As bandwidth needs increase, backplane design shifts to point-to-point star topologies using narrow, high-speed links. Simulation of design before routing and layout is critical, but it can be ...

Switched serial interconnects have placed substantial performance demands on backplane design. The open-specification organizations VMEbus International Trade Association (VITA) and PCI Industrial ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 1, 2004 - Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX), the world leader in programmable logic solutions and AMIRIX Systems, a leading provider of embedded systems design services, today ...

Force10 Networks has been awarded a patent for its advancements in developing the high capacity backplane that powers its TeraScale E-Series. The TeraScale E-Series can process 1 billion packets per ...

The 100 G backplane features 14 slots, dual-dual star topology and radial or bused IPMB prepared for two Schroff shelf managers with Pigeon Point ShMM 700. It uses specially developed ZD connectors ...

The newly launched DesignLink Web portal from Amphenol TCS delivers a custom suite of proprietary engineering design tools and technical information specific to high-speed backplane design. The secure ...

The appropriate topology, chassis design, and cooling management yield scalable high-performance systems. If you're like a lot of design engineers, you want to design a high-performance communications ...

The rate of adoption of serial technology in high-end system design has reached critical mass. As shown in Fig 1, this point is supported by the fact that 92% of respondents in a recent EE Times ...

The CompactPCI PlusIO backplane complies with the latest PICMG 2.30 specifications. PICMG 2.30 expands the backplane with serial point-to-point connections for data transfer (PCIe, SATA, USB, Ethernet ...

There's nothing new in the concept of using COTS – commercial off the shelf – backplanes and boards in a range of applications. It's an approach rooted in good sense, as long as the various elements ...

The development of backplanes for high performance designs is certainly challenging. The key appears to be ‘don’t do it yourself’, especially if you are looking at customised designs. When it comes to ...
