Trends
in Modular Systems
Presentation for
Boards & Solutions Conference
This
keynote covers the trends in well-known modular system standards. Examples will
show the move from parallel busses, through mixed ‘parallel-serial’ connections,
to purely serial standards. PCI, CompactPCI, CompactPCI PlusIO and CompactPCI
Serial will serve as examples.

PICMG CompactPCI Serial specification
PICMG has released the CompactPCI Serial CPCI-S.0 R1.0 specification which defines a modular computer system, consisting of
a
backplane
a system slot
up to 24 peripheral boards
CompactPCI Serial defines the support of PCI Express, SATA/SAS, USB and Ethernet, concurrently. PCI Express, SATA/SAS and USB are arranged as a simple star architecture. Ethernet is a full mesh. Switch boards are not required and therefore not described. To support the high-speed serial interfaces a connector is introduced which is compatible to [IEEE1101].
