Signal Integrity for High Speed MicroTCA Systems
The implementation of real-time applications requires a powerful infrastructure for the data transfer which has to distinguish itself by large transmission bandwidths at least possible delays and minimum risks of loss. High data transfer rates are required mainly by modern telecommunication applications. This field extends increasingly towards sophisticated multimedia applications and demanding industrial fields of application, such as machine and process control. In particular the MicroTCA standard contributes decisively towards this development, thanks to its high degree of modularity. In this connection, signal integrity is of great importance. As we will see in the following, certain reflections on 3 GHz systems have to be made that take into consideration the signal behavior of up to 15 GHz! (-More-) |

The Rugged MicroTCA effort is continuing to draw between 30 and 40 companies almost every week.
The PICMG Interconnect Channel Characterization Committee (PICCC) has a specification that currently is at a 0.3a draft level.
