the following AMC form factors: single- or double-width; mid-size or compact. Total power
of the AMC sites, including optional RTMs, shall not exceed 120 watts. B+ style AMC con-
nectors are used. Each site is individually configurable.

of the KAT4000 to maintain EMC compliance.
Note: See PICMG
®
AMC.0 Rev. 2.0 Advanced Mezzanine Card Base Specification for the maximum allowable com-
ponent height and PCB width for a custom AMC module designed specifically for the KAT4000.
The following features are supported by all AMC interfaces:
Serial Ports: These TTL level signals are for general purpose serial communications. The KAT4000 routes
the serial ports from the AMC sites directly to the Zone 3 connectors.
10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports:
The KAT4000 provides up to two 1000Base-BX Ethernet ports from each AMC site into the
Ethernet core switch (VSC7376).
PCI Express Ports: (Optional) The KAT4000 provides one PCIe port from each AMC site into the PCI Express
switch (PEX 8524).
GbE, sRIO, PCIe or 10 GbE Ports:
The KAT4000 provides four ports from each AMC site into the fat pipe switch module
(optional) capable of using GbE, sRIO, PCIe or 10 GbE protocols.
User I/O: The AMC connectors provide the user-defined I/O for custom connectivity. The KAT4000
routes the user I/O pins from the AMC sites directly to the Zone 3 connectors.
IPMB-L: The local IPMB interfaces between the KAT4000’s IPMC and the AMC sites’ MMC.
