The BPG7087 PCI Express backplane is an ideal building block for military computers, industrial automation, video wall controllers and GPU computing solutions. This backplane supports one PICMG® 1.3 single board computer and up to ten PCI Express I/O cards. Each option card slot uses a x16 PCIe mechanical connector to maximize system design flexibility by supporting a wide range of standard PCI Express I/O cards.

The BPG7087 PCI Express backplane features four x16 PCI Express electrical interface links that enable system designers to support multiple high-end video or GPU cards in a single rackmount computer system. The other six option card slots use x16 PCIe mechanical connectors driven with x4 PCIe electrical links when using a single-processor TSB7053 single board computer or a dual-processor BXT7059 SBC with either SBC using the optional IOB33 expansion module.

PCIe links integrated into the CPUs on both of these SBCs automatically match an option card’s PCI Express link type and speed via the interface’s built-in auto-training capability. This SBC and backplane design feature maximizes system flexibility by enabling system support for standard PCI Express 3.0, 2.0 or 1.1 option cards having various PCIe electrical interfaces such as x16, x8, x4 and x1 PCIe links.
