Elma's extender card meets AMC, MicroTCA specs
-- Test & Measurement World, 3/13/2008 6:01:00 AM
The NAMC-EXT extender board from Elma Electronic extends the signals out of a MicroTCA card cage area so that an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) can be tested or debugged.
The passive AMC extender module supports all fabric connectors as defined in AMC.X and MicroTCA specifications, extending all of the fabric signals and three clock lines with virtually zero power consumption. The board complies with MicroTCA.0, AMC.1 R1.0, AMC.2 D0.96A specifications and plugs into an AMC slot like a regular AMC module. The metal frame of the NAMC-EXT extender card holds the board-under-test securely in place. It provides access to the track of payload power and management power voltage, allowing you to easily check the voltages and to measure the power consumption of the AMC under test. Test points on both the soldering and assembly side of the AMC are accessible.
The AMC extender board has an operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. Overall length, including the guide rail at the front, is 30.8 cm. Maximum width is 8.55 cm.
