Standard and Custom Open Architecture Backplanes Engineering and manufacturing support the design and development of backplane ® architectures including AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA, CompactPCI , VME, VME64x, ™ VXS, VPX and custom designs HARTING High Speed Backplanes

Standard and Custom Open Architecture Backplanes Open Architecture Support HARTING Integrated Solutions’ Engineering and Manufacturing support the design and development of open architecture backplanes – both standard and customized designs. These can be designed and ® built to any of the standard specifications, such as AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA, Compact PCI, VME, VME64x, VXS, VPX, etc. We also ™ work closely with our customers in the modification of standard designs, such as adding extra power slots, or using connectors with a finer pitch, non-standard plating, and different I/O pin-outs. Nevertheless,...

Design, Simulation and Modeling Design, Simulation and Modeling HARTING Integrated Solutions provides engineering, design and product development services unique in our industry for the creation of high-speed, high-performance backplanes. The first step in our Advanced Design System is the use of Cadence Allegro software to design and generate a board model for simulation testing at up to 40GHz rates. This modeling in a 3D Field Solver Software includes the actual connectors that will be used, as their pins and other physical characteristics have a huge impact on performance. We also simulate...

An important aspect of high-speed backplane design is being able to characterize performance all along the signal path. To meet this requirement, HIS backplane system modeling tools and software simulate multipoint and high-speed point-to-point bus systems and link performance, as well as doing channel modeling and compliance testing. Computer modeling characterizes electrical component capabilities, such as those uncovered by dynamic 3D FEMsimulation, SPICE/IBIS/S-parameter models, and calculation of electric fielddistribution. This software also provides accurate backplane parameter extraction...
