Slot Computing - Single Board Computers

Slot (SBC) Based Computing

The various designs offered in the Slot Computing boards category are all based on the open PICMG standards set which describes how the ISA, PCI & PCI-ISA  data structure makes its way from the SBC / CPU Board to the Passive Backplane.

While ISA Bus products predate the PICMG standard and are a legacy bus that is a simplistic parallel connection of IO connectors, PICMG brings in the sophistication of the marriage of ISA and PCI into a common form factor plus PICMG allows for bridging of the PCI bus, allowing users to add up to 17 PCI boards to a single system. 

There is a PICMG variant that allows for a Half Sized PCI only board for situations where ISA bus expansion is not required.

The PICMG full size boards are available in either 32-bit or 64-bit (high bandwidth) designs and high performance devices. All of these slot based SBCs are ideally suited for application in compact and rugged enclosures suited for mission-critical applications in harsh environments.

This category features Half Sized ISA and PCI bus SBCs as well as Full Length PICMG class boards.
