The ATC113 is VadaTech next generation carrier four PMC/XMC/PrPMC sites onto a single Advanced Telecommunication Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA) node carrier. The ATC113 allows for integration of readily available PMC, XMC and PrPMC modules into the AdvancedTCA environment.
The ATC109 provides two PCIe x16 style right angle connectors that can accept any PCIe standard size module. Any of the PCIe x4 lanes can be configured as the up stream port. This allows the host (root complex) to be an external host connected to the ATC109 via front or rear. Further the host could reside on the PCIe slots that are on the ATC109.
This modular approach allows an AdvancedTCA chassis to utilize widely available high-end PCIe modules such as a PC graphics cards and capitalize on the economies of scale of the PC market.
The ATC106 is an ATCA node carrier that provides a VME64x interface accepting any single slot VMEbus board. The ATC106 has up/down ports to allow an outside host processor access to the VMEbus board without routing the VMEbus signals through the ATCA backplane. An external blade can use an AMC103 or PCI103 to link to the ATC106. The VMEbus board can be configured to run in a non-transparent mode, root complex or transparent mode.
The ATC106 can be linked to other VadaTech products such as ATC103/ATC104/ ATC105/ATC107/ATC108/AMC103 and to other ATC106s via the PCIe up/down stream port so that all I/O modules are made available to the host seamlessly. This modular approach allows an AdvancedTCA chassis to integrate widely available VMEbus form factor boards in an ATCA chassis. The VMEbus interface is the 2eSST VMEbus protocol with a 320 Mbyte/s transfer rate across the VMEbus. The ATC106 can also utilize legacy protocol for older VMEbus products.
