The Acromag QMC Series delivers a versatile range of VITA 93 small form factor mezzanine I/O modules engineered for high-performance embedded computing in industrial automation, defence, aerospace, transportation, scientific research, and test & measurement applications. These modules plug into a carrier board using the VITA 93 standard, enabling scalable, rugged I/O expansion with minimal size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C).
Each module offers a dedicated function — from precision analogue data acquisition to robust digital I/O and serial communication — and supports rugged deployment with options for extended temperature and conduction-cooled environments.
Range features
A high level overview of what this range offers
-
VITA 93 Compliant Modular Architecture – Build flexible systems by mixing different QMC modules on a single carrier card, ensuring interoperability across vendors and platforms.
-
Compact & Rugged Design – Single-width modules (26 × 78.25 mm) save space compared to traditional mezzanine forms, ideal for SWaP-constrained embedded applications.
-
High Resolution & High Speed Analog Acquisition – The analog modules support simultaneous sampling and 16-bit precision with fast throughput, suitable for signal monitoring and measurement systems.
-
Optically-Isolated Digital I/O – Digital inputs and outputs include channel-isolation options to protect system logic and ensure safe operation in noisy or fault-prone environments.
-
Programmable Serial Communication – Serial modules allow flexible protocol support (RS-232/422/485), with FIFO buffering and interrupt support for efficient data communication.
-
Multifunction I/O Flexibility – The high-density multi-function module combines analogue input, analogue output, digital I/O, and counter/timers in a single mezzanine solution.
-
PCI Express Connectivity – All modules interface over PCIe through the carrier, providing high-speed communication to host systems.
-
Software & System Management Support – Acromag provides drivers and tools supporting common operating systems — and IPMI support for smart carrier management.
