Curtiss-Wright Introduces T2080 Quad-Core Power Architecture® 3U OpenVPXâ„¢ Single Board Computer
Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions, a business unit of Curtiss-Wright Controls, has introduced the new VPX3-133, a rugged 3U OpenVPXâ„¢ single board computer (SBC) featuring Freescaleâ„¢'s quad-core QorIQâ„¢ T2080 Power Architecture® processor. The VPX3-133 combines the performance and the advanced I/O capabilities of Freescale's QorIQâ„¢ Quad core AltiVecâ„¢-equipped 64-bit processor with an extensive set of I/O that provides an extremely powerful processing solution for SWaP-constrained environments. It delivers a high level of computing functionality in the small 3U standard form factor with low power (37 Watts) while providing industry leading I/O flexibility.
The rugged VPX3-133 is available in either air-cooled or conduction-cooled variants. Its integral high-speed backplane fabrics and XMC mezzanine module connectivity support multi-GB/s data flows from board-to-board, both through the VPX3-133's backplane interface and from the backplane to its XMC site. The board is designed to deliver the high bandwidth processing needed to handle the acquisition, processing, and distribution of sensor data required by demanding defense and aerospace applications such as video, radar, and sonar. The VPX3-133 is equally well suited for use as a mission computer, display computer, or in SIGINT and motor control applications.
