VPX Overview

VPX (VITA 46) specifications establish a new direction for the next revolution in bus boards. VPX is an ANSI
standard which breaks out from the traditional connector scheme of VMEbus to merge the latest in connector
and packaging technology with the latest in bus and serial fabric technology. VPX combines best-in-class
technologies to assure a very long technology cycle similar to that of the original VMEbus solutions. Traditional
parallel VMEbus will continue to be supported by VPX through bridging schemes that assure a solid migration
pathway.
