VT815

The VT815 is a 9U μTCA chassis that provides 12 AMC full-size double module slots that can accept any AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.3 and/or AMC.4. It makes full use of the μTCA specification capabilities to support high-power AMCs and provide high-bandwidth local interconnects. The RTM provision follows μTCA.4 specification, but the extended options region does not since this is configured for FPGA and storage connectivity.

The VT815 provides FCLKA, TCLKA, TCLKB, TCLKC and TCLKD to each slot. It offers redundant MCH, power modules, as well as redundant cooling units for high availability. The three hot-plug capable power supplies can provide 1100W AC each for a total of 3300W.

The VT815 has a Telco Alarm as well as redundant FRU information devices and carrier locators.The VT815 has a JSM slot which routes to each JTAG port of the AMC.

VT814

The VT814 is a compact, cost-effective μTCA.4 chassis supporting a single MCH and redundant power. It supports six μTCA.4 AMCs plus RTMs in a compact 2U form factor. Backplane connectivity supports up to PCIe Gen x8 to each AMC.

The VT814 supports a single MCH and redundant Power Modules. There are no active components on the backplane and the unit has dual redundant FRU information and Carrier Locators.

The backplane design equalises clock delays across the AMC slots, minimizing the requirement for skew correction in high-energy physics applications.

The compact design and PCIe Gen3 x8 support mean the VT814 is well suited to deployed applications with high connectivity requirements.

VT813

The VT813 is an 8U μTCA.4 chassis that provides 12 AMC mid-size double module slots that can accept any AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.3 and/or AMC.4. It provides FCLKA, TCLKA, TCLKB, TCLKC and TCLKD to each slot. The VT813 has full redundancy. It’s capable of having redundant MCH, power modules, as well as redundant cooling units for high availability. The four hot-plug capable power supplies can provide 1100W AC each for a total of 4400W.

Ports 2-3, 12-15 and 17-20 are connected among the slots per the uTCA.4 recommendation. The VT813 has a Telco Alarm as well as redundant FRU information devices and carrier locators. The VT813 has a JSM slot which routes to each JTAG port of the AMC. The VT813 has provision to route cables from the front to back via channel below the card cage.
