TM100-12-00 Aitech Defense Systems Transition Module for the C100 VME SBC

The Aitech Defense Systems TM100 Series Transition Module for the C100 VME SBC provides standard direct connection to all the C10x I/O interfaces and is intended for use in commercial air-cooled chassis. The TM100 eliminates the need for any harnessing and complex cabling fixtures in order to connect to the C10x.

The TM100 transition module fully complies with the IEEE 1101.11 specification and supports subracks capable of front and rear plug-in units as well as subracks capable of front plug-in units only.

The same module with different assembly options is used as the rear I/O adapter connecting to the C10x rear I/O at the backplane as well as the transition module providing all I/O connectors at the front/rear panel.

I/O connectors include: a Gigabit Ethernet port, two Fast Ethernet ports, two IEEE1394a (FireWire) ports, two USB ports, two dual redundant MIL-STD-1553B ports, eight serial I/O ports (four ports only in the single slot version) and 16 single-ended / 8 differential Discrete I/O channels.

In addition, the transition module provides a header for each of the PMC sites of the C10x allowing attachment of cables to the PMC I/O.

Two slot size options are manufactured for the transition module - single slot and double slot. The double slot transition module provides all C10x I/O interfaces while the single slot transition module provides all C10x I/Os with the exception of four serial ports.

The transition module also provides jumpers to allow I/O routing for the C10x shared I/O pins as well as interface type customization for serial I/O interfaces.
