MicroTCA - Streamlined to Market Requirements

From Kontron USA
 

 

Following the success of CompactPCI there is now a form factor from a further PICMG standard that has already established itself on the market - Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMC), the mutual part of AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA. In contrast to the parallel bus systems of VME and CPCI, AdvancedMCs are based on serial interfaces and supports different transport systems such as, for example, PCI-Express, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Serial Rapid I/O and SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)/SATA (Serial ATA). The MicroTCA standard (Micro-Telecom Computing Architecture) originates in telecommunications and allows to build systems based on AMCs.


Products & Services
Network equipment is used to split, switch, boost, or direct packets of information along a network. This product area includes network hubs, switches, routers, bridges, gateways, multiplexers, transceivers and firewalls. Often, network equipment is defined by is protocol or port type (e.g., Ethernet switch, USB hub). Search by Specification | Learn more about Network Equipment
Serial communication products are used in industrial and commercial systems to transmit data bit-by-bit, or sequentially, over a single wire. They include serial servers, serial hubs, serial adapters, serial data converters, serial routers, and serial multiplexers. Search by Specification | Learn more about Serial Communications Products
Serial adapters provide one or more serial ports to a host computer. They interface with the host computer via a data bus and add RS232, RS422, RS485 and/or other types of serial ports. Search by Specification | Learn more about Serial Adapters
Parallel communications products are used in industrial and commercial systems to transmit character data (byte) by sending the bits down parallel electrical paths simultaneously. Learn more about Parallel Communications Products
Serial communications computer boards are boards or ports that transmit data by sending the bits one after the other over a single wire. Learn more about Serial Communications Computer Boards
