QMC carrier cards provide an electrical and mechanical interface for QMC mezzanine modules. A QMC module plugs into the carrier card to interface connected I/O and perform a variety of signal processing functions. Acromag’s QPCe7210 carriers are PCIe expansion cards with a single QMC site and a high-density connector for field I/O signals. The QMC module’s PCIe bus interface routes to the carrier card edge connector for communication with the host computer.
QPCe7210 carrier cards offer a variety of features to support a broad range of QMC modules. A standard 14-pin JTAG programming header facilitates programming and debugging of QMC modules equipped with an FPGA device. Fused, +3.3V, +3.3V Aux, +12V, DC power lines are available for the QMC module. An on-board fan provides direct cooling to the QMC module.
This carrier will also maintain isolation when hosting an isolated QMC module. The carrier’s QMC host connector is electrically isolated from the QMC I/O connector.
QMC carrier cards adhere to the VITA 93 standard for small form factor (SFF) mezzanine modules. Two high-performance 80-pin connectors for each QMC module site provide separate field I/O and PCIe bus host interfaces. The rugged design is well-suited for use in laboratory, industrial, defense, and aerospace applications.
Use of any single-width, 26 x 78.25mm VITA 93 compliant QMC module is supported. Typical applications involve monitoring sensors and controlling equipment levels in deployed systems or for lab test and simulation projects. Other common operations include communication, networking, and signal or protocol conversion. With powerful FPGAs, GPUs and other processors, QMCs can perform image processing, adaptive filtering, sensor fusion, artificial intelligence, and machine learning functions.
