This category covers 3U OpenVPX / SOSA™-aligned Switch Modules built on Gen 1 AMD Versal™ Adaptive SoCs (specifically conforming to VITA 65 switch profiles such as SLT3-SWH-4F1U7U1J-14.8.7).
While payload profile cards handle direct sensor processing and payload compute, Switch Profile cards serve as the high-throughput interconnect, network routing, and data plane management hub of a rugged VPX chassis. Leveraging Versal’s Programmable Network-on-Chip (NoC), integrated processing engines, and high-speed transceivers, these boards act as intelligent Layer 2/3 network switches and data routers.
Key Highlights
-
Heterogeneous Core Switch Engine: Powered by Dual-Core Arm® Cortex®-A72 (Application Processor) and Dual-Core Cortex®-R5F (Real-Time Processor) to handle network management OS, routing tables, and system control.
-
Intelligent Data Routing:
-
AI Edge Variants: Utilize integrated AI Engine-ML (AIE-ML) tiles to perform real-time, line-rate packet analytics, anomaly detection, and electronic signal classification directly on data streams.
-
Prime Variants: Utilize high-density DSP58 engines and programmable logic for ultra-low latency packet filtering, traffic shaping, and high-throughput switching .
-
-
High-Bandwidth Interconnects: Backplane GTY transceivers supporting 10G / 40G / 100G Ethernet, PCIe Gen4 routing, and VITA 66.5 optical apertures (MT Ferrule ).
-
System Management & Health: Integrated VITA 46.11 / SOSA Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) for remote chassis monitoring, power rail control, and reset sequencing.
