Intel® Atom™ Z530 processor features on OpenVPX 3U VPX-REDI board

Concurrent Technologies introduces a leading edge ultra low power 3U VPX-REDI single board computer (SBC), the TR A40/30x RC, designed to comply with the OpenVPX VITA 65 standard. The TR A40/30x RC utilizes the 1.6 GHz Intel® Atom™ processor Z530 and the highly integrated Intel® System Controller Hub US15W both from the Intel® embedded roadmap, ensuring long term availability. The board supports up to 2 Gbytes DDR2-533 soldered SDRAM and a wide variety of I/O interfaces, including a CANbus interface, yet maintains a typical power requirement of less than 10 Watts. The RC-Series TR A40/30x RC is a VPX REDI Type 1 Two Level Maintenance conduction-cooled board with support for Built In Test (BIT). The TR A40/30x RC SBC provides a flexible PCI Express® (PCIe) OpenVPX backplane fabric interface that can be configured for several OpenVPX slot profiles from 8 x1 PCIe ports through to 2 x4 PCIe ports. This fabric flexibility makes the board well suited for both systems with direct wiring between slots on the backplane and for systems linked by a fabric switch card. An air-cooled pin-compatible VPX version is also available for non-rugged applications and bench development. The TR A40/30x RC 3U VPX REDI Intel Atom processor SBC is well suited to low power rugged applications particularly within the defense market.
