Orchid Technologies' AdvancedTCA Design
48 Lanes of distributed PCI Express peripheral I/O provide high data throughput between the Freescale Power-PC MPC8548 Processor, the individual AMC Cards and the ATCA Backplane. PCI Express switching technology from PLX permits highly flexible PCI Express configurations among RTM, Card Slots and backplane.AdvancedTCA and microTCA architectures are intended for demanding, high availability applications, says Paul Nickelsberg, President and CTOҠ at Orchid Technologies. Orchids early success with AdvancedTCA and microTCA design provided our clients world-class high-end computing options.
At Orchid Technologies we specialize in custom electronic product design. Years of successful electronic product development for a diverse group of nationwide OEM clients has made the engineers at Orchid an expert team. Expert at making performance-driven, cost-effective, manufacturable technology choices. Our experience and expertise are available to assist you. Orchid"s designs include: medical, security, energy, industiral, instrumentation, telecom and more.
Orchid Technologies" three phased electronic product development approach is the key to your success. We start with Phase Zerodiscovery and planning:
Phase Zero: Orchid reviews your product design requirements in detail. Working with your requirements and concerns, we create a Phase One Development Plan which includes: Top-Level Specification, Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) Cost Model, Prototype Cost Model, and Development Schedule all at the Phase One level.
Phase One: Orchid executes the Phase One Development Plan. During this phase, Orchid performs detailed design, fabrication, assembly, checkout and debug tasks. The purpose of the Phase One period is to produce and deliver a number of prototype units as defined in the Phase One Development Plan.
Phase Two: Orchid and the client test and rework the Phase One design, readying it for volume production. Practical experience shows that product changes are inevitable. The Phase Two period addresses those final changes which result from product redefinition, checkout, debug, testing, and production/process related activities.
