CompactPCI® PlusIO
CompactPCI® PlusIO (PICMG® 2.30) is an
enhancement to CompactPCI® Classic which
enables system expansion and rear I/O across
J2. High speed signal lines (PCI Express®, SATA
and USB) are passed from the PC7-FESTIVAL
via the J2 connector to the backplane, for
usage either with a PlusIO rear I/O transition
module, or recent CompactPCI® Serial cards.
CompactPCI® Serial (PICMG® CPCIS.0) defines
a card slot based on PCI Express®, SATA,
Gigabit Ethernet and USB serial data lines. On
a hybrid backplane, both card styles
CompactPCI® and CompactPCI® Serial can
reside, with the PC7-FESTIVAL in the middle as
controller for both backplane segments,
combining the technologies of both worlds.
New from PCB Rev.2022 off: Expansion Connector GBE for passing 2 x 2.5GBASE-T to J2, as an
option with P82 low profile mezzanine module.
