The low-power small-form-factor rugged ARM processor is rated at less than 15 Watts maximum power dissipation. The VPX3-1701 delivers the benefits of ARM technology to system designers today while providing a path to technology insertion with pin compatible, higher performance Curtiss-Wright ARM single-board computers to follow.
The VPX3-1701's high-speed backplane and XMC connectivity enable multi- gigabytes per second data flows from board-to-board through the backplane interface and from the backplane to its on-board XMC site to support the acquisition, processing, and distribution of sensor data.
The VPX-1701 is for technology refresh applications. For example, for customers looking to upgrade to VPX from their legacy CompactPCI based system architectures the VPX3-1701 delivers contemporary compute bandwidth and I/O performance for similar cost and power, company officials say.
