The part number 0190-11529 is specifically identified as a PC Board or Single Board Computer (SBC) used in Applied Materials (AMAT) semiconductor manufacturing equipment. It is commonly described as a "CARD PIII 400MHZ 128MB RAM VME BUS SINGL", indicating its core specifications.

Product Description

The 0190-11529 is a specialized VMEbus-compatible single board computer, often manufactured by Radisys as an OEM for Applied Materials. This board functions as a self-contained computer, featuring an Intel Pentium III (PIII) processor clocked at 400MHz and equipped with 128MB of RAM.

The integration into a VMEbus system signifies its role in high-performance, real-time control applications within complex industrial machinery. This robust and modular design was prevalent in industrial and scientific systems. The board provides the necessary computing power and control logic to operate critical subsystems within Applied Materials' sophisticated semiconductor fabrication tools. It's responsible for executing control algorithms, processing sensor data, and managing communication, all crucial for the precise and repeatable processes required in chip manufacturing.

Given its Pentium III processor, this component is typically found in older generations of AMAT equipment, supporting their long operational lifecycles.
