This category covers 3U OpenVPX / SOSA™-aligned Switch Modules built on the high-density Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC EG family (specifically matching SOSA switch slot profiles such as SLT3-SWH-4F1U7U1J-14.8.7).
While payload profile cards handle direct sensor processing and payload compute, these Switch Profile boards act as the central communication, routing, and management backbone of a VPX chassis. Leveraging up to 48 high-speed transceivers (32 GTH + 16 GTY), they route data across the Data, Control, and Expansion planes of the VPX backplane at speeds up to 100G.
Key Highlights
-
Hybrid Switch Architecture: Serves as a combined Ethernet and PCIe switch, routing high-throughput payload data via 10G/25G/40G/100G Ethernet or PCIe Gen3/Gen4.
-
Backplane Plane Management: High-density routing across the Data Plane (GTH/GTY transceivers), Control Plane (1G/10G Ethernet), and Optical Expansion (MT Ferrule / FireFly™ connections).
-
Custom Intelligent Switching Logic: Utilizing ~1.1M FPGA logic cells alongside the ARM Cortex-A53/R5 cores allows for non-blocking, custom Packet Inspection, Security Filtering, TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking), and Precision Timing (PTP / IEEE 1588).
-
System Health & Management: Onboard IPMI / VITA 46.11 system management functionality for real-time chassis monitoring, boot sequencing, and thermal control.
