Standard Serial Backplanes Dominate New Designs

摘要

Standard board form factors typically support parallel and serial interfaces. But as their availability grows, they're gently nudging out the older standards. It's likely that your current designs have you pushing the proverbial envelope. If so, then high-speed serial interfaces are the way to go. Their overall bandwidth beats their parallel counterparts. Also, the newer technologies offer plenty of other benefits, such as lower pin counts and hot-swap support.
