VT074

A MicroTCA chassis or crate is the enclosure and backplane that holds and connects the modules in a MicroTCA system.

It typically contains:

• AMC slots for FPGA, CPU, RFSoC, digital I/O, storage, and other modules
• An MCH slot for the MicroTCA Carrier Hub or an integrated MCH
• A backplane for high-speed data, clocks, management, and power
• Power modules
• Cooling fans
• Sometimes redundant power, cooling, and MCH modules

The chassis provides both the mechanical structure and the electrical infrastructure for the system.

As a standardized platform of PICMG MicroTCA systems are typically used in medical applications, telecommunications, defense as well as in measurement systems for industrial and scientific applications (e.g. particle physics).

Description:

VT074 is a MicroTCA single slot chassis which supports an AMC module insingle-width or double-width with front panel Extended-size, Full-size, or Mid-size.

The Chassis input voltage is 16-36V DC and utilizes an isolated DC/DCconverter to provide the necessary power to the AMC module.

The chassis converts AMC Ports 0-1 as GbE to the rear of the chassis as 1000Base-T. The chassis routes AMC Ports 4-7 or 8-11 to an OCuLink connector.

This allows the module to interface to the PC or link up to another module. The chassis further routes AMC Port 4-7 or 8-11 to a QSFP+.

The VT074 chassis has right to left cooling. The chassis height is 1U and it can be installed into a 19” rack with mounting brackets.

Key Features:

• MicroTCA Single slot chassis for an AMC module
• Option for AMC single-width or double-width
• Option for AMC panel size Extended, Full, or Mid-size
• Provides +12V and Management Power to the AMC Module
• Input power 16-38V DC
• Port 0 and 1 are routed as GbE to the back
• Ports 4-7 are routed to the OCuLink cable for external interface (i.e. from a PC as PCIe, jump from another chassis, etc.)
• Ports 8-11 are routed to a QSFP+ for optical link
