CompactPCI CPU market begins to evolve
A recent study of of SBCs and embedded CPU blades in embedded and real-time applications shows that native switch fabric access is becoming a necessity in CompactPCI SBC products.
The healthy growth of the mezzanine market is attributable to the new AMC form factor as well as the PMC form factor, whose new switch fabric-enabled architecture - XMC - is projected to experience rapid growth.
AMC cards are expected to see widespread use in communications on ATCA carrier boards as well as in MicroTCA systems used across a wide array of applications and vertical markets.
PMC, on the other hand, is expected to see its growth fueled by applications such as industrial, medical, and transportation as well as in military/aerospace applications where XMC will be heavily utilised in the future.
The most direct point of competition between the AMC and PMC architectures will occur in communications applications previously utilising PMC modules that may in the future shift over to AMC cards as ATCA carriers become more ubiquitous.
There will be added indirect competition as MicroTCA systems - which use AMCs similar to blades and plug directly into the MicroTCA chassis - threaten to replace larger slot card architectures that make use of PMC modules.
