VT812

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:

VT812 is a compact, cost-effective MTCA.4 chassis supporting redundant MCH and power. It supports four MTCA.4 mid-size AMCs plus RTMs, and up to four standard single or double module AMCs, all in a compact 2U form factor.

The VT812 supports redundant MCH and Power Modules. There are no active components on the backplane and the unit has dual redundant FRU information and Carrier Locators.

The compact design, together with a mix of MTCA.4 and standard MTCA.0 slots mean the VT812 is well suited to deployed applications with high I/O requirements.

Key Features:

• 19” x 2U x 14.2” deep chassis with redundant MCH, Power Modules and integrated Cooling Units
• Supports a mix of MTCA.0 and MTCA.4 AMCs
• 26-layer backplane
• High speed MTCA connectors (12.5 GHz)
• Radial I2C bus to each AMC and telco alarm
• JTAG Switch Module (JSM) slot for programming/debugging with front port access
• TCLKA, TCLKB, TCLKC, TCLKD and FCLKA
• Removable Air Filter, Power Module and Fan Tray
• Single or dual 500W AC Universal Power Module or dual 796W DC module
• ESD jack
• IPMI 2.0 compliant
