High speed backplane design is usually an iterative process. Tradeoffs must be made among multiple conflicting goals and constraints including: * Backplane architecture – desired vs. achievable ...

Part of the AirMax VS backplane connector family, four-pair vertical headers and right-angle receptacles improve pc-board routing density and contact spacing to optimize board real-estate consumption.

TE Connectivity and Credo are teaming up at DesignCon 2018 to demonstrate a system that can transmit data at rates of up to 112Gbit/s over PCB backplanes. In the demonstration, TE’s OSFP IO connector ...

As a signal travels across a network, it focuses only on what it sees in its path. And increases in data rates over the past few decades have made this path a bit more clouded. System infrastructure ...

Xilinx and Ansoft have created a Xilinx Virtex-II Pro X FPGA-based gigabit interconnect design kit for high-speed PCB and backplane designs. The kit is designed to predict the quality of a signal and ...

Bert Simonovich has spent over five decades in electronics, starting with T1 line repeaters and backplanes in the telecom industry. Little did he know that his early work would lead him to become a ...

Current state-of-the-art backplanes used on comm equipment designs bundle 1- to 3-Gbit/s lanes to create a 10-Gbit/s connection to support Gigabit Ethernet or Sonet OC-192 traffic. While a good option ...
