TEWS Technologies introduces VPX carrier for VITA 93 QMC modules
PINNEBERG, Germany - TEWS Technologies has introduced the TVPX210, a 3U VPX carrier designed to integrate VITA 93 QMC modules into defense and aerospace embedded computing systems.
The SOSA-aligned carrier provides three single-width QMC sites that can accommodate up to three single-width modules, one double-width module and one single-width module, or one triple-width module. This configuration flexibility lets system designers tailor input/output (I/O) capabilities to mission requirements without redesigning the carrier hardware.
A non-blocking PCI Express Gen 3 switch distributes the host interface across the three QMC sites, providing each site with PCIe Gen 3 x4 connectivity. QMC I/O signals are routed to the VPX P1 and P2 rear connectors for integration through the system backplane or a transition card, eliminating the need for additional front-panel cabling.
The TVPX210 implements the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard payload slot profile SLT3-PAY-2U2U-14.2.17 and includes a VITA 46.11-compatible system management controller. The controller supports system health monitoring, inventory management, and communication with the VPX System Manager.
The carrier is available in a conduction-cooled configuration with a VPX REDI implementation compliant with ANSI/VITA 48.2.
TEWS Technologies offers QMC modules for analog and digital I/O, serial communications, networking, Controller Area Network (CAN), and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) applications.
