EasyPlug™ CompactPCI Backplane

actPCI Backplane

Description

The Elma Bustronic CompactPCI backplane series is designed to be fully

compliant with PICMG standards. The EasyPlug line features Positronic 47-pin

power connectors on the backplane. The monolithic backplanes have pluggable

modules that eliminate cabling in the chassis, reducing system costs and allowing

more swappability. The 3U and 6U cPCI versions are standardly with the power

connectors in a vertically oriented position. The 9U cPCI are standardly with the

power connectors in a horizontally oriented position.

The new EasyPlug CompactPCI backplane line allows pluggability for power

supplies, fan trays, utility headers, and shelf managers. This reduces mean-time-

to-repair (MTTR) and time-consuming cabling costs. We have provided all the

standard features required for full compatibility, including all pin connections for

bussed signal lines and all defined power and ground pins connected to their

respective planes. User defined VI/O is standard. All standard CPCI backplanes

conform to the PICMG basic specification 2.0 R2.1 and Hot Swap specification 2.1

R2.0 All Bustronic backplanes are designed to maximize performance, minimize

noise, and give the customer the most reliable, cost-effective products possible.

To achieve superior performance, we construct the board in eight layers (12

layers for H.110) three signal layers, five power ground planes. We incorporate

a full stripline design, generously distributed decoupling capacitors, and 2 oz.

power and ground planes. Our standard design with two 2oz. copper ground

planes fully shield the backplane, minimize EMI/RFI emissions susceptibility,

minimize crosstalk, and maximize power distribution.
