PICMG 1.3 Single Board Computer and Backplane Technology

The PICMG 1.3 standard represents the latest in high speed serial link bus technology. PICMG 1.3 adds PCI Express capability to the backplane, along side traditional 32/64-bit PCI. PCI Express allows the user to use high end graphics cards and RAID controllers, as well as other high speed interconnects, without having to worry about overloading the system bus and degrading the overall performance of the system.

Dual PCI Express Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Controllers

The PCI Express standard is a natural evolution of the ubiquitous PCI bus architecture. It replaces the parallel bus structure of PCI with a serial 2.5 GHz bus. Its low pin count enables a new generation of smaller form factor computing devices, while its improved speed reduces the bottlenecks typically associated with the legacy 32-bit parallel PCI bus. PCI based Gigabit Ethernet ports in the past were either overloaded or were bogged down by the PCI bus. Functioning on a PCI Express bus allows for true wire speed without creating a bottleneck in the bus for other onboard devices.

Diverse Power Supply Options

This system can be configured with many different power supply options. It can be configured with standard AC input power supplies. Or if your environment requires it, DC input power supplies are also available in 12V, 24V, and 48V input voltages.
