New White Paper from Trenton Systems - 'Optimizing PCIe 3.0 Backplane Designs for Performance and Reliability'

As a leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance computing solutions, Trenton Systems has continued to support PCI Express, from 1.1 to 2.0 and now 3.0, also referred to as Gen3.

BPX8093 PCIe 3.0 BACKPLANE

With each generation performance has doubled. Total bandwidth for PCIe Gen3 now reaches 32GB/s, compared with just 8GB/s for PCIe 1.1.

Keen to share their knowledge with you, the team at Trenton has just released a brand new White Paper, which explores
all the issues that are critical for achieving optimal PCIe 3.0 backplane design, as well as the performance advantages and system configurability benefits that can be achieved through a proper PCIe 3.0 backplane implementation.

Topics in this whitepaper:

• PCIe 3.0 Enhanced Performance Opportunities
• High-Efficiency Encoding Scheme in PCIe 3.0
• Enhanced Transaction Layer Features
• Active Equalization Capabilities
• Active vs. Passive Approach to Design
• Jitter Control, Impedance and Signal Loss
• Real World Deployment Issues

Drawing will be held at a time TBD and the winner will be notified with their registered email address. Choice between prizes will be up to the recipient, and mailed via US postal mail.

All of the PCI Express Gen3 backplanes and single board computers designed by Trenton are made in the USA using long-life components, and carry an industry leading 5-year factory warranty.
