VPX embedded computing design and development tools backplane for EW, SIGINT, and radar introduced by LCR
JEFFERSONVILLE, Pa. – LCR Embedded Systems Inc. in Jeffersonville, Pa., is introducing the next generation in the company's DK3 VPX design and development tools for high-performance systems in electronic warfare (EW), RF, signals intelligence (SIGINT) and radar applications.
The DK3HS-4 embedded computing development system is 4-slot system that supports 100-gigabit data rates (25 gigabits per lane). The development platform is more compact and lighter weight than other DK3 models, and is for test and integration of and emerging 3U VPX, OpenVPX, and SOSA-aligned plug-in cards in systems with low slot counts.
The DK3HS-4 backplane supports high speed 100GBASE-KR4 and PCI Express Gen 4/Gen 5 protocols. The open-frame benchtop chassis weighs 16 pounds and is available with a standard 4-slot power and ground backplane.
Easy cable access
It enables easy access for Meritec cabling, so systems designers can establish the data flows and backplane profile necessary for system integration. The DK3HS-4 is also available with custom routed backplanes.
The standard backplane has two populated slots and two slots with VITA 67 full-width apertures for any connector type required. Apertures facilitate VITA 66 and 67 connectors for plug-in cards with optical and RF connectivity.
For additional I/O, the DK3HS-4 has an open-access 4-slot rear transition area. Card slots are configurable and can be adapted to accept conduction-cooled VITA 48.2 or air-cooled plug-in cards on a slot-by-slot basis. High speed fans keep high power cards cool during functional testing.
