Elma Bustronic Announces New 3U 32-bit CompactPCI Backplane


FREMONT, California, Apr 24, 2007 - Elma Bustronic, an industry leading designer and manufacturer of high performance backplanes has developed a new 3U 32-bit CompactPCI (cPCI) backplane in a 6-slot size.

The new 32-bit version cPCI industrial backplane offers hundreds of I/O pins across the backplane that on the 64-bit version are defined and therefore unavailable. The Bustronic 32-bit backplane line currently includes a 6U 8-slot and 3U versions in 3, 6, and 8 slots. The company also offers a wide range of 64-bit cPCI backplanes, one of the largest PICMG 2.16-compliant packet switching lines in the industry, and various other CompactPCI accessories.

All Elma Bustronic CompactPCI backplanes are compliant to the latest PICMG specifications. Utilizing controlled-impedance stripline design, the Bustronic backplanes have virtually zero crosstalk.
