Curtiss-Wright / Synergy Microsystems ETVI Expansion Module

The Curtiss-Wright/Synergy Microsystems ETVI is an expansion module engineered to extend the capabilities of VMEbus Single Board Computers through high-speed mezzanine connectivity. This module integrates directly with compatible SBCs via the EZ-Bus interface, adding network connectivity and enhanced system functionality for embedded applications requiring reliable performance in demanding environments.

## Technical Specifications

**Manufacturer:** Curtiss-Wright / Synergy Microsystems
**Model:** ETVI Expansion Module
**Interface:** High-speed EZ-Bus Mezzanine Interface
**Network Connectivity:** 10/Base-T Ethernet

## Key Features

• Mezzanine-based architecture enables direct integration with VMEbus SBCs without external cabling
• 10/Base-T Ethernet port provides standard network connectivity for data communication
• High-speed EZ-Bus interface supports efficient data transfer between module and host processor
• VMEbus-standard form factor ensures compatibility with existing embedded system architectures

## Typical Applications

The ETVI expansion module suits embedded systems requiring network connectivity in conjunction with Motorola 68060 or 68040-based VMEbus computing platforms. Applications include data acquisition systems, real-time control, and networked instrumentation where compact mezzanine expansion is preferred over external interface cards.

## Compatibility & Integration

This module is designed for integration with the Synergy Microsystems V452-B and V452-D VMEbus Single Board Computers. Both host platforms feature 68060 or 68040 processors with configurable memory and expansion capabilities. The ETVI leverages the EZ-Bus mezzanine protocol, eliminating the need for slot-based I/O while maintaining the standard VME power and mechanical envelope. Integration with Curtiss-Wright data acquisition software suites such as DAS Studio or GS Works is possible when deployed as part of a broader data acquisition system.
