Acromag ACEX-4600 COM Express carrier card

The Acromag ACEX-4600 COM Express carrier is a rugged COM Express modular platform, designed with rigid PCBs and extended temperature support for extreme industrial and defence applications. The carrier cards employ a number of key features that are critical for successful use and applications in rugged environments.

High-density connectors provide all field connections to standard I/O, CPU and PMC/XMC modules. This connector offers high-density 500 connections and a high-speed interface of 10 GHz required to support Type 6 COM modules. The SEARAY connector supports both board-to-board and cable interfaces.

The carrier cards are ready for conduction cooling. Developers can install a CPU, carrier and expansion boards into a completely sealed enclosure. A heat dissipation approach has been developed to meet the cooling needs of all three components.

Another feature is the onboard DC/DC power supply. The carrier card operates from a single external 10–32 VDC power source. All internal supply voltages are derived from this single external DC power source and built onto the carrier card.

The product features endless combinations in a single slot; Linux, Windows and VxWorks support; sample software and diagnoses; a solid-down connector I/O interface; an operating temperature of -40°C to 85°C; and A/D, D/A, serial communication, counter/timers and FPGA.
