3U OpenVPX backplanes handle 10.3 Gbaud,
support PCIe Gen 3 and 10 GbE

May 19, 2016 By Abby Esposito Leave a Comment

PCIe Gen 3
Supporting PCIe Gen 3 and 10 GbE (XAUI) and the most advanced Gen3 bandwidth module configurations, Dawn Gen3 backplanes offer multiple connector choices, including a high vibration option.

Dawn VME Products, a designer and manufacturer of high-performance and reliable embedded-packaging technology products based on the VITATM and PICMG architectures, announces its newly released VPX-598x Series Gen3 3U OpenVPX Backplanes.

Dawn’s Gen3 3U OpenVPX backplanes are designed for true signal integrity at up to 10.3 Gbaud performance (per VITA 68 backplane simulation models). Supporting PCIe Gen 3 and 10 GbE (XAUI) and the most advanced Gen3 bandwidth module configurations, Dawn Gen3 backplanes offer multiple connector choices, including a high vibration option.

Dawn uses VITA 68 S-parameter simulation models of signal paths across the backplane to insure compliance with signal integrity standards. In the simulation models a signal integrity budget is established for the backplane portion of a system. These models permit simulation of the backplane with available OpenVPX modules and connectors, so full system signal integrity can be achieved.

Using these simulations to guide the backplane designs, Dawn engineers use back drilling to remove stubs and then layout paths to eliminate impedance discontinuities. The goal is to optimize the path among any pair of transmitting and receiving chips in the systems, so communication proceeds without cross talk or other forms of interference.

Dawn’s 598x Series VPX backplanes are designed to be compliant with the following released standards and December 2015 state of draft specifications: VITA 46.0, VITA 46.1, VITA 46.3, VITA 46.4, VITA 46.6, VITA 46.7, VITA 46.9, VITA 46.10, VITA 46.11, VITA 48.0(REDI), VITA 48.1(REDI Air Cooling), Vita 48.2(REDI Conduction Cooling) and VITA65.0 (OpenVPX) ready. VITA 68 backplane models are available on request for system simulation.

Dawn VPX-598x Series Gen3 3U OpenVPX Backplanes summary of features:

• 3U OpenVPX compliant, 1 in. pitch;
• Supporting PCIe Gen3 and 10 GbE (XAUI);
• Designed for signal integrity at up to 10.3 Gbaud performance;
• Multiple connector choices, including a high vibration option; and
• Terminal block and bus bars to facilitate any desired power supply.

Easy to configure

The VPX-598x Series offers multiple connector choices from the leading connector vendors, Tyco and EPT. Options include the Tyco MULTIGIG RT 2 and MULTIGIG RT 2-R ruggedized connectors and the EPT Velox connectors. Amphenol R-VPX or Viper connectors available on request.

Any standard power supply can be configured with the VPX-598x Series, using its available terminal block and bus bars to facilitate the power connection. The VPX-598x Series is designed to operate within standard 1101.10 3U VPX enclosures. Dawn offers a range of compliant 3U enclosures for both development and deployment.

Applications

Supporting PCIe Gen3 and 10 GbE (XAUI) and the most advanced Gen3 bandwidth module configurations, Dawn VPX-598x Series Gen3 3U OpenVPX Backplanes deliver robust signal integrity at Gen3 bandwidths with multiple connector choices, including a high vibration option. Application-specific configurations are available to support custom mission critical requirements.

Pricing and availability

Priced at $2,625.00 USD for quantity 1. Please contact factory for OEM quantities. Dawn VME Products VPX-598x Series Gen3 3U OpenVPX Backplanes are available now.
