RapidIO™ fabric interfaces or two x4 PCI Express I/O interfaces. Furthermore, one NAND flash memory (SSD) with up to 64 GB can be integrated into the AM4150 via a SATA Flash module. The processor and the memory are soldered on the AM4150 which results in a robust design, higher Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and a significant improvement in cooling.
AM4150 Board-Specific Information Due to the outstanding features of the AM4150, such as superior processing power and flexible interconnect topologies, this AMC board provides a highly scalable solution not only for a wide range of telecom and data network applications, but also for several highly integrated industrial environment applications with solid mechanical interfacing.
