TEWS Technology, the Pinneberg, Germany-based embedded computing supplier, announced the release of its first QMC modules, and the TPCE210 dual-site carrier card, fully compliant with the emerging VITA 93 - QMC Mezzanine Card standard.

The new VITA 93 – QMC standard solves many problems in current mezzanine I/O card standards through its innovative QMC architecture, enabling unprecedented modularity, flexibility, and scalability while maintaining backward compatibility and rugged reliability. VITA 93 – QMC builds on lessons learned from previous standards, blending their best features with new capabilities for the future.

VITA 93 – QMC modules, more compact and powerful than previous standards, offer a single design for air- and conduction-cooled systems, PCIe Gen6 up to x16, IPMI system management, and high-density I/O. Their versatility makes them ideal for a wide range of applications in industrial automation, transportation, testing, medical, and many others with demanding requirements.

The initial launch from TEWS includes six single-sized QMC modules for various functionalities:

TQMC400: 4 Channel Full-Modem RS232/RS422/RS485 Programmable Serial Interface
TQMC401: 4 Channel High Speed Sync/Async Serial Interface
TQMC600: Reconfigurable FPGA with Digital I/O
TQMC700: Reconfigurable FPGA with AD/DA & Digital I/O
TQMC701: 8 Single-Ended / Differential A/D Channels, 4 D/A Channels and 16 Digital I/O Channels
TQMC800: 1 Channel 1000BASE-T Ethernet
All QMC modules are available in both air-cooled

“The VITA 93 form factor redefines modular embedded computing. Our new QMC family and TPCE210 carrier empower engineers to build rugged systems that don’t compromise on performance or versatility,” said Jan Zimmermann, General Manager, TEWS Technologies GmbH.

TEWS plans on introducing more QMC modules and carriers in the coming months based on customer feedback and reception to the new modules.
