This enables enhanced accessibility and flexibility during prototyping or testing of FMC I\/O interfaces.<br \/>\nThe module is fully compatible with both FMC LPC and HPC modules, ensuring maximum flexibility for all types of designs. In addition to its standard functionality, the height extender also supports the convenient use of non-standard compliant FMC cards. If a carrier card places components inside the forbidden regions defined by the FMC outline, or if a mezzanine module has a larger outline than standard FMC modules, the extender adds mechanical clearance. This allows engineers to combine otherwise incompatible carrier and mezzanine cards without redesigning hardware.<\/p>\n<h4>Applications<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Extending board-to-board spacing for FPGA carrier and mezzanine cards<\/li>\n<li>Facilitating additional I\/O expansion during prototyping<\/li>\n<li>Extending lifecycle of FPGA carrier card FMC connectors in test platforms<\/li>\n<li>Research and education with FPGAs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Features<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>VITA 57.1 FMC form-factor height extender card<\/li>\n<li>Compatible with LPC (low-pin-count) and HPC (high-pin-count) boards<\/li>\n<li>High-Pin-Count (HPC) VITA 57.1 male connector<\/li>\n<li>HPC VITA 57.1 female connector<\/li>\n<li>Full 400-pin direct pass-through connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Flexible I\/O voltage (VADJ) support<\/li>\n<li>Supports convenient use of non-standard carrier and mezzanine card outlines<\/li>\n<li>Stackable assembly<\/li>\n<li>Open-source hardware<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Online Datasheet: <a href=\"https:\/\/fmchub.github.io\/projects\/FMC_HPC_HEIGHT_EXTENDER\/Datasheet\/FMC_HPC_HEIGHT_EXTENDER_datasheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FMC HPC Height Extender<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Features<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>VITA 57.1 FMC form-factor height extender card<\/li>\n<li>Compatible with LPC (low-pin-count) and HPC (high-pin-count) boards<\/li>\n<li>High-Pin-Count (HPC) VITA 57.1 male connector<\/li>\n<li>HPC VITA 57.1 female connector<\/li>\n<li>Full 400-pin direct pass-through connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Flexible I\/O voltage (VADJ) support<\/li>\n<li>Supports convenient use of non-standard carrier and mezzanine card outlines<\/li>\n<li>Stackable assembly<\/li>\n<li>Open-source hardware<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10816,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[22],"product_tag":[39],"class_list":{"0":"post-10814","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fmc_modules","7":"product_tag-fmc-breakout-boards","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iamelectronic.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/10814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iamelectronic.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iamelectronic.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iamelectronic.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iamelectronic.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iamelectronic.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=10814"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iamelectronic.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=10814"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iamelectronic.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=10814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
