MOTOROLA MVME2434
Applicable System
This module is a dedicated single board computer module for MOTOROLA MVME2434 Series, a core component for high-performance industrial embedded systems. Honestly, it’s a step up from the MVME2400-0361 we talked about earlier—more powerful in computing, designed for I/O-intensive and calculation-heavy industrial scenarios, not just stable basic operation.It’s mainly applied in industrial control, aerospace, military equipment and embedded systems fields, serving as the core computing unit for high-speed data processing equipment, complex DCS control systems and high-reliability electronic devices. It works seamlessly with VMEbus infrastructure (compatible with VME64 standard), and can run on VxWorks, Linux and LynxOS operating systems, adapting to harsh industrial and special industry scenarios that demand high processing capability.Compared to the MVME2400-0361 (from the MVME2400 series), this module is more focused on high computing performance and I/O processing capability. Unlike the MVME2400-0361 which prioritizes stability and expansion, the MVME2434 has a much higher processor frequency and richer built-in controllers, making it suitable for more complex, calculation-heavy industrial tasks.
Q: What specific systems can it be used with?
A: It’s fully compatible with VMEbus systems (VME64 standard), MOTOROLA MVME series modules, and various high-performance industrial control systems, ideal for scenarios that need high-speed computing and I/O-intensive processing, such as aerospace auxiliary control and complex industrial data acquisition.
Main Functions
To be honest, this module’s core job is to provide high-speed, stable embedded computing for complex industrial tasks—it’s faster than the MVME2400-0361, with richer built-in functions, acting as a “high-performance brain” for I/O-intensive and calculation-heavy embedded systems.
- High-speed computing performance: Equipped with 1.26GHz Intel Pentium III processor, with 512KB on-board high-speed cache, which can improve processor efficiency by 20% to 40%, supporting high-speed data processing and complex control tasks effortlessly.
- Memory and storage: Equipped with up to 512MB PC133 SDRAM (expandable to 1.5GB DDR SDRAM), ensuring smooth operation of large-scale programs and high-speed data reading and writing.
- Built-in display and expansion: Integrated AGP SVGA controller for direct display output, and supports 66MHz PMC expansion slot, meeting diverse expansion needs of industrial scenarios.
- Communication capability: Provides dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and multiple serial communication ports, supporting high-bandwidth data transmission and seamless connection with various peripheral devices.
- Reliable control and management: Integrates a complete memory management unit (MMU), providing software protection and virtual memory functions, and supports programmable protection to adapt to different application needs.
There’s one point to note: Compared to the MVME2400-0361, this module has a much higher processor frequency (1.26GHz vs. 266MHz) and adds an AGP SVGA controller, but it has fewer PMC expansion slots (1 vs. 2 for the latter). It’s more about computing performance than expansion flexibility.

Detailed Technical Specifications
Let’s get down to the specific specs—no fancy jargon, just practical details that matter for on-site use. I’ll list them clearly, and also add a simple comparison with the similar MVME2400-0361 for you to distinguish at a glance:
- Processor: Intel Pentium III 32-bit microprocessor, 1.26GHz operating frequency (vs. 266MHz PowerPC 750 for MVME2400-0361), focusing on high-speed computing performance
- Cache: 512KB on-board high-speed cache (vs. 32KB/32KB L1 + 1MB L2 cache for MVME2400-0361), effectively improving processor efficiency
- Memory: 512MB PC133 SDRAM (expandable to 1.5GB DDR SDRAM) (vs. up to 512MB ECC SDRAM for MVME2400-0361), with larger expandable capacity and faster speed
- Built-in Controller: Integrated AGP SVGA controller (MVME2400-0361 has no built-in display controller), supporting direct display output
- Bus Interface: VME Bus (VME64 standard) (same bus type as MVME2400-0361), ensuring compatibility with VMEbus infrastructure
- Communication Interface: Dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, multiple serial communication ports (vs. 10/100Mb/s Ethernet + 1 serial port for MVME2400-0361), with higher bandwidth
- Expansion Support: 1 66MHz PMC expansion slot (vs. 2 32/64-bit PMC slots + 64-bit PCI expansion mezzanine for MVME2400-0361), expansion flexibility is slightly weaker
- Memory Management: Equipped with complete memory management unit (MMU), supporting software protection and virtual memory functions (MVME2400-0361 has basic memory management, no virtual memory support)
- Power Supply: +5VDC, +3.3VDC, power consumption up to 38W (higher than 30W of MVME2400-0361), due to higher performance
- Operating Temperature: -40℃ ~ 70℃ (same as MVME2400-0361), resistant to extreme cold and heat, suitable for harsh industrial sites
- Storage Temperature: -40℃ ~ 85℃ (same as MVME2400-0361), suitable for long-term storage in different environments
- Humidity Range: 5% ~ 95% (non-condensing), adapting to humid industrial working conditions (same as MVME2400-0361)
- Environmental Resistance: Anti-shock and anti-vibration, meeting industrial harsh environment operation requirements (same as MVME2400-0361), and more suitable for aerospace and military scenarios
