VITA™ 57.1 FMC™ Connector Standard Products and Support

FAMILY OVERVIEW

The FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) was developed and ratified by a consortium of FPGA vendors and end-user members of the VITA™ 57 working group. FMC™ and FMC+™ are ANSI Standards which define a compact electro-mechanical expansion interface for a daughter card to an FPGA baseboard or other device with re-configurable I/O capability.

vita logo

The FMC™ Standard is essential for FPGA vendors making baseboards and comprehensive development kits to enable Designers to accelerate their application development. FMC™ products are continually introduced by Supplier companies for targeted market specific applications in industries such as Datacom, Broadcast, Aerospace/Defense, Industrial and Instrumentation.

VITA™ 57.1 JSOM

Some FPGA mezzanine cards may present a challenge to unmate from their host. To aid in separation, Samtec has developed the JSOM (Micro Jack Screw Standoff). They act as a traditional standoff when collapsed. An Allen-key unscrews and expands the jack screw, dividing the PCBs in a steady, even motion until the mezzanine is safely separated from its host. The JSOM standoff family includes M2.5, M3, and #4-40 hardware available in 8.5 mm and 10 mm stack heights.

Intel® HSMC

The Intel® HSMC defines electrical and mechanical properties of a high speed mezzanine card interface. This specification standardizes the way in which mezzanine cards communicate and connect to host boards. By taking advantage of the high-performance I/O features found in today’s FPGA devices, manufacturers can build a single mezzanine card that will then interface to multiple host boards.

Similarly, they can build a host board that can leverage many different, pre-built, mezzanine cards. The HSMC connectors defined by the specification are based on the 0.50 mm pitch Q Strip® QSH/QTH products high speed board-to-board connectors from Samtec. The Samtec interconnect for the mezzanine card is ASP-122952-01. See the complete HSMC Specification from Intel® for further information and recommendations for running both high-frequency and low speed interface signals within the various “banks."

High-Speed Cable Assemblies to Interface with HSMC Connectors:

Custom HDR cable assemblies for HSMC are available in various lengths with a variety of terminal/socket end options and orientations.
