BUSTRONIC UPGRADES ITS 5-SLOT AdvancedTCA BACKPLANE
FREMONT, California, July 23, 2008 - Elma Bustronic Corporation, an industry leading designer and manufacturer of
high performance backplanes has upgraded its 5-slot AdvancedTCA Backplane with a
new shelf manager interconnect scheme.
The upgraded 5-slot ATCA backplane now features standard MicroTCA connectors , which are small and dense, for the Elma’s IPM Sentry shelf manager connections. In addition to saving space, the connectors are widely available, reliable, and with a compression mount design are field-replacable. If damaged, the MicroTCA connector can be unscrewed from the backplane and replaced.
The 5-slot ATCA backplane features a 3x replicated Mesh topology, although a standard Full Mesh or even Dual Star can be implemented. The backplane has 18 layers and is optimized for performance via signal integrity studies.
