OpenVPX Backplane Fabric Mapping Modules Simplify Topology Customization
Eletter ProductDawn’s patented connector-less micro-overlays simplify and automate topology customization to quickly optimize off-the-shelf OpenVPX backplanes.
Dawn’s Fabric Mapping Modules use BGA (Ball Grid Array) substrate technology as a micro-overlay, similar in function to VME backplane overlays except FMMs can be used on VPX backplanes and are tuned for high-speed signal transmission. Fabric Mapping Modules interface a PCB based differential pair matrix with compatible Dawn backplanes, so inter-slot communications can be customized to meet unique system requirements.
The flexibility offered by the wide range of OpenVPX profiles allows designers to optimize the communication topology between slots within a system’s backplane, delivering tremendous improvements in the performance of real-time applications. Slots can be designed to accept the best I/O modules for a specific application and the number of those slots also matched to application needs.
- Off-the-shelf backplanes can be quickly customized to mission requirements.
- Optimize the communication topology between slots within a system’s backplane.
- Customize inter-slot communications to meet unique system requirements.
- Improve signal integrity between system cards beyond requirements of PCI Express, Serial Rapid I/O and 10Gbit (XAUI) Ethernet standards.
- Directly connect PCI Express or SerialRapid I/O to multiple cards or cards and switches.
- Link SATA from a CPU card to a Solid State Drive (SSD) carrier.
- Enable XMC cards to talk to other XMC cards or other I/O like PCI Express links.
- Facilitate rear backplane I/O connections and low profile connector interface systems when normal transition modules do not fit the system application envelope.
- Fabric Mapping Modules provide a natural migratory development environment for moving from the lab to the field with high speed OpenVPX backplanes.
