Description

XTend1000 is a 64 bit/66 Mhz PCI extender card designed to provide a flexible, low cost alternative for CompactPCI or PMC module development. XTend1000 allows an obsolete or inexpensive PC to take the place of an expensive CompactPCI backplane and/or PMC carrier card. XTend1000 includes a host of options that allow it to ease development and lower costs in a wide variety of situations.

The inclusion of an ATX power connector allows XTend1000 to work either standalone with just a PC compatible power supply, or hosted on an inexpensive PC motherboard. A built in 3.3V power supply allows XTend1000 to overcome the limitations of older 5V only backplanes. Access to all PCI signals is provided through a set of debug headers and a VME connector.

Xtend1000 also provides a universal platform for field application engineers – they can host PMC and cPCI demonstrations or product evaluations on a single Xtend1000 card + power supply. No bulky (and expensive) chassis to lug thru airport security or leave behind at customer sites. Customers benefit, too – they can utilize Xtend1000 with our 48 hour delivery program to begin project/software development instantly.
