Vadatech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and chassis platforms, has announced its first application-ready platform (ARP). The ARP is a pre-configured system platform that is suited for Mil/Aero applications requiring front-end deterministic processing and high data rates.

The ARP200 Application-Ready Platform for Mil-sensor processing utilizes 5 AMC515 FPGAs, 1 AMC713 Freescale™ PowerPC P5020 processsor, 1 MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) and 1 power module. Many of these applications require a highly connected FPGA cluster for multi-core signal conditioning and pre-processing from multiple sensor inputs. VadaTech offers a Virtex-7 FPGA as a default, but has standard options for Kintex, Artix, and Zynq chipsets based on the desired price/performance of the system. Similarly, the ARP200 has a standard PowerPC P5020 Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) processor, but offers Intel® and Cavium™-based processors as options.

Utilizing a 7U Cube MicroTCA format, the dimensions of the ARP200 are approximately 12.25” Tall x 5” wide x 9” deep. The chassis has redundant push-pull cooling in a front-to-rear airflow configuration. The 6-slot ARP also includes a standard Telco alarm and JTAG Switch Module (JSM) for testing/development.

VadaTech offers the full ecosystem of MicroTCA-based modules including processors, MCHs, power modules, chassis, FPGA, graphics, network, I/O, and storage modules in the MicroTCA/AMC form factor. The company also provides ruggedized MicroTCA.2 and .3 products used in extreme environments.
