‘Backplanes’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Agilent offers jitter tolerance test solution from
Agilent Technologies Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Agilent Technologies has released a four-tap de-emphasis signal converter N4916B, an ultra-flexible SSC injection and a SATA ISI channel to its J-Bert N4903B high-performance serial Bert. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Hima-Sella simplifies Syngenta production line from
Hima-Sella: "Hima-Sella has won a contract to manufacture power and distribution panels, within weeks of securing the initial order for instrument racks for a production-line expansion project. ".
In October 2007, we covered the news from IEI Technology Corp
- take a look at Quad core platforms suit multitasking
which says: "The Intel Q965 Express chipset integrated on all IEI quad-core platforms is interfaced to an 8Mbyte L2 cache Intel Core 2 Quad processor through a 1066MHz front side bus".
Take a look also at the news release from Amplicon, Industrial computers are ready for Windows Vista,
as well as Industrial computer expansion at Electronica from Amplicon,
and Flagship industrial PC gains dual-core CPU from Amplicon.
