VPX (previously known as VITA 46) brings switched fabrics to VMEbus-based systems. VPX was specifically created with the defense community in mind, and it retains the existing 6U and 3U form factors, supports existing PMC and XMC mezzanines, and maintains the maximum possible compatibility with VMEbus.

With limited real estate for mezzanines on next generation ATCA processor blades, adding I/O with AdvancedMCs may not be an option. Intelligent Advanced Rear Transition Modules (ARTMs) offer a powerful, flexible solution. Using the Zone 3 connector through the rear of the ATCA blade, system designers can tailor the I/O capabilities of their processor blades to their application. They can configure I/O cabling once, and swap processor blades in and out independently. Intelligent ARTMs do more than simply extend a port; they add functionality to the processor blade and we can customize the functionality and the pinouts for specific applications. We have an expansive portfolio of AdvancedMC designs to leverage, and the customization expertise to create ARTMs for your specific application.

Processor PMCs (PrPMC) maximize design flexibility with a modular approach to adding processing power to a host board. The PMC Card functions as a complete processor subsystem and can be used to control a carrier card, effectively making it into a Single Board Computer or blade. The processor module can be added to any system with an open PMC slot.

GE Fanuc complements its VME processor solutions with PowerPC-based 6U single board computers developed to meet the needs of demanding embedded applications.

PowerPC-based CPCI boards are designed for use in a broad spectrum of applications from military and aerospace to commercial and telecommunications systems. They are available with diverse feature sets to accommodate the unique requirements of demanding real-time applications.
