The CERN VME430 standard, often called "Nuclear VME", is an extension of the VME64 Standard and was introduced in 1980. It is fully backwards compatible to VME/VME64.
The VME430 specification adds 3-row / 30-pin DIN-type Paux/Jaux connectors which are located between the regular P1/J1 and P2/J2 connectors. Through these connectors the ECL voltages -5.2V and -2V as well as optionally +/-15V are provided to the VME430 modules. Further the Paux/Jaux connector adds additional ground pins, a serial bus and geographic addressing.
Considering the use of highly sensitive analog VME modules for nulcear and high energy physics detector read-out, the VME430 specification requests low noise power supplies.
WIENER offers VME430 crates in a compact design as 9 slot VME430 mini crates or in full size for 19" rackmounting with 21 slots for both 6U and 9U cards.
