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 ...

As data and telecom systems move to speeds beyond 3 Gbit/s, design engineers need improved methods for evaluating the components that go into these systems. Molex has responded to this need with a ...

Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs and FCI today announced the successful demonstration of 25 Gb/s data transmission over an electrical backplane using a Bell Labs-developed new signaling architecture and ...

The U.S. Navy, always seeking paths to reduce the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of systems, took another step in that direction with the FlexVPX concept, which was developed at its U.S. Naval ...

Copper backplane interconnects, struggling to meet the needs of high-speed backplane communications, are presently stuck at about 10 Gbits/s. In fact, most systems work at just 3 Gbits/s. To go any ...

When work started on developing the VPX backplane standard in 2004, members of the VITA Consortium wanted to create something which represented the next revolution in bus boards. The work drew on ...

Industry leaders form high speed backplane initiativeNews from E-InSiteAgilent, Cadence, Gennum, Intel, Marvell, Mindspeed, Texas Instruments, Tyco and Velio Communications have teamed up to form the ...

Since the days when classic open platform technologies, such as VME and CompactPCI, were established in the 1980s and 1990s, the processing power available to system designers has continued to ...

ALLENTOWN, Pa.- February 3, 2003 - Agere Systems (NYSE: AGR.A, AGR.B) and Accelerant Networks, the leading developer of backplane communication solutions, today announced a multi-faceted alliance to ...

What exactly does a SCSI backplane do? I'm sure that it depends simply on the model, but does a typical backplane just allow you to connect hotswappable SCA SCSI drives to a standard 68 pin SCSI ...

Ever-increasing volumes of traffic strain the capacities of computing and communications gear. Boosting port speeds from 100Mbps Ethernet to 1Gbps Ethernet – and now to 10Gbps Ethernet – on servers, ...
