VadaTech Rugged Conduction Cooled MicroTCA Ecosystem

VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, has released a complete ecosystem of boards and chassis in the MicroTCA architecture that is conduction-cooled. Designed for rugged applications, the products include Air Transport Racks (ATR), MicroTCA Carrier Hubs (MCH), Power Modules, and Advanced Mezzanine Cards.

Compliant to MicroTCA.3 (Hardened Conduction-Cooled MicroTCA) specification, the boards and chassis come in various sizes and formats. The MCH, which acts as a shelf controller, features a 400 MHz RISC CPU for high performance and low latency. Several of VadaTech’s Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) are in the conduction-cooled format. The company is also able to modify standard AMCs to ruggedized versions.

The VadaTech ATRs come in ½ and ¾ short sizes with long and tall versions also offered. Customized chassis and module solutions are available.

In addition to MicroTCA.3 conduction-cooled solutions, VadaTech offers the full range of MicroTCA processors, graphics/IO, carriers, JSMs, Power Modules, MCHs, NICs, storage, enclosures, and more in MicroTCA.0/.1/.2 air-cooled versions. The company also provides the full ecosystem of MicroTCA.4 (with Rear IO) for High-Energy Physics and other applications.
