Delphi Engineering MRC3000 Processor Board MRC3000-330B MRC3000-34B SVME-414

Delphi Engineering MRC3000 Processor Board MRC3000-330B MRC3000-34B SVME-414

This is a Delphi Engineering MRC3000 processor/DSP board pulled from a Curtiss-Wright SVME-414 VME system. The board carries two assembly numbers: MRC3000-330B and MRC3000-34B (Rev B). It features an active copper heatsink with a cooling fan, an Atmel FPGA (TSE380BCF visible on board), VME and PMC edge connectors, and four front-edge SMA RF connectors — a configuration typical of high-speed signal processing and data acquisition modules used in defense and aerospace VME chassis.

Applications

The Curtiss-Wright SVME-414 is a VMEbus single-board computer platform used in defense, aerospace, and ruggedized embedded computing applications — systems such as radar signal processing, electronic warfare, sonar, and airborne or ground-based military computing. VME (Versa Module Europa) was the dominant open bus standard in defense electronics from the 1980s through the 2000s, valued for its reliability, modularity, and support for real-time processing. PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) modules like the MRC3000 plug into carrier boards and extend processing, I/O, or signal-acquisition capability within a VME chassis. The SMA connectors on this board suggest an RF signal acquisition or distribution role — consistent with sensor, communications, or data-link applications common in aerospace platforms. This type of surplus VME/PMC module is sought by defense maintenance depots, systems integrators maintaining legacy VME-based platforms, and universities or research labs running Curtiss-Wright or similar VME chassis.
