CENTEK - MAY 1997
*****************************
* PHENIX 040ij / PHENIX 060ij *
*****************************
>>> PRELIMINARY FEATURES V0.9.1 <<<
- MOTOROLA MC68040ij at 33/66 MHz.
(Upgradable to the MC68060ij at 60/120 MHz).
- BUS: 32-Bit DATA / 32-Bit ADDRESS / 33 MHz Frequency.
- 128 KB of R-Memoryij to boost the softwares.
This memory area allows 2.1.1.1 CPU BURST (105 MB/s
at 33 MHz). The R-Memoryij is a CENTEK NEW concept and is
confidential at this time. Only Registered Developers
will be aware of it !
- Four DIMM sockets: 64-Bit interleaved RAM up to 256 MB.
- MOTOROLA DSP 56301ij at 66 MHz
- 24-Bit HOST port with 2 clocks cycles:
50 MB/s DMA transfert (or 16 MWords (DSP 24-Bit words).
- On-Chip Memories: - 2048 * 24-Bit X Data RAM.
- 2048 * 24-Bit Y Data RAM.
- 3072 * 24-Bit Program RAM.
- 1024 * 24-Bit Instruction Cache.
- 192 * 24-Bit Bootstrap ROM.
- Off-Chip Memories: 128 KB * 24-Bit 15nS SRAM (or 128 KWords).
- SIMM socket to add 4 MB DRAM (option for particular softwares).
- Enhanced external Falcon DSP connector.
- MOTOROLA MC68360 - QUICCij at 33 MHz.
(QUICCij: QUad Integrated Communications Controller).
- 4.5 MIPS at 25 MHz (CPU 32).
- 32-Bit DATA and ADDRESS lines.
- Four General-Purpose 16-Bit Timers.
- Two Independent DMA (IDMA) with Single Address Mode
(up to 66 MB/S at 33 MHz per DMA).
- Communications RISC Processor (22 MIPS).
- Four SCC
- Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Optional on SCC1 (Full 10-Mbps Support)
A motherboard slot is dedicated for this option.
- HDLC/SDLC (All Four Channels Supported at 2 Mbps)
- Apple Talkij
- Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)
- Synchronous UART
- Two SMC (Serial Manager Controllers)
- One SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
- Parallel Interface Port (Full CENTRONICSij compliant !)
- 64 KB FLASH Eprom containing the BIOS (SET UP/AUTOTEST/BOOT).
The FLASH enables the software updates.
- ULTRA SCSI bus (SCSI Controller with 16-Bit DMA).
- The SCSI bus maximum rate is 20 MB/s.
- The HOST DMA maximum rate is 33 MB/s.
- VIDEO: This technical point is not fixed. Three possibilities
are actually discussed:
- MATROX MYSTIQUEij (up to 1280 * 1024 * 24-Bit).
- MATROX MGAij chip on a CENTEK video card...
- TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 3D video Processor
on a CENTEK video card...
- SOUND: The customer can choose a card between:
- Stereo INPUT/OUTPUT 16-Bit CODEC
with two MIDI INPUTS/OUTPUT (& thru) channels.
PC like connector (D-SUB 15).
* Another card may be added to get two STEREO
INPUTs/OUTPUTs and four MIDI sets.
- Professional 24-Bit External Card including
8 INPUTs / 16 OUTPUTs, four MIDI IN / four MIDI OUT
(& thru), SPDIFij/AESij/EBUij Interface.
* Another card may be added to get 16 INPUTS and
32 OUTPUTS (24-Bit).
- VOCAL: Interactive Neuronal Speech Controller for the
Speech Recognition, Speech & Music Synthesis,
Access Control, and Software ONLINE HELP !
- TIME: NVRAM (Non Volatile Ram)
with RESUME mode to Wake up the PHENIXij.
- SLOTS: Three DIRECT 040/060 Processor Slots for Hardware
Expansions such as:
- Video acquisition.
- Second DSP 56301 card.
- VMEij bus.
- PCIij bus.
- Memory adding card (up to 256 other MB).
- KEYBOARD/MOUSE: This point is not fixed. Two possibilities are actually
discussed:
- 105 Keys PC Keyboard / Logitechij 9600 - 3 buttons.
- ADBij Keyboard, mouse and joystick.
(ADB= Appleij Desktop Bus).
- CASE: Standard BLACK Mini Tower.
This point may vary: we ordered a study of a new
plastic/metal desktop case...
If wished, the Mother Board will be alone available !!!
- OPERATING SYSTEM: DOLMENij - 100 % ASM !
MARKET INFORMATIONS:
-> The 040 complete BASIC configuration includes:
- 16 MB DIMM (64 Bits).
- One 16-Bit Audio card.
- 1.2 Go ULTRA SCSI Hard Drive.
- 12x SCSI CD-ROM Drive.
No monitor included.
-> The price: 1.400 < < 1.800 U$ Dollars.
-> Very low prices for the Hardware and Software Developers !!
-> CD-ROM (AND PAPER) complete Documentation (Software and Hardware
(slots and DSP connector) and SYSTEM HOTLINE (Phone/E-mail/BBS)
for the developers !
