RTD: Leading the Industry New? But this looks familiar… You are absolutely right: the PCI/104-Express connector seamlessly integrates into current PC/104 architectures. The PCI/104-Express spec preserves the hallmarks of PC/104: compact size, self-stacking expansion, rugged connectors, four-corner mounting holes, and full PC compatibility. PCI/104-Express provides transition from legacy PCI to PCIe, while leveraging the broad market of available PC/104, PC/104-Plus and PCI-104 hardware and software. Fast data transfer, high reliability, and long-term sustainability: welcome to the growing family of PC/104.

“Accessing the Analog World” The key to rugged PC/104 Express architectures is the bus configuration, the connector design, and the add-on card interchangeability. In 2007, RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc. and Samtec Inc. allocated substantial engineering and financial resources to modify the high speed, rugged Q2 connector pair for the 104, EPIC and EBX form factors of the PC/104 Consortium PC/104 standard 0.600 inch and 22 mm stacking heights. Four x1 links have the bandwidth to handle many applications. What do you do if you need more than four x1 devices? How do you meet the requirements of multiple high bandwidth PCI Express devices such as high-end graphics, powerful Virtex FPGA engines, advanced DSP architectures, and 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet to name a few? Ultimately, the ability to expand through a x16 PCI Express link is an imperative for stackable PC system configurations. RTD’s innovative expressMate modules (see page 13) take advantage of the x16 link to break the current 6 board PCIe/104 and 4 board PCI-104 stack height limits. The expressMate modules use the x16 link to repopulate the x1 links and allow for additional x4, x8, and x16 links, add PCIe-PCI bridge, enable PCIe peer-to-peer communication, and provide redundant fail-over processing for PCIe/104 and PCI/104-Express applications.

Right: ISA, PCI & PCIe connectors. PCI/104-Express Connector Overview Excerpt from an article by Jim Blazer, RTD Chief Technology Officer, published in COTS Journal Incorporating the PCI Express bus within the industry-proven PC/104 form factor brings many advantages to users including fast data transfer due to express technology, low cost due to PC/104’s unique self-stacking bus, high reliability due to PC/104’s inherent ruggedness, and long-term sustainability. The 68-member consortium chose PCI Express as its new standard for embedded applications because of its full PC market adoption, performance, scalability, and growing silicon availability worldwide. It provides a new high-performance physical interface while retaining software compatibility with existing PCI infrastructure. Twenty-two member companies participated in the PCI/104-Express specification development. The PC/104 Embedded Consortium adopted the PCI/104-Express specification by member vote in March 2008. In defining an addition of PCI Express to PC/104, the consortium board aimed to preserve the attributes that have made PC/104 so successful in embedded applications. The PCI/104-Express module size, like others in the PC/104 family, is a compact 3.6 by 3.8 inch (90 x 96 mm). The boards self-stack so stacks can expand without backplanes or card cages. Rugged, reliable connectors ensure reliability in harsh environments, and four corner mounting holes increase resistance to shock and vibration. Full PC compatibility reduces end-user development costs and improves their time-to-market. In addition, the PC/104 Embedded Consortium RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc. | 2010 Product Guide 9
