Open-standard form factor module solves the problem of connecting real-time embedded systems to extreme high-speed Ethernet networks.
Compact and fast dual gigabit Ethernet
Advantech, industrial computer manufacturer and automation innovator, releases its PICMG-3.1-compliant PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC), the MIC-3665.
To accommodate large line-rate bursts of incoming sensor data, the V1120 can buffer up to 115,000 jumbo-frame Ethernet packets in its onboard SDRAM.
Additional interface signals are provided to facilitate precise time synchronisation and other application-specific functionality that requires deterministic, low latency access to the packets.
With unmatched flexibility and performance, the V1120 facilitates stable, rapid deployment of 10GbE technology into high-performance, real-time, sensor data flow applications such as signals intelligence, radar and high-speed record/playback.

Advantech has launched the IPC-7220 industrial computer chassis, the next-generation wall-mountable industrial node solution with high capacity for ATX motherboards.
Boasting two 10GbE interfaces in a conduction-cooled package, the V1120 is designed for an extended temperature range of -40 to 85C.
"Over the past year, customers have been asking for a conduction-cooled version of our technology to provide dependable 10GbE connectivity for systems operating in harsh environments with excessive heat and no air cooling", says Rob Kraft, AdvancedIO Systems' VP of Marketing.
"Our customers need the standard interconnect advantages of 10GbE, but it's the advantages that our offload and streaming technology bring to real-time 10GbE that make the difference for their high-performance applications".
V1100 is a family of rugged open-standard form factor modules connecting real-time embedded systems to each other or to extremely high-speed Ethernet networks.
Following the widely used VITA 42.3 XMC mezzanine module format, V1100 integrates with standard off-the-shelf platforms, such as VXS and VPX blades, providing system developers with multiple platform options.
The V1100 family supports AdvancedIO's udpXG protocol offload and streamXG data streaming acceleration cores and software, specifically designed for real-time applications.
For easy integration and future software portability, AdvancedIO's V1100 supports a standard sockets-based software API.
With two 10GbE interfaces, the V1120 meets the needs of systems that cannot tolerate front-panel connections.
The V1120 routes the 10GbE interfaces through Pn6, the standard secondary XMC connector.
When the V1120 is placed on a host carrier card with an XMC site, the carrier routes the high-speed signals from Pn6 to the backplane.
The V1120 uses PCI Express running over the primary XMC connector, Pn5, to provide a high-bandwidth interface to the host CPU.
Upcoming members of the V1100 family will address different rugged requirements and options.
The first member of the V1100 family, the V1120, will be available Q4 2008.
