XCalibur1903

NXP QorIQ T2080 Processor-Based Conduction or Air-Cooled 6U cPCI Module

The XCalibur1903 is a high-performance 6U cPCI single board computer supporting an NXP QorIQ T2080 processor. It is a design refresh of the XCalibur1900, intended to update obsolete components while maintaining the same functionality and features.

The XCalibur1903 provides up to 8 GB of DDR3 ECC SDRAM, two XMC/PrPMC slots, and 512 MB of NOR flash (with redundancy). It supports up to three 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports, PMC I/O, USB 2.0, optional SATA ports capable of 3 Gb/s, and RS-232/422/485 serial ports out backplane connectors. An optional front panel offers 10GBASE-T Ethernet, USB 2.0, and RS-232 serial.
