VITA 57.1 FMC Connector Standard Products and Support

VITA 57.1 FMC Connector Standard Products and Support

FAMILY OVERVIEW

The FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) was developed and ratified by a consortium of FPGA vendors and end-user members of the VITA 57 working group. FMC and FMC+ are ANSI Standards which define a compact electro-mechanical expansion interface for a daughter card to an FPGA baseboard or other device with re-configurable I/O capability.

The FMC Standard is essential for FPGA vendors making baseboards and comprehensive development kits to enable Designers to accelerate their application development. FMC products are continually introduced by Supplier companies for targeted market specific applications in industries such as Datacom, Broadcast, Aerospace/Defense, Industrial and Instrumentation.

VITA 57.1 JSOM

Some FPGA mezzanine cards may present a challenge to unmate from their host. To aid in separation, Samtec has developed the JSOM (Micro Jack Screw Standoff). They act as a traditional standoff when collapsed. An Allen-key unscrews and expands the jack screw, dividing the PCBs in a steady, even motion until the mezzanine is safely separated from its host. The JSOM standoff family includes M2.5, M3, and #4-40 hardware available in 8.5 mm and 10 mm stack heights.

Intel® HSMC

The Intel® HSMC defines electrical and mechanical properties of a high speed mezzanine card interface. This specification standardizes the way in which mezzanine cards communicate and connect to host boards. By taking advantage of the high-performance I/O features found in today’s FPGA devices, manufacturers can build a single mezzanine card that will then interface to multiple host boards.

Similarly, they can build a host board that can leverage many different, pre-built, mezzanine cards. The HSMC connectors defined by the specification are based on the 0.50 mm pitch Q Strip® QSH/QTH products high speed board-to-board connectors from Samtec. The Samtec interconnect for the mezzanine card is ASP-122952-01. See the complete HSMC Specification from Intel® for further information and recommendations for running both high-frequency and low speed interface signals within the various “banks."

Custom HDR cable assemblies for HSMC are available in various lengths with a variety of terminal/socket end options and orientations.
