AT-AMC1 is an AMC.1 compliant AdvancedTCA (ATCA) carrier blade that is available with two double-wide or four single-wide bays. The carriers support up to four extended full-size, single-width AdvancedMCs (AMCs) or up to two extended full-size, double-width AMCs.

The serial fabric interface to each of the AT-AMC2's AMC slots complies with the AMC.1 and AMC.2 Specifications for the Common Options and Fat Pipes regions. One AMC bay supports x8 PCIe interfaces (AMC.1 Type 8) on AMC ports 4 - 11; the other three AMC bays accommodate x4 PCIe interfaces (AMC.1 Type 4) on AMC ports 4 - 7. These lanes can be configured x1, x2, x4, or x8 depending on AMC performance requirements. GbE is supported on AMC ports 0 and 1 (AMC.2 Type E2). These GbE lanes can be used as control / data points as well as for redundancy. The PCIe and GbE lanes each terminate into a high performance non-blocking switch. The AT-AMC1 is also AMC.3 compliant via AMC ports 2 and 3 enabling support for applications requiring storage I/O (SAS/SATA) AdvancedMCs.

AT-AMC1 is designed to deliver carrier services for any AMC.1-compliant AMC including processor, WAN I/O, LAN I/O, or storage AMCs. This allows the carrier blade to be optimized for high-performance architectures that support next-generation IP-centric applications such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC).
