Description
The Elma Bustronic 14-slot Dual Star AdvancedTCA (ATCA) backplanes are
compliant to the PICMG 3.0 Rev.1.0 specication. The experts in high-speed
differential pair routing, Elma Bustronics ATCA backplanes have been simulated
and characterized by our signal integrity lab to optimize performance.

Performance
The theoretical performance of the 14-slot Dual Star ATCA Backplanes is a transfer rate of 10 Gb/s from each slot to each switch.
The speed performance of AdvancedTCA depends quite a bit on the fabric that runs over the architecture. With the new blade sizes and bandwidth capabilities of the
fabrics, the performance of these systems will hit Gigabyte/Terabyte per second bandwidth across each shelf. The chosen ZD connector, is capable of handling 5 Gbps
speeds over standard FR-4 PCB material.
Slot Positioning
Dual Star Backplanes and frames require installation of Fabric Boards to provide connectivity between Node Boards. PICMG 3.0 re quires Fabric Boards to be installed
into the lowest numbered Logical Slots (e.g. Slots 1 & 2). PICMG 3.0 systems may, however, have Fabric Slots/Boards located in any physical slot position. To facilitate
system conguration, the Chassis FRU ROM is required to provide a mapping of Logical Slot positions to Physical slot positions.
Through simulation/characterization studies from Bustronics signal integrity lab, we have found that placing the hub slots inthe middle of the backplane generally
generates the best results. For more info on Bustronics simulation studies for ATCA, contact Elma Bustronic.
Update Channel Connections
The update channel connections for the 14-slot Dual Star backplanes are 1-4, 2-3, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-14, 12-1 3.

14-Slot Dual Star AdvancedTCA Backplane Information
The serial links for Base Interface, Fabric Interface and Update Channel Interface
are routed as edge coupled differential strip lines having an impedance of 100
ohms 10%.
The Telephony Clock Interface is implemented as a MLVDS bussed clock.
The differential lines for Synchronization Clock Interface are terminated at
each end with SMD resistors (case 0603) that are mounted directly to the
backplane.
The serial links for Synchronization Clock Interface are routed as edge coupled
differential strip lines having an impedance of 130 ohms 10%.
The Hardware Address pins of each physical slot are connected to GND or left
open, depending on the logical slot related to each physical slot. In this stage,
these connections are made by using a jumper eld with 8 positions for each slot.
The seven bits that determine the Hardware Address are congured as follows:
