Acromag VPX4820 OpenVPX carrier card

Click2Contact

Acromag’s VPX4820 is a non-intelligent mezzanine carrier card, providing 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.

Users can connect to the OpenVPX via an expansion plane for a direct PCIe connection over the VPX backplane. This allows host processors access to a high-performance, low-latency interconnect to the PMC and XMC modules on the carrier card.

The PMC site uses 32/64-bit, PLX technology with a PCIe to PCI-X bridge, while the XMC site enables rapid data throughput with its use of an 8-lane PCIe Gen 2 interface, supporting front or rear panel I/O.
