Pixus Technologies has announced a new C5ISR Modular Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and SOSA development backplane that supports various I/O intensive, compute intensive, switches, PNT slots and VITA 62 PSU slots.
The 8-slot development backplane only has the utility plane routed (including power, ground, SMbus, clock and utility signals). This allows a versatile range of plug-in card configurations to be utilized. Three of the slots have cutouts for VITA 67.3c interfaces and one slot has a VITA 67.3d cutout. The unit can be purchased in an open frame, rackmount/desktop, or other chassis format along with a Pixus SOSA aligned Tier 3 chassis manager development kit, which cables to the backplane.
Pixus offers various OpenVPX backplane/chassis systems in commercial, development and MIL rugged formats. The company also provides IEEE and Eurocard components for the embedded computer market.
