Extending the power of CompactPCI systems
Charlie walks us through a set of options designers now have as two new PICMG draft specifications affecting high-speed I/O in CompactPCI-based systems near completion. This article focuses on the Ultra Hard Metric (UHM) socket connector from 3M. For more on this connector and the new draft specifications, see Pairing CompactPCI compatibility with high-speed serial data transfer, also in this issue.

In-flight entertainment: Designers get on board with COMs and CompactPCI
David and Christine point out that engineers working with 3U CompactPCI and targeting applications such as In-flight personal video screens, video games, destination maps, Internet access, and interactive seat-to-seat messaging, must deal with the challenges of restricted space, thermal requirements, shock and vibration, and altitude considerations – and handle all these a cost-effective, high availability solution.

CompactPCI solution targets rugged apps
Jeff walks us through the features of a processor board design that was the result of efforts to stay within a desired thermal envelope yet boost performance. One of the challenges in the architecture and design of CompactPCI processor board is staying within a “reasonable” thermal envelope. In general, “reasonable” is something under 50 W. Developers know, of course, what is available in their local computer stores, and have an expectation...
