The VadaTech UTC006 is a double module, MTCA.4 format, MCH with front-panel fabric expansion and RTM support (PCIe optiononly). Fabric options include PCIe Gen3, 10/40GbE, Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA, Cross Bar Switch (CBS), and SRIO.
The MCMC manages the Power Modules, Cooling Units, and upto 12 AMCs within the chassis. It also manages the fabric switch as well as the standard GbE with 10GbE uplink Base Channel switch. The Ethernet switch is managed with an enterprise grade Layer 3 switching/routing stack and they support Synchronous Ethernet.
The firmware in the UTC006 is HPM.2 compliant which allows for easy upgrades. It provides Master JTAG services to the AMCs via the JSM, with an option for virtual JTAG capability. The MCH has advanced clocking features including grand master clock and high quality clock distribution/synthesis.
