  • Page 6: General Information

    The VPX4812 supports up to four VPX Fat Pipe (x4) connections to other cards in the system at Gen 2.0 speeds. The VPX4812 can be used as a switch card allowing an upstream Fat Pipe or Double Fan Pipe connection –...
  • Page 7: Introduction

    The VPX4812 has two primary functions that can be utilized in a VPX system simultaneously. 1. XMC Carrier Card – The VPX4812 supports a Double Fat Pipe (x8) connection from an XMC module to the on-board PCIe switch. The voltage used to power the XMC module can be toggled between 5V or 12V using a DIP switch located on the VPX4812.
  • Page 8: Build Levels

    The VPX4814 disconnects the lower PCIe lanes on P1 while retaining all of the XMC carrier card functionality of the VPX4812. This allows it to be used as an XMC carrier card in a wider range of OpenVPX backplane profiles including profiles that contain Ethernet control plane interfaces on...

    Front Panel Layout VPX4812 Front Panel On the front panel of air-cooled VPX4812 assemblies, there are 5 port status LED’s. The first four LED’s indicate the PCIe link status for each of the four Fat Pipe connections to other slots on the VPX backplane.
  • Page 19: Handling

    VPX4812/4814 User’s Manual Single-Slot 3U VPX Bus XMC Carrier Card/Switch Card Module Handling Modules should be handled in ESD-safe work areas in order to prevent damage to sensitive components from electrostatic discharges. These areas must be designed and maintained to prevent ESD damage.
  • Page 20: Installation

    Single-Slot 3U VPX Bus XMC Carrier Card/Switch Card Module Installation IMPORTANT: The VPX4812 has been specifically design for use with 3U VPX backplanes and my not be compatible with some 6U backplanes. Plugging the board into an unsupported 6U VPX backplane may cause permanent damage.
  • Page 21: 10.0 Specifications

    VPX4812-LF and VPX4814-LF front panel is 1.0” based on VITA 48.1. Please contact factory for IEEE 1101.10 1.0” and 0.8” front panel options. Power Requirements The VPX4812 requires +3.3V and +5V from the VPX backplane. The +/-12V supplies are used only if required by the XMC module. Power Consumption No XMC Card Installed: +3.3V: <1W...
  • Page 22: Auxiliary Supply

    Since the ramp up times of the 3.3 V and 5 V system power source and the onboard power source will vary with load, the time taken for the VPX4812 to come out of reset will vary from system to system. It is the software’s responsibility to account for this.
  • Page 23: Environmental

    Environmental Caution The VPX4812 requires air-flow of at least 200 linear-feet/minute for the air cooled version, plus what is required for an XMC device installed on this module. If the conduction cooled version is operating on an extender card, it requires air-flow of at least 300 linear-feet/minute across it.
  • Page 24: Emi/Emc Regulatory Compliance

    RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU – All Models In compliance per EN 50581 Air-cooled build levels of the VPX4812/14 are designed for use in systems meeting VDE class B, EN and FCC regulations for EMC emissions and susceptibility.

    TRANS-V112 The TRANS-V112 is the rear transition module for the VPX4812 and is used in backplanes that bring out the rear I/O signals from the VPX4812. If you are using a custom backplane, you will not need the RTM. The TRANS-V112 brings out the P16 rear I/O signals from the XMC slot on the VPX4812.
