Plug in Cards
VPX:
VPX products are widely deployed in military and aerospace environments and Concurrent Technologies supplies a range of single board computers, switches, storage, XMC carriers as well as development systems.
Rugged variants are usually available based on a rigorous testing cycle to ensure reliability despite severe operating temperatures, shock, vibration, altitude and other environmental factors.
VME:
VME continues to be a well supported and widely installed bus architecture particularly in the defense market.
We offer a choice of Intel® processor-based VME boards designed for long life-cycle applications.
These high performance processor boards are complemented by a choice of switch fabric boards, XMC and PMC carriers, and mass storage modules.
XMC:
XMC modules are an ideal way to add functionality to modular, open standards based systems.
These mezzanine modules are about the size of an iPhone® and are plugged into compatible slots on a host processor or carrier board to create the perfect mix of functionality for specific applications.
XMC builds upon the success of the PMC standard by ensuring a common form factor but with higher bandwidth communications using PCI Express® interconnects.
CompactPCI:
Our range of 6U CompactPCI ® products provides the user with a choice of high performance, highly integrated slot controllers and peripheral controllers.
These boards use Intel® processor platforms for ease of programming and widespread availability over long life-cycles. 3U CompactPCI ® (CPCI) continues to be a popular architecture, particularly for transportation and defense applications. We offer a range of commercial and ruggedized processor boards based on high performance Intel® Core™ processors, or the lower power Intel® Atom™ processors.
