AMMT - Active Modular Backplane Mezzanine Technology

PCI-Systems Inc. forward looking Active Modular Backplane Mezzanine Technology (AMMT) (PATENT PENDING) for very high speed interslot communication is currently being deployed in various 3U VPX projects. 

The technology is paramount in future techologies clustered around the VPX (www.vita.com) standard, and is being used in current VPX designs from PCI-Systems Inc.

A passive backplane, with an active piggyback mezzanine facilitates the use of in-chip backplane profile configurating and very high speed interslot communication with large signal count.

Features:

• x16 / x32 PCIe GEN3 interslot communication
• No more space limitations for routing of many signals in a small form factor
• On backplane processing
• On backplane slot configuration using crosspoint switch

Please ask your representative or PCI-Systems Inc for the presentation!

Crosswind 600 Chassis used in F-18 aircraft for automated carrier landing system demonstrator

Based on the CrossWind 600 cold plate ATR chassis, the system uses a PCIe Gen2 bus structure with STAR topology. Intel based i7 boards and Freescale 4080 PowerPC boards are controlling MILbus, ARINC and serial I/O boards. An integrated 16 channel Gigabit Ethernet switch is connected to several slots and to the rear I/O on MIL connectors.

High speed data transfers on PCIe Gen 2 and Gen 3 switch fabric in a STAR configuration offer the lowest latency by tightly coupling all PCIe devices to a common 100MHz reference clock. It allows CPU and peripheral boards to communicate with the fastest data rate.

The lightweight 3U VPX chassis are used in demonstrating automated aircraft carrier landings with F18 fighter aircraft. 

Flight Test Successful!

In this project we supplied the cPCI chassis, backplane, PSU, rear I/O and 3U XMC carrier boards.

• Fiber Optic Bus Wavelength Divison Multiplexing
• 160Gbit/s per module
• Using only one fiber
• 70 separate independent networks
