CompactPCI Serial Overview

The CompactPCI serial standard is an evolution of the existing PICMG 2.0 specification, which is characterized by serial communications over the backplane. Supports expansion cards, which can either be connected via Ethernet, PCI Express, SATA or USB. In specification-compliant system enclosures while any combinations of such cards are pluggable, which are directly supported up to eight. Bridges also on appropriate solutions with a significantly greater number of expansion cards can be implemented. This high flexibility in the design allows implementing very different system configurations

• Scalable multiprocessor systems and CPU cluster via PCIe or Ethernet
• RAID systems with up to 8 SATA lanes for SATA hard drive shuttles, for example, for data recording of video surveillance systems
• NAS systems to access data from the cloud, which are realized with a mix of Ethernet networked CPU modules and SATA hard drive shuttles.
• Multi-monitor systems to control up to 32 displays as infotainment, digital signage and control rooms.
• Flexible configurations with wireless WLAN, UMTS, HSDPA, LTE and GSM to support up to 8 cards, each with two radio modules.

CompactPCI Serial Tech Highlights

CompactPCI serial provides solutions for high density integrated systems, excellent EMI shielding, optimized cooling, robust and highly available systems. Kontron integrates all these characteristics into a wide range of CompactPCI serial products with advantageous features:

• New high-density connector
• CompactPCI® serial connectors P1 to P6
• New backplane structure with 9 slots
• The mechanical design of CompactPCI® Serial is backward compatible to CPCI
• The higher-density connectors are the major physical revision of the CompactPCI®
• The peripheral slots are connected in a star topology for PCI Express, SATA and USB.
• The mechanical design of CompactPCI® serial is backward compatible with CompactPCI®.
• Main components such as housing and cooling can still be used
• All this contributes to improving the attractiveness of CompactPCI® Serial for the latest high-end modular industrial computing designs
