Othello is a line of VME carrier boards that include two high speed mezzanine sites, large on-board buffer memory, and optional connectivity to switch fabric backplanes.

Based on Micro Memory’s CoSine System-on-Chip, the MM-15x0 and MM-16x0 also support FPGA processing for application specific state machines in its custom User Programmable Logic (UPL) block.

Othello architectures are optimized for rate buffering data between the mezzanine sites (PMC or XMC) and switch fabric backplane.  Each mezzanine can operate simultaneously, supporting aggregate sustained transfer rates of up to 4,000 MB/s to up to 8GB of on-board memory.

In addition to having independent Serial RapidIO, RACE++, or Aurora ports on the backplane, full connectivity is provided between all on-board devices including the two mezzanine sites, switch fabric backplane interfaces, SDRAM memory, and VME interfaces.

Any generally available PMC or XMC can be integrated into the base carrier.  Pre-configured options include versions with quad Serial FPDP, quad fibre channel and multi-channel A/D converters.
