EK4-WALTZ

The SK4-WALTZ is a peripheral slot board for CompactPCI® Express and PXI Express™ systems and acts as carrier card for an XMC-style mezzanine module. XMC modules are specified by ANSI/VITA 42, as an advanced replacement for PMC modules. While using a similar form factor as PMC cards, XMC modules are provided with a PCI Express® interface. The EK4-WALTZ can be used together with 74x149mm2 full length and 74x139mm2 short length XMC mezzanine cards. The EK4-WALTZ is equipped with a bidirectional 8-lane PCI Express® Gen3 redriver, for optimum high speed signal integrity, and must be installed into a suitable peripheral slot e.g. Type 1 or Type 2 of a CompactPCI® Express (PXI Express™) backplane. The XJ3 connector supports any PCIe link configuration up to x8. In addition, the optional XP1 power connector can be used to supply high current consuming XMC modules (requires Type 1 CompactPCI® Express slot).
