The topology of the backplane has been specifically designed for testing AdvancedMC modules, with CLK, JTAG, data and management lines accessible to external measuring equipment via connectors on the rear of the backplane.
In addition, the backplane incorporates power management for the AdvancedMC slots, automatically setting the four ‘Enable’ inputs on power-up. Individual slots can also be controlled independently by switches on the front panel.
Each AdvancedMC slot measures 12HP in width to allow side access to installed modules, and the top cover of the case and upper guide rails can easily be removed to accommodate
double-size AdvancedMC modules, if required.
