ELMA Develops VITA 46 Chassis



FREMONT, California, Feb 15, 2006 - Elma Electronic Inc., a global manufacturer of electronic packaging products has announced a prototype chassis based on the upcoming VITA 46 and VITA 48 standards.

The Elma VITA 46 ATR chassis features a 12-slot mesh backplane and integrated front-to-rear airflow. It uses 120VAC or 28 VDC power supplies with bottom patch panel access to the P2 section of the backplane. The Elma Bustronic 12-slot VITA 46 hybrid fabric backplane is a general purpose VITA 46 implementation that supports three legacy VME64x slots and 9 VITA 46 slots. The VITA 46 bus segment provides two 4-slot meshed clusters for high performance blade computing or pipeline graphics processing. The VMEbus originates in the three-slot legacy VMEbus segment and is continued across the P2 connectors of the VITA 46 bus segment. The high-density MultiGig connectors in each slot have been interconnected so that each of the two 4-slot clusters provide a choice of star, mesh, or ring topologies.

This arrangement will support a multitude of signal processing applications and is an ideal platform for companies to develop and deploy new VITA 46 solutions.

VITA 46 and VITA 48, being developed and defined by the VMEbus International Trade Associaton's (VITA) VITA Standards Organization (VSO), is a comprehensive effort that defines the next major evolutionary advance in open architecture, standards-based embedded computing. At Bus and Board 2006, attendees have the opportunity to view prototypes of an ATR chassis, backplane and CPU board that implement VITA 46 and VITA 48 features.

The lead-time is 6 weeks ARO.
