Concurrent Technologies Plc in Colchester, England, is introducing 3U VPX-REDI computer boards called the TR 501/36x for defense, aerospace, and security applications. The VPX-REDI single-board computer is based on Intel’s latest dual-core processors that meets the OpenVPX VITA 65 standard, and uses the 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 processor. The 3U VPX computer board supports as much as eight gigabytes DDR3-1066 soldered SDRAM solid state memory and I/O interfaces like an XMC site. The rugged conduction cooled variant, TR 501/36x RC, supports VPX REDI Type 1 two-level maintenance. The TR 501/36x embedded computer provides a PCI Express (PCIe) OpenVPX backplane fabric interface that can be configured for several OpenVPX slot profiles. The embedded computing board is suited for systems with direct wiring between slots on the backplane and for systems linked by a fabric switch card. An air-cooled pin-compatible VPX version is also available for non-rugged applications and bench development. The TR 501/36x board supports the 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 processor and offers six megabytes of on-die cache. For more information contact Concurrent Technologies online at www.gocct.com.
