Original Press Release:
PICMG* 2.18 Serial RapidIO CompactPCI* Backplane
Ayer, MA, 11/15/04 - Hybricon Corporation announces the release of a PICMG 2.18 backplane that complies with the new PICMG 2.18 specification, which was approved and released in June 2004. As the fourth switch fabric to be implemented on CompactPCI, this is the latest example of the trend for system architectures to move towards serial point-to-point interconnections and switch fabric topologies. The PICMG 2.18 backplane provides a better method of transferring large amounts of data between cards, with an emphasis on real time applications that require low latency. As a sponsor of the PICMG 2.18 subcommittee and as the company chosen by the RapidIO Trade Association to perform all of the signal integrity simulation work for PICMG 2.18, Hybricon is intimately familiar with the PICMG 2.18 specification.
Hybricon's PICMG* 2.18 Serial RapidIO CompactPCI* backplane is available in 8 and 21 slots with two PICMG 2.18 fabric slots. Custom configurations from 2 to 21 slots are also available. H.110 versions are available which comply with the PICMG 2.5 R1.0 CompactPCI Computer Telephony Specification.
Additional features include:
o 12-layer, high performance, low noise stripline design
o Available in 5V or 3.3V switchable V (I/O)
o Jumperable geographic address
o Type AB rear shrouds on RP3, RP5 on node slots
Pricing starts at $1575.00 in quantity. For more information, see hybricon.com/products/backplanes/picmg218.html
