This unit
The Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO VXE-35C is a VXI extender board engineered to expand VXI backplane configurations while maintaining signal integrity across the entire system. This adapter enables larger, more complex test and development environments by extending VXI functionality and isolating non-TTL signals from the backplane - a critical requirement in systems operating beyond standard TTL/CMOS voltage levels.
Technical Specifications Manufacturer: Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO
Model: VXE-35C Product Type: VXI Extender Board Form Factor: C-size VXI systems
Key Features
Expands VXI backplane to support larger system configurations
Maintains full VXI specification compliance across extended architectures
Isolates non-TTL signals on the P2 bus, essential for voltage levels exceeding standard logic thresholds
Serves as adapter for the VMETRO VBT-325C VMEbus Analyzer, enabling VXI analysis capabilities
Preserves signal integrity critical for reliable data transfer in extended VXI systems
Specifically designed for deployment in C-size VXI chassis
Typical Applications
VXI system expansion requiring increased slot count and modular flexibility
VMEbus analyzer integration into VXI test environments
Systems requiring isolation of mixed-signal or analog components with non-standard voltage levels
Development and validation platforms requiring extended VXI backplane access
Compatibility & Integration The VXE-35C interfaces directly with the VXI backplane and functions as a dedicated adapter for the VMETRO VBT-325C VMEbus Analyzer. This pairing allows the VBT-325C to operate within C-size VXI systems while isolating signals with illegal voltage levels on the P2 bus. The extender maintains backward compatibility with full VXI specifications, ensuring seamless integration into existing test frameworks. Extended lifecycle support is available through third-party suppliers.
Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO VXE-35C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO VXE-35C. Calibration covers all module-specific parameters per manufacturer datasheet, output accuracy and linearity, frequency accuracy, and VXI register and trigger bus compliance. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO VXE-35C faults: relay contact wear, DAC/ADC drift, VXI backplane connector oxidation. Common faults include relay contact wear, DAC or ADC gain drift, and VXI backplane edge connector oxidation. Most modules are repaired at the component level with full post-repair verification in a C-size or D-size mainframe.
