New High-Performance VME Products Using Legacy Architecture
VXS and VPX standards are currently in the media’s spotlight as they include the latest in serial interconnects like Tundra's RapidIO Switches. In 2004, a new product was introduced that increased traditional VME bandwidth by eight times. VME320 or 2eSST offers complete backward compatibility allowing new VME320 cards to plug into legacy systems and whereever two or more of these cards connect to the backplane, speed increases...

VPX: the re-evolution of VME from Radstone
VPX: is it evolution for VME or a revolution? The answer is that it’s both. It’s an evolution because it maintains electrical and software compatibility with VME - but it’s a revolution because it introduces a brand new connector, capable of supporting the serial switched fabrics that are transforming the military applications of the future. It’s an evolution because VPX boards retain the familiar physical characteristics of VME boards...

Curtiss Wright VITE 46 Reference Library
The VITA 46 advanced module format is being developed within the framework of the VITA Standards Organization by the VITA 46 Working Group. The VITA 46 format is designed to support system configurations requiring extensive serial- switched fabric interconnection along with other high-speed serial technologies such as digital video, Serial ATA, and FPGA interconnects, etc. while at the same time offering compatibility with today’s highly...

VPX @ Wikipedia
VPX, formerly known as VITA 46, is a proposed ANSI standard that provides VMEbus-based systems with support for switched fabrics over a new high speed connector. Defined by the VITA (VME International Trade Association) working group (comprising major industry organizations such as Boeing, Curtiss Wright, GE Fanuc Embedded Systems, Mercury Computer Systems and Northrop Grumman), it has been designed specifically with defense applications in...

OpenVPX Industry Working Group
The VPX Systems Specification defines an architecture that manages and constrains module and backplane designs, including defining pin outs, and sets interoperability points within VPX while maintaining full compliance with VPX. This specification, developed by VITA members and other companies working together outside of VITA, shall be introduced into the VITA Standards Organization (VSO) in October 2009 as VITA 65 for final comment, ballot,...

VPX or VITA 46 @ VITA.com
The VPX (VITA 46) standard establishes a new direction for the next revolution in bus boards. It is a proposed ANSI standard which breaks out from the traditional connector scheme of VMEbus to merge the latest in connector and packaging technology with the latest in bus and serial fabric technology. VPX combines best-in-class technologies to assure a very long technology cycle similar to that of the original VMEbus solutions. Traditional...
