| Exchangeable mezzanine for switching tests |
Sunnyvale, CA— February 01, 2012 —PCI-SYSTEMS Inc. , a leading supplier of conduction cooled systems, today announced a OpenVPX , 6U flexible extender, enabling accelerated development of rugged conduction cooled embedded systems.
The VPX extender modules are built to extend a 6U VPX board completely out of a chassis, providing access to all sides of the module for testing and debugging.
Or solution features a Tyco Multi-Gig RT-2 connector “mini” backplane module to solve the problem of not having a right angle female connector for the DUT side of the extender.
There is a wide variety of mezzanine modules available, connected to the base board via ERNI high speed 10 GBit/s connectors.
• Signal rate: Gen2 5.0 GT/s
• Controlled impedance
• 100 Ohm differential pairs
• LED power rail status monitoring
• Conforms to VITA 46 VPX and OpenVPX
• Alignment keying provided on both sides of the extender
• Wedgelocks for tests with conduction cooled systems included
• Can be used for air cooled and conduction cooled applications
Optional Mezzanines:
• Re-driver for add-on cards
• Re-driver for CPU slot
• Interposer module for bus analyzer
PCI-SYSTEMS Inc. develops and manufactures intelligent VPX Systems, cPCI, CPU and peripheral boards as well as advanced mechanical design solutions in the US and Germany for many platforms that provide precision control of robotic and automated equipment in the semiconductor, medical and industrial equipment markets as well as for ruggedized embedded OEM applications in airborne and defense applications.
