The enclosure provides dual, non-redundant ac inputs with 12-V power which can be converted to 5 and 3.3 V as well. A […]
Power-and-ground-only VPX backplanes target system designs based on open standards
Power- and ground-only VPX backplanes include flexible design options that meet the needs of today’s high-speed, open standards-based system architectures. These include OpenVPX, CMOSS- and HOST-compliant hardware as well as systems aligned to The Open Group Sensor System Open Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard or even custom designs. System designers can cost-effectively test and build open […]
OpenVPX chassis platform sports version 220-mm deep
A new chassis for extra deep OpenVPX 6U boards allows up to 16 slots of 220-mm boards at a 1.0-in pitch or 14 slots at a 1.2-in pitch. The enclosure also facilitates an optional mix of various slot pitches as well as card guides for either air or conduction-cooled boards. Versions for extra deep 3U […]
When to measure conductivity instead of resistivity
Resistivity and its inverse, conductivity, are different from the more familiar metrics, resistance and its inverse, conductance. Resistivity is applicable to types of materials. For example, glass and carbon have specific resistivities whereas a particular carbon resistor of a given length, diameter and temperature has a specific resistance. In a nutshell, resistance is defined as […]
OpenVPX modules carry eight-core Intel Xeon W-11000E series processors
The recently announced VPX6-1961 single-board computer (SBC) will feature the new Intel Xeon W-11000E Series processor. The VPX6-1961 harnesses the extended operating performance of the Intel Xeon W-11000E to deliver an industry leading SBC capable of delivering the highest performance over extreme temperature, shock, and vibration conditions, as required by the most demanding deployed defense […]
