Pci Backplane Board

A Freescale Power-PC MPC8548 supported by 400MHz DDR2 RAM makes this 32-bit, 1.3 GHz processor a performance champion. 48 Lanes of PCI Express peripheral support add fat-pipe I/O support. Communications use both Gigabit Ethernet Base and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fabric backplane Zone 2 connectivity. Customized Zone 3 RTM Connectivity provides the unique support our client requires.

Renesas SH8-based IPMI resource management supports over 200 Watts of on-board hot-swap power control making this ATCA Blade highly reliable.

48 Lanes of distributed PCI Express peripheral I/O provide high data throughput between the Freescale Power-PC MPC8548 Processor, the individual AMC Cards and the ATCA Backplane. PCI Express switching technology from PLX permits highly flexible PCI Express configurations among RTM, Card Slots and backplane.

Electronics technology, the most powerful tool known to modern man, continues to evolve. Higher speed. Tighter integration. Enhanced functionality. Lower power consumption. Greater reliability. Increased testing requirements. Today's electronics product designer faces an array of product choices from vendors such as Altera, AMD, Intel, Cypress, Lattice, Motorola, Microchip, National Semiconductor, ST Microelectronics, Xilinx and many others. Shrinking product development cycles coupled with demanding product requirements can overwhelm a design team.

At Orchid Technologies we specialize in custom electronic product design. Years of successful electronic product development for a diverse group of nationwide OEM clients has made the engineers at Orchid an expert team. Expert at making performance-driven, cost-effective, manufacturable technology choices. Our experience and expertise are available to assist you.

Orchid Technologies' three phased electronic product development approach is the key to your success. We start with Phase Zero—discovery and planning:

Phase Zero: Orchid reviews your product design requirements in detail. Working with your requirements and concerns, we create a Phase One Development Plan which includes: Top-Level Specification, Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) Cost Model, Prototype Cost Model, and Development Schedule all at the Phase One level.

Phase One: Orchid executes the Phase One Development Plan. During this phase, Orchid performs detailed design, fabrication, assembly, checkout and debug tasks. The purpose of the Phase One period is to produce and deliver a number of prototype units as defined in the Phase One Development Plan.

Phase Two: Orchid and the client test and rework the Phase One design, readying it for volume production. Practical experience shows that product changes are inevitable. The Phase Two period addresses those final changes which result from product redefinition, checkout, debug, testing, and production/process related activities.
