XPand1203
The XPand1203 is a low-cost, flexible, development platform that provides a feature-rich solution to support rapid prototyping and system development. This platform supports up to eight 0.8 in. or 1.0 in. pitch conduction-cooled VPX (VITA 48.2) modules.
Product Lifecycle
X-ES also offers comprehensive configuration and obsolescence management services, providing customers with direct control over non-interchangeable changes and extending product availability and serviceability well beyond standard end-of-life milestones.
Engineered for Extended Reliability
All X-ES products are designed and manufactured 100% in the USA with components from trusted supply chains in order to deliver rugged, reliable performance in the most demanding environments.
Built with components rated for extreme conditions and validated through rigorous testing, our solutions minimize obsolescence risk and lower total cost of ownership across the full program lifespan.
XPand1203 Platform Overview
The XPand1203 is a low-cost, flexible, development platform.
This platform supports up to eight 0.8 in. or 1.0 in. pitch conduction-cooled VPX (VITA 48.2) modules.
Power Distribution
It provides 650 W of total simultaneous power, which can be distributed as up to 40 A on 12 V, up to 40 A on 5 V, and up to 20 A on 3.3 V.
Thermal Management
The heat from the internal conduction-cooled modules is conducted to sidewall exchangers, where it is dissipated to the ambient environment by forced-air cooling.
This efficient thermal design allows up to 70 W of power dissipation per slot at 30°C ambient, while maintaining 70°C at the module’s thermal interface.
Development Support
X-ES platforms, including the XPand1203, provide a feature-rich solution for system development.
Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) provide maximum I/O flexibility and rapid system prototyping.
System Status
Power and reset LEDs are provided for system status.
Switches allow configuration of the included VITA 62 power supply, as well as I/O signals such as reset, MaskableReset, SYSCON, System Management (SM[3:0]), and GDISCRETE.
Configuration Options
The XPand1203 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.
