02Core Capabilities

XPand1015 Platform Overview

The XPand1015 system is a low-cost development platform for conduction-cooled 6U VPX cards.

It supports up to two 0.8 in. or 1.0 in. 6U VPX boards and utilizes RTMs to simplify I/O access and support rapid system prototyping.

Flexible Slot Configuration

The XPand1015 can be configured as two I/O isolated slots, with all I/O from the payload passed to the RTM.

Optionally, the XPand1015 can be configured with Quad Fat Pipe (QFP) J2 interconnects, with the remaining I/O from the payload passed to the RTM.

System Controls & Status

Power and reset LEDs are provided for system status.

A momentary push button is provided for reset, and a switch is provided to enable DC power.

Power Supply

Power is provided via the included 6U VPX VITA 62 power supply.

An included external XPm9001 power supply plugs into a standard 120 V wall outlet to produce 28 V DC to power the VITA 62 supply.

Thermal Management

The XPand1015 dissipates heat from the conduction-cooled modules to sidewall heat exchangers, where it is quietly dissipated to the ambient environment by forced-air cooling.

Standard & Custom Configurations

The XPand1015 is currently available for purchase in several rapid-development standard configurations.

Custom configurations of modules, RTMs, and backplanes are also available utilizing X-ES and third-party components.
