µTCA
Product Selector
MicroTCA (Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture) is a PICMG standard for open modular systems based on AMCs (Advanced Mezzanine Cards).
Designed to address high communication bandwidth, high processing capacity and high availability requirements, MicroTCA platforms have enough bandwidth for the most challenging applications.
MicroTCA offers designers a wide range of options by allowing full redundant systems, partially redundant systems and systems with no redundancy at all. It’s because of these types of options that MicroTCA is an ideal platform for a wide range of application spaces.
Applications in Military/Aerospace, Communications, Medical and Industrial will benefit from MicroTCA’s compact design, performance capabilities, and full-range of system design options.
The NAT-MCH is a MicroTCA Carrier Hub in the form factor of a single or double width, mid- or full-size Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC). It provides the central management and data switching entity for all MicroTCA systems. The NAT-MCH is MTCA.0, MTCA.1, MTCA.2, MTCA.3 and MTCA.4 compliant and delivers switching and hub functionality for the various system fabrics i.e. Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), PCI-Express (PCIe Gen 3), Serial Rapid I/O (SRIO Gen 2) or 10Gigabit Ethernet (XAUI) or custom protocols based on Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA. The NAT-MCH can also provide a centralized clock distribution to all AMCs in the system.
µTCA Specification
The MicroTCA specification, denoted mTCA.x, takes the extensive knowledge and practices developed with AdvancedTCA and AdvancedMC and applies them to the area of smaller form factor plug-in systems.

The NATIVE-Starter is designated to any applications in industry, research, (tele-) communication and medical, where engineers need to start right away with their development. Being off-the-shelf and application ready saves time and costs.
The NATIVE-RTM reflects the latest revision of MTCA intended to be used with any application that requires rear transition modules, i. e. research, or excessive board space.
The NATIVE-COM is based on 19" technology and targeting at applications.
The NAT-PM-AC600 is a high-density and high-efficiency power module (PM) for MIcroTCA™ applications. Supplying 600W it is the market’s most efficient PM in its single-width full-size form-factor to run today’s complex communication systems made of latest processor generations and an increased number of Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMC™). The NAT-PM-AC600 provides electrical support for the expected workload of 12 AMCs, 2 Cooling Units (CUs) and 2 MicroTCA™ Carrier Hubs (MCH).
The NAT-PM-DC840 is a high-density, high-efficiency power module (PM) for MicroTCA applications. Supplying 840W it is the market's most efficient PM to run today's complex communication systems that use latest processor generations with large memory capacity and an increased number of Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMC). The NAT-PM-DC840 provides electrical support for the maximum expected workload of 12 Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs), 2 Cooling Units (CUs) and 2 MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) modules.
