CompactPCI backplanes

CompactPCI buses from nVent are proven, standard system solutions for building modular industrial, telecommunications, and measurement computers. Thanks to their versatility and availability in various configurations, they are ideal for applications requiring reliability and extensive expansion options.

The CompactPCI system is based on proven PCI technology adapted to industrial environments using 19-inch rack cabinets. It supports both 32- and 64-bit buses, with configurable 1 to 8 slots and adjustable V(I/O) voltage.

Key features:

  • Board height: 3 U (32/64-bit) and 6 U (64-bit)
  • Number of slots: 1 to 8
  • Clock frequency: up to 66 MHz (for 5 slots), up to 33 MHz (for 6–8 slots)
  • System slot location: on the right or left side
  • I/O voltage: +3.3 V or +5 V (adjustable)
  • Compliance with standards: PICMG CompactPCI

The modular approach of CompactPCI allows for easy integration with other systems, as well as the implementation of hot-swap and redundant power supplies, making this technology extremely durable and flexible.
