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.
