Introduction

The C112 is the new generation Aitech PowerPC based product targeting the new VPX (VITA 46.0) and OpenVPX (VITA 65) platforms.

At the heart of the C112 is a Freescale T4 Series QorIQ System-on-Chip (SoC) multi-core, multi-thread processor, with on-chip high-speed L1 and L2 caches, and numerous integrated bus, memory, and I/O controllers.

C112 memory resources include large and fast DDR3 SDRAM, NOR Flash for firmware, user application, and data storage, MRAM for user/application specific parameter storage, and a high-density NAND Flash array for mass storage.

Integrated onboard I/O resources include Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 ports, MIL-STD-1553, SATA II, serial ports, and general-purpose discrete I/O channels.

To complement its extensive capabilities and provide extended resources and flexibility, the C112 is equipped with two industry standard PMC/XMC slots.

The C112 mechanical and electrical design guarantees its operation over the full range of rugged application environments. It is available in industry standard 0.85" pitch conduction-cooled or 1" pitch air-cooled form factors. The conduction-cooled version is also available in a VITA 48 (VPX REDI) compliant version with 1" pitch, supporting two-level maintenance requirements.
