Cots Boards
Built in strict adherence to open architecture standards, Data Patterns designs COTS module products which are used in today's rugged applications and automatic test equipment platforms. Open standard form factors include cPCI, FMC & XMC, IP, MM, PCI, PCMCIA, PMC, VME, VPX and VXI.A portfolio of 'Off the Shelf ' products for testing and on-board applications have been developed by Data Patterns. COTS boards developed have been sold to many customers, in India as well as Europe and North America. They are used for system level products such as Automatic Test Equipment, Rugged Military Electronics, etc.Data Patterns focus on building COTS product is to provide the technological capability to develop system level products with very fast run around times. Use of Data Patterns' COTS module in system level products ensures Data Patterns ability to maintain the products for a significantly longer life cycle. The proximity to the system level engineering team with the COTS development team ensures that end applications are delivered faster, enabling a shorter time to market for the customers

VPX
-
The VPX standard defined by ANSI/VITA 46.0 is a modern derivative of the older VME standards that is primarily targeted at defence applications, leveraging latest technologies in high speed electronics in order to provide higher performance computing, improved ruggedisation and thermal management capability, higher I/O densities and improved maintainability due to better immunity to ESD. Data Patterns has designed and manufactured a broad range of VPX products required for high end Radar / Electronic Warfare / Image Processing and Sonar applications.

FMC, XMC & PMC
-
The FPGA Mezzanine Card is used by Data Patterns to implement signal interface with external world compatible FPGAs mounted on the FMC carrier there are primarily used for high speed analog interface for digitization (ADCs) and waveform generation (DACs). This form factor is also utilized for special I/O Interfaces such as various avionic protocols and buses. FMC I/O signals may be routed via front panel connectors or through Mezzanine connectors that route the signal back to the carrier board for routing through rear I/O of the Chassis. The system interface is designed for routing to FPGAs using a VITA 57 0.05 Pitch Terminal Array Assembly.

CPCI
-
Modules in compact PCI from Data Patterns are available for Data Acquisition and Control, Simulation, Communication Automatic test equipment, Rugged systems, Fail-safe systems, Computer controlled logic controls, Plant automation and similar requirements. Other I/O functions available from our IP and Mezzanine Module families can be directly integrated into our cPCI systems.Data Patterns has also pioneered cPCI derivatives such as 9U High Voltage systems, Multiple backplane support with Hot Standby Switchover capabilities. Continuous innovation enables MMI options such as CRT & LCD displays, Keyboards, Pointing devices, Finger print security devices and so on.

VME
-
One of the world's leading architectures for high reliability electronics applications is the VME platform.The VME standard is managed by the VME bus International Trade Association, VITA.Embedded computing's most successful bus standard, VME bus, shows no signs of slowing down as it maintains it's position as the industry's de facto standard into the 21st century. The foundation of VME's longevity, namely it's steady rate of technological evolution combined with a commitment to backward compatibility with legacy hardware and software, has been the linchpin of it's popularity for nearly twenty-five years. Today, innovative enhancements to the standard, through the VME Standards Organisation (VSO), continue to improve VME bus' speed, performance and reliability, strengthening it's position as the ideal solution for today's increasingly stringent commercial, industrial and military system requirements (Source: VITA).Data Patterns has implemented a number of standard VME boards, driven by Customer needs for Processor and I/O requirements in this platform. Today, standard modules are available covering the needs of:

Pack (IP) Modules
IP & MM
-
Industry Pack (IP) modules are international standards as per ANSI-VITA 4.These are mezzanine modules of approximately the size of a business card (99mm x 45mm). Featuring a 16 or 32 bit wide I/O interface and 50 user defined I/O pins, these modules are ideal for providing the capability for high density I/O.IP carriers provide multiple slots on a single carrier. This allows multiple IP modules to be provided on a single slot in a Compact PCI / VME / VXI / PCI card cage.Industry Pack modules provide some unique advantages in system integration. These include:

VXI
-
VXI stands for VME eXtensions for Instrumentation. It is an open standard first developed by five leading Test and Measurement companies in 1987 to standardise a backplane capable of developing open, interchangeable instrument modules that could be used to build Automatic Test Equipment (ATE).Data Patterns designs and markets a wide range of VXI modules, some of which are listed below. Due to the use of the latest technologies, Data Patterns VXI modules offer the highest I/O density available in the industry today.Further enhancements of functional capabilities are achieved by the use of VXI IP carriers and VXI M Module carriers. This extends standard functions available from Data Patterns in these mezzanine architectures to the VXI platform.
