4 unusual facts about PCI Mezzanine Card


Advanced Mezzanine Card

The AMC standard is not to be confused with other mezzanine card standards such as PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) and FMC – FPGA Mezzanine Card.

PCI Mezzanine Card

FMC – FPGA Mezzanine Card provides a standard mezzanine form factor that offers a flexible, modular I/O interface to an FPGA located on a host system baseboard or carrier card.

PMCs were also used in early ATCA systems prior to the advent of the Advanced Mezzanine Card or AMC.

•

Carrier cards that accept PMCs are usually made in the Eurocard format, which includes single, double and triple-height VMEbus cards, CompactPCI (cPCI) cards and more recently, VPX cards.
