PPC8A is the latest technology-insert step on the PowerXpress™ roadmap. Technology insertion underpins GE Intelligent Solutions' product strategy, allowing enhanced performance and functionality from successive boards in each product family, yet all delivered with the same hardware and software interface definitions.

For example, the PPC8A's pin-out is fully compatible with that of its PowerXpress predecessors (the PPC6 and PPC1A). And the same Board Support Package (BSP) and deployed test software, runs on all 3 boards. This unique commitment to compatibility makes GE Intelligent Solutions the supplier of choice to system integrators in defense markets worldwide.

Cost-effective PowerXpress boards target 'sheltered' applications, where expensive 'full ruggedization' is not required (e.g. naval, ground mobile).

Enhanced features, built above proven core technology, offer the widest design options to new programs and to existing PowerXpress users needing a seamless upgrade. The latest G4+ PowerPC® silicon, extra serial ports, Gigabit Ethernet, USB and graphics, are all additional to the PPC6 profile.
