MCH-1020

The Emerson Network Power MCH-1010/1020 modules, designed to be MicroTCA.0 R1.0 compliant, are high performance and stable solutions for system builders wanting to create a MicroTCA solution using best-in-class components. By definition, MicroTCA is a small size and flexible standards-based form factor that is being utilized in many diverse markets – telecom, defense and aerospace, medical and industrial – each with different packaging requirements. Emerson provides some application-ready MicroTCA system platforms, and some customers will use their in-house expertise to create custom solutions based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) building blocks like our MCH.

Emerson has great experience in building switch modules for alternative open standards systems like PICMG® 2.16 and AdvancedTCA®. By leveraging our previous technology and expertise, we have created two MCH variants. The standard module, the MCH-1010, provides management, telecom clock switching and layer 2 unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switching capability. The MCH-1020 variant includes an additional PCI Express fabric switch complete with narrow or spread spectrum clocking functionality for those applications that need local PCI Express connections.
