About AdvancedMC Products

AdvancedMC products are computer boards that use the advanced mezzanine card (AMC) specification from the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PCIMG), a consortium of companies who develop open specifications for telecommunications and industrial computing applications. AdvancedMC products are hot-swappable so that technicians can replace mezzanine cards without powering down the entire system. Important specifications for AdvancedMC products include width, height, and number of channels. Single-width modules are 74 mm wide. Double-width modules are 149 mm wide. Carrier cards that use advanced technology attachment (ATA) or integrated drive electronics (IDE) can accommodate up to four single-width modules, but only two double-width modules. Half-height products are half the height of carrier cards that use advanced telecommunications computing architecture (AdvancedTCA®), a registered trademark of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group. Half-height modules can be stacked so that two AdvancedMC products fit one AdvancedTCA card. Full-height modules are the same height as AdvancedTCA carrier cards. Extended full-height AdvancedMC products are designed to accommodate the dual rows of small form factor pluggable (SFP) and RJ-45 connectors.


Products & Services Related to AdvancedMC Products

Bus Adapters
Bus adapters connect peripherals to computers that do not provide native support for a peripheral's interface. Some bus adapters are housed in cables that connect one bus to another. Others are board-level cards, blades, or stand-alone units with interfaces and power supplies.
Bus Expanders
Bus expanders are computer boards or cable systems that connect to other interface boards, using only one I/O slot while remaining compliant with the bus standard.
Bus Extenders
Bus extenders are used to increase cable lengths for distance-limited bus protocols.
CompactPCI and PXI Bus Interfaces
Compact PCI bus interfaces and PXI bus interfaces allow the CompactPCI / PXI system to communicate with other devices or systems.
CompactPCI and PXI Products
CompactPCI and PXI products are a general search form that covers peripherals that use the CompactPCI (cPCI) and PXI bus standards. CompactPCI and PXI products include switches, extenders, controllers, processors and interface adapters. More detailed search forms are available for specific areas.
CompactPCI Controllers and CompactPCI Processors
CompactPCI controllers and CompactPCI processors are rugged, high-speed computer boards and single board computers that control data transfers between devices in CompactPCI and PXI networks. These devices also control the status of interrupts, interrupt requests (IRQs), registers, and triggers as well as network instruments for testing and analysis.
CompactPCI Extenders and PXI Extenders
CompactPCI extenders and PXI extenders are computer boards that are used to improve or extend the functions of CompactPCI and PXI systems.
CompactPCI Switches and PXI Switches
CompactPCI switches and PXI switches are used in industrial systems to connect test points or devices to instruments for the purpose of testing, measuring or monitoring the system.
PCI Express Products
PCI Express products (PCIe products) use a computer protocol and interface format which communicates more quickly than peripheral component interconnect (PCI), a standard which PCIe is designed to replace.
PCI Products
PCI products are devices that use the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus standard. PCI products include bridges, extenders, and power supplies. They also include bus interface, adapter, memory, mass storage, networking, and serial communications modules.
