ADLINK’s VPX3000 Series rugged 3U VPX processor blade is designed for system integrators with the need for an advanced VPX board with VPX REDI and OpenVPX compliance in order to deploy high performance military and aerospace applications. The series features the 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor with Mobile Intel QM77 Express Chipset and provides up to 8 GB DDR3-1333/1600 dual channel ECC memory soldered onboard, one PCI Express x8 XMC.3 site with VITA 46.9 rear IO, and onboard soldered 16 GB SLC SATA solid state drive. The processor blade provides two Gen2 PCI Express x4 (or 1x PCIe x8) to P1 with DMA and Non-Transparent Capability. Rear I/O via P1 and P2 includes 1000BASE-T, HD audio, 2x SATA 6 Gb/s, 1x SATA 3 Gb/s, USB 3.0/2.0, GPIO, VGA, DVI, RS-232 and RS-422. The product is rugged conduction-cooled with conformal coating and supports VITA 46, VPX REDI 48, OpenVPX VITA 65, and VITA 47 environmental specifications. A rear transition module is available to access rear I/O signals, and a test backplane supporting three payload slots is available for validating functionality.
