Backplanes
AP Labs range of high performance backplanes are compliant to the latest VMEbus specification and are suitable for multiple environmentals from the laboratory to deployment.
Value engineering, combined with improved production methods, has resulted in a range of very rugged backplanes which are competitively positioned, but still employ the quality and performance advantages associated with the latest backplane technology from a technology leader.
AP Labs VME64X backplanes incorporate a 12-layer construction, stripline design, decoupling at every slot, inboard termination, heavy power and ground planes, characteristic impedance tested via TDR, and years of experience designing, building and using backplanes in the most extreme environments.
Features
- Designed to meet ANSI/VITA 1 & 1.1
- Slot counts—3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18
- P0/J0 connectors (shrouded)
- Electronic Bus Grant (EBG)
- Active Termination for low quiescent current draw
- Optional conformal coating
Highlights
- High performance, extremely low noise
- Typical 0.190” board thickness eliminates the need for stiffeners
- 12-layer low noise stripline design with outer layers incorporating an EMI shield
- Custom backplane designs to incorporate high speed serial and switched fabric architectures available
- Custom backplanes can be designed and manufactured to IPC Class III & Mil Specs
