VadaTech Announces New 1U MTCA Chassis with 6 AMC Slots,10/40GbE, Dual PSU

Henderson, NV – March 1, 2019 – VadaTech, a leading manufacturer of integrated systems, embedded boards, enabling software and application-ready platforms, announces the VT954. The VT954 is a rugged 1U chassis used in Mil/Aero or other applications that need to withstand shock/vibration. The lightweight aluminum chassis construction provides 6 single module mid-size AMC slots. For front panel retention, there is a single MicroTCA.1 screw on the opposite side of the ejector handle on each module slot. The chassis offers dual redundant PSUs, hot-swappable from the rear of the chassis. In addition, the VT954 is designed to meet Vibration specification MIL-STD-167-1A (Type 1) and Shock Class I, as defined by MIL-S-901D.

The chassis comes equipped with provisions for rails for rackmount environments. The front-to-rear cooling of the chassis utilizes the VadaTech 3rd generation MCH (UTC004 product) for its shelf manager, crossbar clocking for low jitter, GPS/IEEE1588/SyncE/NTP, etc. The VT954 has dual 10/40GbE as well as dual GbE to each slot. There are also dual QSFP+ to the front panel. The VT954 backplane provides direct connection between adjacent AMC slots on ports 2-3 and on ports 12-20.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
