IDT7M9519

The C3 family are CPU mezzanine daughtercards based on IDT's MIPS processors. The C3 Card family IDT7M9519 is designed to replace the CPU and specific support circuitry around the CPU in a system design. The goal of the C3 is to provide the system designer a seamless hardware migration path through IDT's family IDT7M9519 of 64-bit MIPS processors(R4650, R4700, R64475, R5000, R64575), and to simplify the overall system implementation requirements of those processors.

Each of the above processors of IDT7M9519 has a unique pin configuration/package; therefore, a system designer would normally be required to implement a unique board design for each of the processors. The goal of the C3 is to eliminate the differences between these processors of IDT7M9519 at the system interface level, and to allow the system designer to implement a single baseboard design which will support C3 cards featuring the R4650, R4700, R64475, R5000, R64575 or future processors.
