GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VP-AM429 is a mezzanine module for avionics communication suitable to hosted on the VP-2101 3U OPEN VPX Module. It is designed for the most demanding applications, it allows communications over the ARINC429 standard offering at the same time a flexible general purpose I/O interface. DO-254 certification package and manufacturing data package are also available on customer demand.
The VP2101 3U OPENVPX Module can be used in several application mainly due its modularity. The basic module hosts a System On Chip FPGA with an embedded dual core ARM cortex A9 processor. The expansion modules are directly connected tot he SOC via parallel interfaces and high speed serial link, the expansion modules are also directly connected to the module functional connector.
The main applications reside in the avionic market where the OpenVpx standard is widely used, possible usages in the industrial & railroad sectors are also possible depending on the used system bus. Several customizations can be implemented via the expansion modules, ranging from avionics communication (1553, AFDX, ARINC429), graphical adaption and video processing, signal acquisition, signal processing, audio application.
