| Tracewell Systems Inc. has combined
our extensive experience in standard architecture backplanes and high-frequency
telecommunications design. The result is a line of high-performance backplanes for
CompactPCI that meet the needs of a wide range of industrial, data and telecommunication
applications. By utilizing the latest in design and manufacturing technology, Tracewell
Systems provides a unique combination of performance, quality and value to its CompactPCI
customers. Tracewell Systems 6U CompactPCI
backplanes provide a 64-bit CompactPCI bus and hot swap compatibility. The 8-layer design
is fully optimized for signal and power distribution and uniform impedance. Matched clock
lines minimize skew while ground guarding reduces line-to-line crosstalk. A
right-justified system slot is available allowing use of all slots even with multi-slot
CPU boards. Left-justified versions are also available. Power terminals are positioned
adjacent to the system slot to provide more efficient power distribution and wiring. This
orientation allows a 6U overall board height while providing full access for rear plugging
boards. Power connections utilize a combination of ATX and high current power taps to
support a wide range of power harness configurations. A 14-position system header also
provides access to PRST#, DEG#, FAL# signals, as well as logic return and remote sense. To
help eliminate the problem of bent pins during installation of rear I/O boards, type-AB
shrouds are installed on both P3 and P5 in all slots. Other conveniences include two
auxiliary power connectors for peripherals.
Tracewell Systems 6U CompactPCI backplanes address the
needs of high-technology computing applications for today and tomorrow. |
