BROCKTON, Mass. – Atrenne, a Celestica company in Brockton, Mass., is introducing Gen-4/5 OpenVPX backplanes for fast high-throughput embedded computing applications.

Atrenne’s Gen-4/5 OpenVPX backplanes are designed to the demanding signal integrity requirements of PCI Express Gen4 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet, and offer high signal integrity.

Atrenne stabilizes return loss, dielectric loss, skin effect loss, and crosstalk in the backplanes by using 3D electron microscopy field modeling in high-frequency structure simulator to develop accurate signal integrity models.

“As sensor inputs and signal processing demands increase, so do the data rates of serial switched fabric protocols used for OpenVPX slot-to-slot interconnect planes,” says Jim Tierney, the Atrenne vice president of defense and aerospace systems.

Atrenne’s Gen-4/5 OpenVPX systems operate on high performance VITA 46.30 MULTIGIG RT 3 connectors. Several backplane profiles are available, including pass-thru backplanes.

Atrenne also designs application-specific configurations to meet custom requirements. For more information contact Atrenne online at www.atrenne.com.
