Product overview
The IOM-PS is an XMC I/O expansion mezzanine designed for Frontgrade’s RPM-PS reconfigurable processing module. It translates signals from the carrier’s P15 and P16 connectors into external interfaces through Glenair Nano-D front-panel connectors. Five Ethernet PHYs and four SpaceWire level translators support network and payload connections, complemented by RS-422, LVDS, and LVTTL/LVCMOS signal translation. This combination expands the carrier’s external I/O without changing its main processing hardware. The module’s published documentation details the direction and electrical level of each translated interface, helping integrators match the mezzanine to their carrier and system requirements.
