These 3U mezzanine carrier cards provide asimple and cost-effective solution for interfacing a XMC module to a VPX computer system. The carrier card routes power and bus signals to a plug-in mezzanine module through the VPX card slot connector. Industrial I/O and configurable FPGA modules from Acromag or other vendors are supported.
The VPX4812 can be used as a VPX switch card allowing a host CPU to communicate with up to 3 downstream cards in addition to the XMC card. Each VPX port can be configured to be x4 or x8. These carriers are ideal for high-performance industrial, defense, scientific research, and telephony systems requiring high-speed I/O expansion. The VPX4812 is available in three versions: air-cooled, conduction-cooled and a Ruggedized Enhanced Design Implementation (REDI VITA 48).
The VPX4812 is one member of a family of 3U and 6U mezzanine carrier cards that support interfacing XMC and PMC modules to VPX systems.
