The XPand1007 system is a development platform for conduction-cooled 3U VPX cards. It supports up to two 0.8 in. or 1.0 in. 3U VPX boards and utilizes RTMs to simplify I/O access and support rapid system prototyping. The XPand1007 can be configured with multiple backplane options. Power and reset LEDs are provided for system status. Switches allow configuration for the included VITA 62 power supply, as well as reset and other I/O signals.
An included external XPm9001 power supply plugs into a standard 120 V wall outlet to produce 24 V DC to power an included VITA 62 supply. The VITA 62 power supply provides the DC power rails to the backplane for the VPX modules.
The XPand1007 routes heat from the conduction-cooled modules to sidewall heat exchangers, where it is quietly dissipated to the ambient environment by forced-air cooling.
The XPand1007 is currently available for purchase in several rapid-development standard configurations, including configurations aligned to Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) profiles. Custom configurations of modules, RTMs, and backplanes are also available utilizing X-ES and third-party components.
