family, is a new series of PICMG specifications, targeted to requirements for
the next generation of carrier grade communications equipment.
PCI-ISA »
The PCI-ISA Passive
Backplane Standard was developed by PICMG member companies to adapt desktop PCI
standards for industrial applications.
PCI-PCI »
The
PCI-PCI Bridge Standard provides for a standardized way to extend the number of
PCI slots available in a passive backplane system.
PC/104
technology »
PC/104 offers full architecture, hardware, and software
compatibility with the PC bus, but in ultra-compact (3.6" x 3.8") stackable
modules. PC/104 is ideally suited to the unique requirements of embedded control
