XMC/PMC DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM · SKU 90073990
XTend3103
The XTend3103, in conjunction with a standard off-the-shelf ATX power supply, provides a complete desktop or benchtop PCI/PCI-X XMC and PMC platform for development, evaluation, and testing.
Product Lifecycle
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.
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.
X-ES also offers comprehensive configuration management solutions that extend product support and availability beyond final sale, keeping systems running long after standard end-of-life milestones.
XTend3103 Platform Overview
The XTend3103 is a dual XMC/PMC carrier card that offers a compact, low-cost development platform for XMC/PMC modules.
In conjunction with a standard off-the-shelf ATX power supply, the XTend3103 provides a complete desktop or benchtop PCI/PCI-X XMC and PMC platform for development, evaluation, and testing, without the need for an expensive and bulky CompactPCI/VME PMC carrier card and chassis.
High-Performance Module Cooling
The XTend3103 features four integrated 40 mm fans arranged in a push-pull configuration to provide ample airflow for even the most power-hungry modules (up to 50 W each).
Onboard Power Supplies
The XTend3103 also provides onboard +5 V, +3.3 V, and -12 V power supplies, sourcing only +12 V from the ATX power supply.
This arrangement avoids the voltage drop and ampacity problems commonly associated with powering high-performance mezzanine modules using ATX supplies.
Early Rear I/O Access
Another common problem with XMC/PMC development is lack of early access to rear I/O ports. This is especially troublesome with conduction-cooled modules, which by design do not have Ethernet or serial access via front panel connectors.
The XTend3103 solves this problem by providing a XIM/PIM (XMC/PMC I/O module) site for each XMC/PMC.
Flexible Development and Testing
These sites, when used in conjunction with the appropriate XIM/PIM, can provide the necessary I/O during the early development stage, when custom backplanes and wiring harnesses are often not available.
PCI-X
- Dual 32/64-bit PCI/PCI-X sites up to 133 MHz
- Conventional PCI 33/66 MHz or PCI-X 66/100/133 MHz
- Auto PCI speed and mode detection
Mezzanine I/O
- Two XIM/PIM sites for XMC/PMC rear I/O
XMC
- XMC sites support per VITA 42 or VITA 61 connectors
- XMC 0 and XMC 1 can be configured as isolated or connected sites
- 100 MHz reference clock provided to each XMC site
Cooling
- Four integrated 40 mm fans
- Push-pull airflow
Power Supplies
- Onboard +5 V, +3.3 V, and -12 V supplies
- Supplies up to 100 W combined to XMC/PMC sites
- Only +12 V is sourced from ATX supply
Power Requirements (from ATX supply)
- Power will vary based on configuration and usage. Please consult factory.
