Curtiss-Wright Controls Doubles Memory on Buffer Memory XMC Card and Passes Rugged Qualification
Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls) has doubled the memory from 4G to 8G on the MM-6171, its first high-density, high-speed DDR2 SDRAM Buffer Memory XMC card. The rugged, small form factor mezzanine module, available in air- and now conduction-cooled variants, supports the latest high-speed serial fabrics, such as PCI Express(r) (PCIe) and Serial RapidIO(r) (SRIO), to deliver higher bi-directional bandwidths than available with earlier PMC card designs. The MM-6171 speeds and eases the integration of high-density contiguous memory into embedded systems designed for harsh environments. The card is designed to provide volatile, deep storage for a wide range of military applications including RADAR, signal intelligence, and image processing.
