PICMG 1.3 backplane

Major components on a PICMG 1.3 active backplane)

PICMG 1.3 is a PICMG specification which is commonly referred to as SHB Express. SHB Express is a modernization of PICMG 1.0 single board computer specification. SHB Express, or System Host Board – Express, uses the same physical form factor as PICMG 1.0 boards. The board-to-backplane interfaces are PCI Express instead of PCI and ISA, although the use of PCI remains as an option.^[1]

Key Features[]

• PCI Express: 20 PCI Express lanes including x16, x8, x4 and x1 PCI Express configuration are supported.
• PCI optional supported: 32Bit PCI Bus with up to 4 Master-capable Slots at the Backplane and with 33 MHz or optional 66 MHz. PCI-X Capabilities are also optional supported.
