VPX6-215 6U Carrier Card
Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions' VPX6-215 ExpressReach PMC/XMC and IPM carrier card provides great flexibility to system integrators needing to expand their VPX-based systems' I/O complement via standard PMC modules and/or XMC modules. A direct PCIe connection over the VPX backplane allows host processors access to a high-performance, low latency native PCIe interface to the VPX6-215 carrier card. To a host processor, PMC and XMC modules on the VPX6-215 appear as if they were on the host processor. A standard 4-lane PCIe interface provides a nominal data rate of 1GB in each direction.
