NAMC-EXT and NAMC-EXT-PS

The NAMC-EXT and the NAMC-EXT-PS are passive extenders in single width format based on Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form factor intended for debugging systems based on Advanced Telecommunication Computing Architecture (ATCA) or MicroTCA.

The NAMC-EXT and the NAMC-EXT-PS enable users to access AMC modules from both sides in a running system. The extenders support all fabric connectors as specified by the AMC.x and the MicroTCA specifications.

They allow access to the respective power planes for voltage and current measurements. The modules are ideally suited for ATCA or MicroTCA systems used to test and debug AMC module technology.

Key features:

• Easy signal access to the front and rear side of an AMC module from outside of 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-PS: additional 3.3V on-board
  power supply (PS) allows standalone mode of an AMC module (only 12V required)

Technical Data

AMC Interface
All fabrics are connected through (from AMC rear to front connector)

Power Consumption
Due to absence of components the NAMC-EXT and NAMC-EXT-PS draw almost no power from the carrier's power supply
