3U Compact PCI conduction-cooled turnkey subsystems

Our modular embedded computers are 3U cPCI rugged COTS subsystems designed to meet requirements of cost effective solution, low-power dissipation, compact dimension, conduction-cooled enclosure and come as a turnkey subsystem with preloaded real-time software.

Modular embedded computers are targeting markets where high efficiency and reliability are necessary in harsh environments, especially in avionics, vetronics and navtronics applications. The MEC-PPC-AV1 is the first member of the PowerPC modular embedded computers series.

The MEC-PPC-AV1 is targeted towards the avionics market because of its ATR footprint dimensions, 28 VDC power supply, lightweight structure in aluminium, conduction cooled dissipation, MIL-STD-1553 links, MIL-C-38999 connectors and a very low power consumption of less than 17W.
