3D/2D dual display controller which manages graphics processing. The SM731 supports a 235-MHz, 24-bit RAMDAC at a maximum of 1600 x 1200 pixels resolution and delivers enhanced multi-display capabilities. It can drive two independent digital displays (dual digital), either with identical or with different screen displays. Simultaneously, it can drive LCD, CRT and TV displays (DualMon). The controller also incorporates two 112-MHz max pixel clock LVDS channels that can drive two separate panels or a single high-resolution panel (UXGA).
