X-ES Ships XMC With Mini PCIe and mSATA Support

Extreme Engineering Solutions, Inc. (X-ES) announced the XPort5005, an XMC module that can be quickly configured to support a platform’s specific I/O or storage needs.

The XPort5005 allows system integrators to reduce the total cost, complexity, and time to market for supporting the varying I/O and storage requirements of different platforms by enabling support for CAN bus, GPS, IEEE 1394 (FireWire), MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, SSDs (SSD), AES-256 encryption, GPIO, WLAN (Wi-Fi), WiMax, Cellular (4G/LTE and 3G), RS-232, Bluetooth, and more.

XMC leverages the widely supported Mini PCIe I/O and mSATA storage module markets, the XPort5005 offers a solution for meeting current and future platform requirements. The small size of Mini PCIe and mSATA modules allows the XPort5005 to support up to two full height (F2/H1) and one half-height (H1) module within a single XMC.

The XPort5005 supports operational temperatures from -40C to +85C for conduction cooled applications and -40C to +70C for forced air cooled applications. The design also provides for robust mounting of its Mini PCIe modules, supporting the XPort5005’s use within platforms with demanding of environmental requirements, including vehicle transportation, rail transportation, military, and aerospace applications.

The XPort5005’s compact XMC form factor enables access to Mini PCIe and mSATA modules for the other form factors that host XMC sites. These include 3U VPX and 3U CompactPCI modules like X-ES’s XPedite7470, XChange3000, and XPedite5530 which can support a single XPort5005. Additionally, up to two XPort5005s can be added to 6U VPX, 6U VME, and 6U CompactPCI modules such as X-ES’s XCalibur4440, XCalibur1730, and XCalibur1600. The XPort5005 can also be supported within Small Form Factor (SFF) and Embedded Box Computer systems that include XMC sites, such as X-ES’s XPand6000 Series.
