1.5.2 : IO Modules
Rigel Engineering’s VP3500 may host any combination of PMC and XMC cards. Each PMC/XMC has a pluggable
IO module that route either XMC or PMC single-ended IO signals to the VPX backplane per VITA specification 46.9.
These modules are ordered separately and should be installed on the VP3500 conduction-cooled models at the
factory as these modules are seated under the conduction-cooled heat frame. Air-cooled models may be installed
by the customer.
Rigel Engineering also offers custom-designed IO modules for customer-specific routing requirements. Please
contact Rigel Engineering for ordering and additional information on obtaining custom IO modules.
The standard IO modules offered are for PMC and XMC VITA 46.9 applications.
