The Emerson Force PowerCore™ CPCI-680 CompactPCI® (6U) single-board computer brings new levels of flexibility and power to embedded telecommunications, data communications and industrial applications.

The first product based on Force's pioneering Sentinel™ universal PCI-to-PCI bridge technology, the PowerCore CPCI-680 functions as both a high-performance system controller and an intelligent peripheral card, without any need for hardware or software reconfiguration when switching from one mode to the other. This, combined with its advanced PowerPC® G4 7400 processor and broad array of interfaces, makes the PowerCore CPCI-680 an ideal choice for constructing fast-to-market high reliability and multicomputing-based platforms.
