The XPand1007 system is a development platform for conduction-cooled 3U VPX cards. It supports up to two 0.8 in. or 1.0 in. 3U VPX boards and utilizes RTMs to simplify I/O access and support rapid system prototyping. The XPand1007 can be configured as two I/O isolated slots, with all I/O from the payload passed to the RTM. Optionally, the XPand1007 can be configured with Dual Fat Pipe (DFP) J1 interconnects, with the remaining I/O from the payload passed to the RTM. Power and reset LEDs are provided for system status. Switches allow configuration for the included VITA 62 power supply, as well as reset and other I/O signals.
Power is provided via the included 3U VPX VITA 62 power supply. An included external XPm9001 power supply plugs into a standard 120 V wall outlet to produce 24 V DC to power the VITA 62 supply.
The XPand1007 dissipates heat from the conduction-cooled modules to sidewall heat exchangers, where it is quietly dissipated to the ambient environment by forced-air cooling.
The XPand1007 is currently available for purchase in several rapid-development standard configurations. Custom configurations of modules, RTMs, and backplanes are also available utilizing X-ES and third-party components.
