Overview
The VPX-XMC module adapter allows a single width XMC module to be used
in a 3U OpenVPX slot. The adapter is available in either conduction-cooled
or air-cooled models.
The VPX-XMC adapter is designed for use in harsh environments.
Environmental ratings for temperature, vibration and shock are available
for demanding in military, heavy industry, and aerospace applications.
The adapter has configurable port mappings between the XMC and the VPX
host ports A through D. This flexible mapping allows the XMC module to
work with a variety of system topologies and backplanes.
Digital IO from the XMC is mapped to backplane connector P2 from either
J16 or Jn4 according to VITA 48.10 standard. The mapping is jumper
selectable on the adapter. Optional connections for trigger and clock
features for X3 and X6 module families are provided.
No software is required to operate the adapter unless IPMI functions
are required. All configurations may be set without IPMI. Applications
requiring system management functions for health monitoring and control
use the IPMI interface, an independent dedicated processor on the card |
