XMC to 12Gb/s SAS RAID Controller

The ARC-1883P is a high performance XMC (PMC with high-speed serial fabric interconnect Mezzanine Card) that is ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high bandwidth storage. It is based on the ROC I/O controller, equipped with 8 ports of either SAS or SATA connectivity at 12.0 Gb/s per ports. Features include high performance dual core ROC processor, 2GB DDR3-1866 memory and high speed PCIe 3.0 x8 interface. A heat-sink is provided adequate cooling for the dual core ROC controller and conducts heat to front bracket. ARC-1883P can be used on Video/IR systems and Signal Intelligence, etc. Application areas can be found in markets such as medical, military, aerospace and automation.
