Compliant to MicroTCA.0 specification, the MicroSlim is designed to offer the performance benefits of MicroTCA within a space-saving 1U high platform. Optimizing the available space (up to 10, mid-sized, single-width modules) the MicroSlim Classic holds 6 x AMC modules while providing MCH and J-TAG Switch Module (JSM) capability. Powered by a robust 380 watt PSU, the MicroSlim box converts 48VDC efficiently to the 3.3V and 12V’s needed to power the modules.

Cooling is a critical element in MicroTCA solutions. The MicroSlim’s side to side airflow configuration based on redundant plug in Cooling Units (CUs) provides the lowest static pressure possible. This preferred airflow layout combined with 8 x 20CFM @ 1.5” H2O fans provides a total of 96CFM @ .75” H2O of cooling capacity. To insure proper performance the unit has separately removable and managed air filters. The result is the MicroSlim has tremendous thermal performance dissipating 36W per module ensuring that even the densest AMC’s are properly cooled. (More)
