3U VPX DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM · SKU 90075035
XPand1205
The XPand1205 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.
Its payload slots are compatible with SOSA™ 3U I/O-intensive plug-in card profiles (PICPs), and its switch slots are compatible with SOSA 3U Data/Control Plane and Expansion/Control Plane Switch PICPs.
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.
XPand1205 Platform Overview
The XPand1205 is a low-cost, flexible development platform, supporting up to eight 0.8 in. or 1.0 in. pitch conduction-cooled VPX (VITA 48.2) modules. Its payload slots are compatible with SOSA™ 3U I/O-intensive plug-in card profiles (PICPs), and its switch slots are compatible with SOSA 3U Data/Control Plane and Expansion/Control Plane Switch PICPs.
Power Architecture
The platform provides all VITA 46 power rails, allowing modules aligned with the SOSA Technical Standard to operate with OpenVPX™ modules for development. It delivers 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.
High-Speed Signaling
X-ES platforms like the XPand1205 provide a feature-rich solution for system development. The XPand1205 is designed to support up to 25 Gbps signaling, enabling high-bandwidth protocols such as 100GBASE-KR4 and Gen4 PCI Express.
I/O & System Prototyping
Support for Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) provides maximum I/O flexibility and rapid system prototyping. Power and reset LEDs are provided for system status, and a momentary push-button is provided for reset.
Configuration and Power Monitoring
VBAT can be sourced from the included VITA 62 supply, a coincell battery, or an external power source for ease of making current measurements. Toggle switches allow for configuration of the included VITA 62 power supply, non-volatile memory write protection (NVMRO), and other I/O signals.
