Introduction:
The V3PD is a high performance Single Board Computer (SBC) based on the 3U OpenVPX™ (VITA 65) form factor. Offered in both convection cooled and ruggedized conduction cooled variants, the V3PD will meet the needs of numerous commercial and military applications requiring maximum processing power, low power consumption, and small physical footprint.

 

At the heart of the V3PD is an Intel ® Core™ I7 Arrandale Processor and Ibex Peak QM57 Platform Controller Hub (PCH). These two devices form the central processing backbone of the design. With a dual-channel memory controller integrated in the processor, the V3PD supports up to 8 GBytes of DDR3 SDRAM running at up to 1066 MHz. The processor utilizes its x8 PCI Express (PCIe) port to connect to an Intel ® 82599 Niantic EB82599 Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller providing 10GBASE-BX4 backplane Data Plane fabric connectivity.

 

The QM57 PCH supports the following interfaces: PCI Express; PCI; Serial ATA (SATA); Universal Serial Bus; DVI; VGA; SMBus; and, General Purpose I/O. One x4 PCIe port is connected to the XMC Site supporting VITA 42.3. The second x4 PCIe port is attached to an Intel ® 82580V Dual Gigabit Ethernet Controller for 1000Base-BX backplane control plane connectivity. A 32-Bit 33MHz PCI bus is connected to the PMC site. Four SATA ports and six USB ports are connected to the backplane. HDMI/DVI and VGA interfaces provide graphics capability via RTM connections. Additional backplane I/O from the PCH include 8 GPIO lines and one SMBus. Finally, one SATA port is connected to an SM2240 Flash Controller to support 16GBytes of solid state storage, and a 32Mbit SPI PROM provides 8MBytes of in-circuit programmable boot code.

The V3PD adheres to the OpenVPX™ standard for a 3U Payload Module Profile designated as MOD3-PAY-2F1F2U-16.2.1-5. Data and Control planes are sourced by the 82599 and 28580 on the V3PD. The expansion plane is sourced from the XMC Site and can support a wide variety of fabric interconnects.
