A single power module is unlikely to meet the power requirements of a fully
loaded μTCA system; hence load sharing mode is used in these systems, where the power requirements are met by having multiple PM. Power Modules can also be configured to improve reliability by redundancy, but this will increase the number of PMs required in a system. Often load sharing is required, and PM redundancy is...

Many design engineers are looking to upgrade from their legacy parallel bus systems to a new architecture. Legacy VME and CompactPCI simply do not have the bandwidth and performance for most embedded computing applications. They can still have a niche in specific designs where a bus-based approach is acceptable – less reliability and significantly lower throughput. However, most board vendors... Read More...
