TVPX210 3U VPX Carrier with 3 QMC Sites

The TVPX210-10R from TEWS Technologies is a 3U OpenVPX carrier board featuring three VITA 93 QMC sites, designed in alignment with the SOSA Technical Standard for defense and aerospace applications. This modular carrier provides PCIe Gen3 x4 connectivity to each QMC site through a non-blocking PCIe Gen3 switch, enabling deterministic high-speed communication. The board implements the SLT3-PAY-2U2U-14.2.17 payload slot profile and includes a VITA 46.11 compliant management controller for health monitoring and inventory management. With conduction cooling per ANSI/VITA 48.2 and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it is ideal for rugged military platforms.

Overview

The TVPX210-10R from TEWS Technologies is a high-performance 3U OpenVPX carrier board engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern defense and aerospace systems. Designed in alignment with the SOSA Technical Standard version 2.0, this carrier enables system designers to rapidly integrate modular I/O subsystems using commercially available QMC modules while maintaining architectural consistency across platforms. The board features three VITA 93 QMC sites that can accommodate various configurations including up to three single-width modules, a double-width module paired with a single-width module, or a single triple-width module, providing exceptional flexibility for application-specific requirements. At the heart of the TVPX210-10R is a non-blocking PCI Express Gen3 switch that delivers deterministic high-speed communication between the VPX backplane and installed QMC modules, with each QMC site receiving a dedicated PCIe Gen3 x4 link while connecting to the backplane via PCIe Gen3 x2. All five IOPIPES from each QMC module are accessible through the VPX P1 and P2 connectors for comprehensive rear I/O connectivity. The integrated VITA 46.11 Tier 3 compliant management controller supports IPMI 2.0 for health monitoring, inventory management, and communication with the VPX System Manager, simplifying system integration and ongoing maintenance. Built with conduction cooling according to ANSI/VITA 48.2, the carrier operates reliably across an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for harsh military environments. The modular approach reduces development effort, simplifies technology upgrades, and supports the long platform lifecycles required by defense programs.
