Project Description

Description:

IC-PQ3-VPX3a is a bundle created from Interface-Concept IC-PQ3-XMCa board and our VPX 3U XMC carrier to provide an OpenVPX Plug-In-Module capable of operating as a Payload, a Peripheral or a Bridge module.With its MPC8536E processor, the IC-PQ3-VPX3a offers a high level of performance per watt. This low energy budget is amplified by the power-saving modes of the advanced energy management of the processor.
