The VTM2 is an industry standard 6U form factor, dual PMC carrier. The VTM2 enables communication between a VME chassis and up to two industry standard (IEEE 1386.1) PMC modules. The VTM2 can be deployed in a wide range of applications - for example telecommunications, medical imaging and industrial automation. PMC’s deliver the flexibility of PCI add-in cards to embedded systems designers, in a more rugged and compact form factor. PMC’s are available from Varisys as well as many other third party vendors and offer a variety of I/O, FPGA, general purpose processing and DSP functions.

The VTM2 uses a Tundra Tsi148 to connect the VMEbus to the on-board PCI bus supporting the latest protocols, including 2eSST and 2eVME transfers, as well as VME64 extensions. Legacy protocol support ensures interoperability with older systems and devices.

The on-board PCI bus connects the Tsi148 to the two PMC sites, and supports a full range of operating modes from regular 32 bit PCI at 33MHz right up to 64 bit PCI/X at 100MHz.Inter PMC site data communication and routing of user I/O to P0 are both options that can be specified at the time of ordering
