Tews expands VITA 93-QMC offering for mezzanine design

Eight single-width QMC modules and a CompactPCI Serial QMC carrier have been announced by Tews Technologies, designed to accelerate adoption of the mezzanine standard.

The additions to its VITA 93 – QMC portfolio,  will accelerate adoption of the new mezzanine standard, said Tews Technologies. The VITA 93 – QMC form factor addresses the aerospace and defence sector’s need for compact, scalable, and high-performance I/O under strict SWaP (size, weight and power) constraints. It allows developers to mix and match I/O functions on a single carrier, provide PCIe connectivity and a unified mechanical design.

The new additions to the portfolio are:


TQMC402 – a 4-channel isolated RS232/RS422/RS485 programmable serial interface,


TQMC500 with 20 isolated analogue inputs, simultaneous sampling,

TQMC601 – 32 isolated 15-60V digital inputs,

TQMC602  – 16 digital in, 16 digital out (0.3 A), isolated,

TQMC603 – 20 digital outputs (5-36V, 0.3A), isolated,

TQMC603 – 20 digital outputs (5-36 V, 0.3 A), isolated,

TQMC801 – 1000BASE-KX Ethernet (pictured),

TQMC802 – a 4-channel isolated CAN FD and

the TCPS210, claimed to be the first QMC carrier for CompactPCI-Serial systems.

All modules are designed to operate at industrial temperatures and are available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants.

The TCPS210 is a 3U carrier which supports three QMC sites and integrates a non-blocking PCIe switch to distribute host bandwidth efficiently across installed modules. The carrier is designed to support integration into conduction-cooled systems. An IPMC controller enables real-time QMC health status tracking and communication. For enhanced system monitoring, the carrier includes an IPMC controller, enabling real-time QMC health status tracking and seamless communication.

They are covered by a five-year standard warranty and long-term lifecycle support. Tews Technologies is a VITA Standards Ogranization member and plans to add further carriers for VPX and VNX+ as well as more QMC modules.

Tews will be exhibiting at Embedded World (10-12 March 2026) Hall 3, 3-371.
