Mezzanine boards are small form factor cards designed to plug onto larger form factor boards. The larger main boards can be designed to support one or more Mezzanine boards. Not all mezzanine formats are supported by the main boards.


M-Module Description

The M-Module defines the electrical and Mechanical characteristics of the bus. M-Modules utilize 2-row [40-pin] connectors, while MA-Modules have 3-row [60-pin] connectors for module to main board communication. The boards come as single or double width sizes.
The M-Module [Mezzanine-Module] Card size is 52.9mm x 148.3mm, there are other board sizes
The MA-Module [Mezzanine Addition-Module] Card handles more signals. The M-Module uses an 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit data bus, and an 8-bit or 24-bit address bus. An asynchronous SYSCLK of 16MHz is required. Power supply voltages of +5v [1000mA], and +/-12 volts [200mA] are required. Standard TTL logic levels are used.
