In this presentation, discuss a new 2mm hard metric (HM) connector that has been designed for speed and performance of next generation CompactPCI
backplane applications while still supporting legacy equipment, which is compliant with PICMG 2.30.
In December 2009 PICMG announced the adoption of the PICMG 2.30 specification, called CompactPCI PlusIO. This new specification adds PCIExpress, Ethernet, SATA, SAS and USB extensions to the CompactPCI family of specifications while preserving PCI bus connectivity. The specification defines the use of previously reserved rear I/O pins for the 32- bit CompactPCI system slot with new high-speed serial signals to preserve interoperability with existing CompactPCI standards.
