VPX4840 Series: 6U VPX Carrier Cards for XMC Modules Description
The VPX4840 carrier cards provide a simple and cost-effective solution for interfacing an XMC module to a VPX computer system. They offer host processors low latency access to the XMC modules through high-speed interconnects on the carrier card.
The XMC sites enable rapid data throughput with their use of a 16-lane PCIe Gen 3 interface. These sites support front or rear panel I/O. Two versions offer a choice of direct PCIe connection to the VPX backplane via the data or expansion plane.
By inserting XMC modules providing advanced signal processing, communication, GPU/FPGA computing and other capabilities, developers can leverage hundreds of available functions currently unavailable in a VPX platform. The carrier cards also support the use of a prXMC processor module.
These carriers are ideal for high-performance aerospace, defense, scientific research, and industrial systems requiring high-speed I/O expansion. The VPX4840 is available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions.
Software support packages facilitate use with Microsoft Windows®, Linux®, and VxWorks™ operating systems.
