WIXOM, Mich. – Acromag in Wixom, Mich., is introducing the VPX4840 and VPX4850 OpenVPX carrier cards that provide a simple and cost-effective solution for interfacing Switched Mezzanine Card (XMC) modules to a VPX embedded computing system.
The VPX4840 and VPX4850 feature two XMC slots with support for front-or rear-panel I/O. They are available with VITA 42, VITA 61, or VITA 88 connectors to route power and interface bus signals to the plug-in mezzanine modules.
Both carrier cards support a choice of direct PCI Express connection to the VPX backplane via the data or expansion plane. The XMC sites have a 16-lane PCI Express bus Gen A3 interface enabling rapid data throughput.

By inserting XMC mezzanine modules on the carrier, including XMC processor (prXMC) modules, developers can use hundreds of available function modules.
Air-cooled versions of the OpenVPX modules operate in temperatures from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius, and models with extended temperature ranges or conduction cooling are available.
