AdvancedTCA Backplane suits prototyping applications.
Press Release Summary:
Compliant to PICMG 3.0 specification, 2-slot ATCA Backplane features 15x Replicated Mesh, point-to-point topology that does not require switch cards for prototyping. It offers 10-layer stripline design with optimized routing through signal integrity studies. Connectors are provided for direct plugging of IPM Sentry shelf manager or wired connections to other shelf managers. Standard Full Mesh topology can also be implemented on backplane.
Original Press Release:
New 2-Slot AdvancedTCA Backplane Ideal For Prototyping
FREMONT, California, May 3, 2005 - Elma Bustronic Corporation, an industry leading designer and manufacturer of high performance backplanes has developed a new 2-slot AdvancedTCA (ATCA) backplane. The 2-slot ATCA has a point-to-point mesh topology that does not require the expense of switch cards for prototyping.
The 2-slot ATCA features a 10-layer stripline design with optimized routing through signal integrity studies. Also included are connectors for direct plugging of the IPM Sentry shelf manager from Elma Electronic Inc or wired connections to other shelf managers. The topology is a switchless 15x Replicated Mesh with point-to-point links between the slots. However, a standard Full Mesh can also be implemented on the backplane.
Elma Bustronic's Signal Integrity (SI) lab has performed simulation and backplane characterization to ensure the highest performance. The company's unique ATCA probe card makes accurate and sophisticated measurement possible. All Elma Bustronic ATCA backplanes are compliant to the PICMG 3.0 specification.
