Pelican™ PMC Carrier for VME

PMC Carrier Board Family

IXI’s family of PMC carrier cards adapt PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMC) to a variety of bus architectures including VME, VME64, VME64x, PCI, and PCI Express (PCIe). PMCs combine the electrical characteristics of the PCI bus with the mechanical dimensions of the Common Mezzanine Card (CMC) format, resulting in a small daughter card that can be mounted in industry standard slots to add system features, increase computing power, or increase I/O channel density. IXI’s family of PMC carriers provide a range of I/O capabilites and space-saving form factors to help you build robust, modular systems using PMCs. Choose from our family of PMC carriers to take advantage of the flexibility, economy, and performance of PMC technology.

VME/PMC Carrier Card

The VME/PMC Carrier is a 6U VME card that supports up to 2 PMC modules. Its industry standard Tundra Universe II VME/PCI bridge chip assures compliance with VME and PCI bus standards. The card comes standard with easy to read front panel configuration displays, front panel reset switch, and two single wide PMC slots. IXI’s VME/PMC Carrier allows you to build more powerful and less expensive systems by increasing board density while saving VME slot space for future system enhancements.

VME64/64X PMC Carrier Card

PMC modules may have user I/O pins that are vendor or application dependent. In an effort to maintain flexibility, ANSI/VITA standardized different I/O routing schemes, most of which are mutually exclusive. It was from the need to support the different routing schemes that the 64 and 64x were developed. With both the standard and these two variations of the VME/PMC Carrier, IXI can support all standard user I/O routing schemes.
