While The Who sang about a bus in 1968 that transports people, digital designers use the same term for an electrical path that transports data. In modular instrument systems, buses can also transport ...

As signal data rates over system backplanes pass the 500Mbit/s level, designers need to make important decisions over the choice of bus interface for transmitting these high speed signals over ...

Mezzanine buses promise design flexibility and other compelling advantages for backplane-bus board designs. A profusion of competing alternatives, however, has diluted the buses' value. Like the ...

The Amphe-Base series connectors deliver power to backplane assemblies and bus bars. Available in two- or three-position patterns, the parts carry up to 50 A per position with 8-AWG wire and 100 A ...

B&R now offers the X2X+ backplane bus as an option, increasing the performance of the X20 system by a factor of four. And because all existing X20 I/O modules are already compatible with X2X+, all it ...

If you're like a lot of design engineers, you want to design a high-performance communications system that's scalable, supports "five-nines" high availability (HA), and is low in cost—and you need to ...

Amanufacturer in the embedded-computer industry must choose from more than 65 fabrics on a list that just keeps growing. Many of the switched-interconnect technologies use new, specialized backplanes.

For three decades, industrial PCs have used two types of internal architecture, motherboards and passive backplanes: ATX motherboards with slots for ISA, PCI and PCIe I/O extensions connected ...
