CM-MEM-40
The CM-MEM-40 is a 32 bit general purpose VMEbus Memory Expansion Board that incorporates features demanded in military & industrial applications.
Maximum on-board capacity is 32 MB, distributed in 16 banks, each one populated with four 32 pin JEDEC devices of 512KB of capacity.
Memory chips of SRAM, EPROM or FLASH may be installed in a flexible way, supporting all standard JEDEC chips.
VMEbus MEM
The metallic layer within the PCB benefits heat dissipation & uniform component temperatures, thus increasing component longevity & module MTBF.
Jumpers allow mapping the board in any of the 128 memory blocks, 32 MB size, available in the Extended A32/D32 addressing range. On-board programming is carried out with +5VDC only.
Military versions with thermal overlay greatly improve capability to withstand shock & vibration.
Memory Expansion
The CM-MEM-40 32 MB SRAM version (CM-MEM-40/S) incorporates a watch-dog & stand-by rechargeable battery, allowing for use as a solid state hard disk (RAM disk).
All versions are compatible at the function level, Industrial versions allow low cost software development.

CM-MEM-40 Specifications
- Capacity: Up to 32 MB in steps of 2MB. The board incorporates 16 independent memory banks of 2MB & 32 bit wide. A bank is composed by 4 JEDEC chips of 512 KB capacity.
- SRAM Memory: The CM-MEM-40/S allows up to 32MB of SRAM. Accepted chips are rated from 35 to 12 ns of access time. The total amount of SRAM can operate in "stand-by".
- Flash Memory: Up to 32 MB. The board supports new generation Am-29F040 devices requiring only +5V for its on-board erase or programming.
- EPROM Memory: Up to 32 MB. To allow external programming the board offers 64 sockets for 27C4000 devices.
- VME Decoder: Allows to map the board in the VME range in a flexible manner. There are 128 positions, 32 MB size each.
- VME Access Time: The board responds to VMEbus data transfers in 100 ns (0 wait state).
- Wait-state Generator: Equates the VMEbus access time versus the speed of installed devices. A jumper allows 0, 1, 2 or 3 wait states for chips from 35 to 120 ns.
- Back-up Battery: A Ni/Cd rechargeable battery (100mA/h) supplies the stand-by voltage.
- Watch-dog: A MAX-690 monitors the +5VDC and administrates the back-up battery.
- VMEbus Interface: According the IEEE 1014 rev. C. The board responds to VMEbus Extended transfers type A32/D32/D16/D8(EO).
