Hybricon Corporation is Proud to Achieve the "Editor's Choice Award" from VME & Critical Systems Magazine


AYER, Massachusetts, July 15, 2009, Hybricon Corporation, a world class
solutions company providing integrated system solutions, electronic
enclosures, backplanes, card cage assemblies and subsystem interconnect
packaging for military, telecom, medical, and commercial applications is
pleased to achieve the June 2009 Editor's Choice Award from Open Systems
Publishing's VME Critical Systems Magazine.

Chris A. Ciufo, Group Editorial Director for OpenSystems Media, Military
and Aerospace Group writes, "An avid and longtime supporter of both VME
and PICMG standards, Hybricon is routinely at the forefront of new
technology - and their 3U VPX backplane is a good case in point. While
it's true that VITA 46.0 (VPX) Gen 1 is undergoing some modifications to
Gen 2 to accommodate new system management features and address some
interoperability enhancements via VITA 65, the market has been consuming
VPX boards for several years. Therefore, there's a need for backplanes
for today's VPX - and tomorrow's version".

"This five-slot backplane works with the smaller 3U version of VPX,
which is gaining traction in defense applications because it offers high
I/O density, serial fabrics, and conduction cooling in a very small (3U)
space. Compliant with VITA 46.0, VITA 46.10 (RTM Connectors), VITA 46.3
(Serial RapidIO), and VITA 46.4 (PCIe), the backplane also includes
keying and alignment. Additionally, there are geographic address pins,
"Reserved for Future Use" (RFU) signal pairs, JTAG connections, and
system management signals. It can be ordered with optional JP3
jumper-selectable NVMEM Read Only, along with optional battery backup at
JP4". (VME and Critical Systems magazine. Copyright OpenSystems Media,
