Acromag VPX4812 and VPX4814 OpenVPX carrier cards

Click2Contact

Acromag offers rugged OpenVPX carrier cards to deliver high-speed performance for data-intensive, high-bandwidth applications.

Available in 3U or 6U formats, the mezzanine carrier cards provide a simple solution for interfacing a PMC or XMC module to a VPX computer system. By inserting PMC or XMC industrial I/O and configurable FPGA modules on the carrier, developers can leverage hundreds of available function modules currently unavailable in a VPX platform.

The carrier card routes power and bus signals to a plug-in mezzanine module through the VPX card slot connector. Industrial I/O and configurable FPGA modules for other vendors are also supported.

The VPX4812 can be used as a VPX switch card, allowing a host CPU to communicate with up to three downstream cards in addition to the XMC card. Each VPX port can be configured to be x4 or x8.

The VPX4814 is a peripheral XMC carrier board designed to be used in a system that uses a VPX AcroExpress CPU.

The carriers are suitable for high-performance industrial, defence, scientific research and telephony systems requiring high-speed I/O expansion. They are available in three versions: air-cooled, conduction-cooled and a Ruggedised Enhanced Design Implementation (REDI VITA 48).
