CompactPCI backplane for computer telephony

11 April 2001 Interconnection

The 173521 Erni backplane is used for CompactPCI computer systems. Its high performance features make it ideally suited for telecom and datacom. This backplane with eight slots and seven peripheral slots implements CT-bus H.110 - ECTF.

With form factor 6U dimensions are: (HxL) 262 x 203 mm. The 10-layer PCB is fully shielded for best EMC characteristics, and supply voltages are decoupled. V(I/O) is selectable - 3,3 or 5 V. The 65 W impedance is controlled impedance by stripline technology. Hot-swap features according to PICMG 2.0 R3.0 and PICMG 2.1 R1.0; clock frequency 33 MHz and full 64-bit implementation is possible. Rear I/O via P3,P4 and P5 is possible at each slot.

There are two connectors for fans - 12 V supply, and two connectors for drives 5/12 V supply. The various power supply options: 20-pin ATX connector; Faston or M4-screw connection; PICMG 2.11 R1.0 DIN style M connector. Secure separation between hazardous voltages and SELV circuit IEC 950 and ECTF H.110

Custom and semi-custom designs based on Erni's standard backplanes are possible in various configurations.
