This category covers 3U/6U OpenVPX (SOSA™-aligned) Switch Modules built on the AMD Versal™ Prime Series Gen 2 Adaptive SoC family.
While Versal Prime payload cards handle mission processing and heavy video/DSP workloads, Switch Profile modules serve as the central communication, network routing, and data plane management hub of a rugged VPX chassis. Leveraging Versal Prime Gen 2’s massive CPU performance and dense programmable logic without the power footprint of AI engines, these cards act as high-speed, intelligent layer 2/3 network switches and interconnect controllers.
Key Highlights
-
High-Scalar Performance Core: Up to 8x Arm® Cortex®-A78AE application cores and 10x Cortex®-R52 real-time cores running control plane routing protocols, management software, and security stacks.
-
Massive Switch Capacity: High-speed GTYP transceivers supporting 10G/25G/40G/100G Ethernet and PCIe Gen5 routing across the VPX backplane.
