The PGE1-B is a Gigabit Ethernet PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) module engineered for high-speed network connectivity in embedded systems. This module delivers reliable data communication across industrial, military, and aerospace platforms where mission-critical performance is non-negotiable. The PMC form factor integrates directly into VME, VXI, and CompactPCI host architectures via standard expansion slots.
## Technical Specifications
• **Form Factor:** PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) per IEEE 1386.1
• **Network Interface:** 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet
• **Manufacturer:** Curtiss-Wright / Synergy Microsystems
## Key Features
• Single gigabit Ethernet port supporting auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps operation
• IEEE 1386.1 compliant design for standardized PMC slot compatibility
• Engineered for harsh operating environments common to defense and aerospace systems
• High-throughput data transfer capability for signal processing and data acquisition workloads
## Typical Applications
The PGE1-B addresses demanding embedded network requirements including real-time data acquisition systems, signal processing platforms, and distributed communication architectures operating in temperature-extreme and vibration-intensive environments.
## Compatibility & Integration
The module plugs directly into PMC expansion slots found on VME, VXI, and CompactPCI backplanes. Host systems must provide a standard PMC interface; the module requires no additional carrier cards or adapters. Integration is immediate upon insertion into a compatible slot.
