Multi-Gigabit AdvancedTCA Design Architectures

This is an informative article regarding multi-gigabit AdvancedTCA design architecture choices, pros and cons. 




Design Whitepaper from F9 Systems and NESA - August 2007F9 Systems and NESA have developed a newsletter-like format that discusses ATCA design considerations.  The August 2007 version addresses multi-gigabit ATCA design architectures and featues as well as a methodology on how to eliminate ATCA thermal failures.

"Design of Multi-Gigabit ATCA Backplanes and Logic Card Interfaces"ATCA 2005 Summit Presentation by Dr. Edward P. Sayre, NESA

Abstract:  The design and qualification of multi-Gigabit ATCA and MicroTCA backplanes is a complex process.  As the ATCA specification is presently written, the interconnects are defined in terms of the logical slot numbering, which permits various physical configurations.  Two architectures supported by the ATCA specification are single or redundant switch-centric and full or partial meshes.  This presentation focuses on the interconnect design of various ATCA backplane architectures.  For simplicity, switch architectures will be emphasize but the principles will apply to mesh architectures as well.


ATCA Signal Integrity AnalysisAbstract:  This is a detailed technical review of  the Tx/Rx SignalBlade and its signal integrity analysis properties as they relate to Advanced TCA.
