ADLINK Technology introduced the cPCI-A3515, the company’s first product in a new series of CompactPCI Serial processor blades. This new 3U module features an Intel Core processor and supports the CompactPCI Serial industry standard for applications requiring reliable high-speed, high-bandwidth data communications, such as railways, factory automation, and defense.

The PICMG CPCI-S.0 CompactPCI Serial standard, which evolved from the PICMG 2.0 specification, is the fastest, most versatile, most cost-effective open standard for CompactPCI (CPCI). The Serial standard is mechanically and electronically compatible with 3U and 6U euro-cards, defining an interface for high-speed switched fabrics with a star topology. Point-to-point connectors allow up to eight peripherals on one system slot without switches or bridges. Ethernet data transfer can be configured with full mesh topology, which allows up to 1000Base-T connections to all peripheral slots for redundant, safety-critical systems.

Customers may test the new serial interface on their systems by using ADLINK’s starter kit, which includes the CPU board, I/O cards, fanless chassis, backplane, and power supply.

The Serial standard extends parallel PCI with serial PCI Express, SATA, Ethernet, and USB, and supports transfer speeds up to 600 Gb/s. ADLINK’s cPCI-A3515 offers extensive data throughput options with PCIe interfaces that include one PCIe x8, two PCIe x4, and three PCIe x1. Four 6 Gb/s SATA interfaces and up to ten USB 2.0/3.0 ports are also available. Rear I/O features up to eight 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet connections to compatible backplanes, which may be either hybrid or CPCI 2.0/S.0 commercial-off-the-shelf. Front I/O includes two display ports, two USB 3.0, and two  Gigabit Ethernet ports, as well as an option for two USB 2.0, one RS-232/422/485, and one VGA port.

ADLINK’s new CompactPCI Serial processor blade features a quad-core 4th/5th generation Intel Core i7 processor with up to 16 GB dual-channel DDR3L soldered ECC-type SDRAM. The QM87 chipset with AMO EFI BIOS and 128 Mbit SPI flash memory supports Microsoft Windows 7/8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6/7.0, Windows Embedded Standard 7, VxWorks, and QnX OSes. Intel Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost Technology, VT-x, VT-D, and v-Pro Technology are also included.
