Acromag VPX6600 3U OpenVPX single-board computer

Click2Contact

The AcroExpress VPX6600 3U OpenVPX single-board computer utilises the 6th Generation Skylake Intel Xeon processor and C230 PCH chipset for extensive I/O support.

Expanded memory performance comes with up to 32 GB of DDR4 ECC SODIMMs that are firmly attached to the board and are removable for security or upgrades. The SBC is designed for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications and manufactured to meet VITA 46.0 with a minimum seven-year life expectancy. A conduction-cooled version is also available.

An array of backplane I/O options includes PCIe x4 data and expansion planes, optional SATA III expansion plane, Ethernet ports, RS-232/422/485 ports, USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.2 ports, SATA III ports and audio. The Data Plane and Expansion Plane interfaces can be used to interconnect multiple VPX6600s or to provide PMC/XMC support.

Acromag offers C libraries for VxWorks and other operating systems. These libraries provide generic routines (source code included) to handle reads, writes, interrupts and other functions. Demonstration programs enable the developer to quickly exercise the I/O modules before attaching the routines to the application program. This diagnostic tool can save hours of troubleshooting and debugging.

The boards are RoHS compliant and suitable for military applications that require extensive specialised I/O support with advanced cooling management. Programmable power limits allow the user to ‘dial down’ the maximum power consumption of the CPU in systems where power is a concern.
