EP&T Magazine
Electronics Embedded Systems EngineeringPIXUS TECHNOLOGIES PXS0309 is a 3U ATCA Hybrid shelf that provides a single ATCA node slot and an AdvancedMC Super-Carrier that supports 8 mid-size, single width AMCs. Because of the flexibility and versatility of supporting 8 AMC slots that can be utilized for additional processing, (I/O, FPGA processing, storage), product is suitable for a wide range of communication, industrial and defense applications. Typically, only 4 mid-size AMCs can fit on an ATCA carrier, but product supports 8 mid-size AMC modules enabling 8 AMCs and 1 ATCA blade to fit in a 3U ATCA shelf. With 400W available to both slots, high performance CPUs can be supported on the ATCA blade and high performance AMCs can be supported. All AMCs are hot swappable. One or two Shelf Managers (ShMC) are supported; in redundant mode, ShMC fail-over is supported and ShMCs are hot swappable. Carrier fabric options include PCIe, sRIO, 10GbE, and 40GbE.
