NAMC-EXT-RTM-F/R and NAMC-EXT-RTM-F-PS

 

The NAMC-EXT-RTM-F and the NAMC-EXT-RTM-F-PS are passive extenders in double width format based on Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form factor. It is intended for debugging systems based on MicroTCA.4. The NAMC-EXT-RTM-R is the corresponding extender for degugging rear-transition modules (RTM).

The NAMC-EXT-RTM-F and NAMC-EXT-RTM-F-PS enable the user to access the double width AMC modules while the NAMC-EXT-RTM-R provides access to RTMs under test from both sides.

The extenders support all fabric connectors as specified by the AMC.x and the additional I/O connector of the MicroTCA.4 specifications. For the purpose of voltage and current measurements the NAMC-EXT-RTM-F and NAMC-EXT-RTM-F-PS allow access to the respective power planes. The extenders are targeted at any applications running in MicroTCA.4 systems.

Key features:

NAMC-EXT-RTM-F:

  • Easy signal access to the front and rear side of an AMC module from outside the chassis
  • Voltage and current measurement of mangement and payload power
  • Test points for soldering additional cables to measure all AMC signals
  • Test points for JTAG interface
  • NAMC-EXT-RTM-F-PS:
    additional 3.3V on-board power supply (PS) allows stand-alone mode of an AMC module (only 12V required)
  • NAMC-EXT-RTM-R:
    Easy signal access to the front and rear side of an RTM module from outside the chassis
