VPX3001
3U VPX PCIexpress Switch and PMC/XMC Carrier
The VPX3001 is a high-performance 3U OpenVPX™ PCI Express switch and PMC/XMC carrier designed to deliver high-speed performance for data-intensive, high bandwidth applications. The PCIe Gen3 switch provides maximum switching capabilities for fast data transfers, ideal for industrial and defense systems requiring high-speed I/O.
The VPX3001 allows for easy system integration of single board computers and I/O modules in an OpenVPX™ system. It provides a PCIe switch (Gen 1/2/3) and a mezzanine carrier.
On the VPX3001 are a PCIe switch and a PCIe-to-PCI-X bridge. The PCIe-to-PCI-X bridge connects the PMC interface to the PCIe switch. The XMC interface is connected to the PCIe switch using PCIe x8, where the PCIe-to-PCI-X bridge is connected to the PCIe switch using PCIe x4. This leaves 16 PCIe lanes for a flexible and scalable interface configuration to the backplane. The PCIe lanes between switch and VPX™ backplane can be configured as four Fat Pipes (x4), four Thin Pipes (x2) or four Ultra Thin Pipes (x1). Or the lanes can also be combined as two Double Fat Pipes (x8) or one Quad Fat Pipe (x16).
The new Gen3 switch offers maximum PCIe switching speed on 8GT/s and still being compatible with the Gen1/2 interfaces.
Populated with a processor XMC/PMC, the VPX3001 can act both as a system controller or as a non-system controller module.
