ePCI-X / PICMG 1.2

Over the years the importance of the ISA bus has dimished. Omitting the ISA bus has offered a new freedom to manufacturers, who have responded with a variety of ISA-free products, which have mostly been single - source and incompatible with one another. Most known variants are right- or left-hand PCI-only and combinations of PCI and AGP. A new official industrial standard was needed to satisfy customer demands for an advanced, future-proof multi- source solution. The ePCI-X standard (PICMG 1.2) was adopted by the PICMG Consortium of major embedded computer suppliers in 2002.

By removing the ISA legacy and retaining the widely used full size and half size formfactors, new flexibility in functiona- lity and system-design is offered.

Kontron’s half size ePCI-X products cur- rently implement one standard 32 bit PCI bus running at 33 MHz offering the same functionality and performance as the majority of existing PICMG 1.0 products. Using the ePCI-X half size formfactor allows the definition of smaller chassis, or alternately offers more room for peri- pherals bays while staying with an exis- ting system outline.

Kontron’s full size ePCI-X products inte- grate two independent PCI buses. For the highest-performance applications, the primary bus offers 64 Bit running at up to 133 MHz. Combined with the high per- formance backplane it is possible to run for example, Matrox Odyssey XPro at 100 MHz bus-speed. This is an unmatched level of performance for a passive back- plane system. The independent secondary bus offers, at the same time, an interface to components with lower bandwidth, such as serial interfaces or industrial I/Os, without slowing down the primary bus.
