Curtiss-Wright / Synergy Microsystems PGE1-B Gigabit Ethernet PMC Module

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 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.
