The new ARINC 404 5/8 size ATRs from Pixus features customised I/O options and various SOSA slot profile options, including RF and optical interfaces through the backplane. For chassis management, the ATR has the option of implementing Pixus’ SOSA aligned Tier 3 mezzanine-based solution that sits behind the backplane. This saves a slot of space while acting as a health monitor and control module for the system.
Additionally, Pixus offers an Ethernet Converter board that fits behind the I/O board for converting 10GBASE-KR to 10GBASE-T, again saving a slot of space. Various configurations of the chassis include a “top hat” or “bottom tub” design for extra space above or below the plug in cards for other devices, and so on.
Pixus provides OpenVPX backplane/chassis systems in commercial, development, and MIL rugged formats. The company also offers IEEE and Eurocard components for the embedded computer market.
