MicroTCA Blades & Modules (MTCA.0)
NAT-MCHFull-size base MCH module for MicroTCA shelves
- Manufacturer
- Configurations
- 3 available configurations
The MCH is the module that turns a set of AMC boards into a MicroTCA system: it gathers slot handling, coordinates module power-up and routes traffic on the backplane. NAT-MCH plays this role in the base configuration, in full height format.
On the front panel diagnostics are immediate: the indicators report the state of the AMC modules, of the cooling units and of the power modules, so that a fault can be located without connecting a terminal. The board states support for the AMC.0, AMC.1, AMC.2 and AMC.4 profiles.
