Acromag Introduces New VPX 6U Carrier Cards, Hosting XMC & AcroPack mPCIe I/O Modules

摘要

Acromag's latest Open VPX carrier boards feature five mezzanine slots to interface a combination of modules to the bus over a highspeed PCIe Gen 3 link. Acromag expands their offering of OpenVPX solutions with the new Model VPX4520 and VPX4521 6U carrier cards, providing mezzanine slots for one XMC and four mini-PCIe or AcroPack I/O modules. The XMC module site can host a network communication, FPGA, GPU, SBC, or other I/O signal processor card. The four AcroPack slots provide a rugged PCIe mini card interface for a mix of analog, digital, serial, and other I/O functions. A PCIe Gen 3×16 interface connects to the VPX bus either via the data plane or expansion plane. Convection and conduction-cooled versions are available with support for extended temperature ranges from -40 to 85°C. Air-cooled models offer front panel access to the I/O while conduction models route all signals to the rear backplane connectors.
