Page 5: General Information
I/O connections through the backplane. The VPX4812A supports up to four VPX Fat Pipe (x4) connections to other cards in the system at Gen 2.0 speeds. The VPX4812A can be used as a switch card allowing an upstream Fat Pipe or Double Fan Pipe connection –... -
Page 6: Introduction
The VPX4812A has two primary functions that can be utilized in a VPX system simultaneously. 1. XMC Carrier Card – The VPX4812A 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 VPX4812A. -
Page 7: Build Levels
The VPX4814A disconnects the lower four PCIe lanes on P1 while retaining all of the XMC carrier card functionality of the VPX4812A. 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 P1. -
