IMPORTANT: GOOD AIRFLOW IS REQUIRED.
You should be able to measure at least 100 Linear Feet per
Minute (LFM) at the board if you want to operate at the
upper temperature limits. You can usually get this much air
by using a 35 CFM-rated fan.
Please review the following pages for more information
about the boards' requirements in particular and some
general cooling and fan information.
Complies with IEEE 1386-2001. Garnet and Duros also
comply with VITA-20.

The Topaz, Stratus, and Tropos boards are laid out to be
Conduction Cooled PMC (CCPMC) form factor
compatible. This is primarily intended to allow the boards
to be used in applications that might require a display board
for debugging purposes in system development.
The Garnet and Duros are ruggedized versions of Stratus
and Tropos and should be specified for real CCPMC
applications. The specifications are nearly identical, the
main differences being that that there is no 3.3V regulator
option on Garnet and Duros, and STANAG is supported on
Duros but not on Tropos. STANAG is supported on Topaz,
so there is a front panel, benign version available.
As mentioned elsewhere, the Topaz/Stratus/Garnet are
intended primarily for front panel use. However, most
features are accessible on the PMC Pn4 rear access and the
boards are available configured for this use.
If one were to choose rear panel I/O configuration, the
Topaz/Stratus/Garnet can be supplied with no front panel
connectors. In this case, only the connector grounds are still
connected to circuit ground. All other connections are open.
