Elma Bustronic Corporation, an industry leading designer and manufacturer of high performance backplanes has upgraded its 2-slot ATCA backplane to include pluggable shelf management connectors.

The 2-slot ATCA backplane now features standard MicroTCA connectors used for connections to Elma’s IPM Sentry shelf manager. The small and dense connector minimizes the space used on the backplane, allowing it to fit inside a 2U enclosure. Compliant to the latest PICMG 3.0 specification, the backplane also has connectors for SHMC, power entry, Sense, I2C Bus, Ring, and more.

With a 10-layer controlled-impedance stripline design, the 2-slot ATCA backplane utilizes point-to-point serial connections. Signal integrity studies confirm superior performance of the board. Bustronic also offers ATCA backplanes in 5, 6, and 14-slot Mesh configurations and a 14-slot Dual Star design.
