Elma Electronic’s 3U OpenVPX backplane aligns with The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard 1.0. The backplane is an update to Elma’s original CMOSS reference backplane supporting the U.S. Army’s latest open-standards requirements. The new backplane offers a mix of plug-in card (PIC) slots that enable complex, high-speed signal processing and system development, supporting up to 100 Gigabit Ethernet.
The SOSA aligned backplane supports high-speed signals on all the data paths as well as incorporates leading-edge VITA 67.3 connectors compatible with legacy VITA 67.1 and VITA 66.4 RF and optical I/O connectors. In addition to providing the latest optical fiber and RF connectivity, the backplane features precision network timing (PNT) plus the integration of mixed payload modules, including SBCs, switches, radial clocks, and system expansion.
