Applications in research facilities and industry
Instrumentation standards for Physics applications began in Europe in the late 1950s and in the mid- 1960s a European-US collaboration produced the first widely accepted standard called NIM (Nuclear Instrument module), a simple packaging and signal standard for analog and fast digital logic that is still in use today. This was followed by three more increasingly powerful standards each enabled...

The adoption by experimental physics community of the Advanced Telecommunication Computing Architecture (ATCA), maintained by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG), in recent years will lead to the development of a multitude of embedded instrumentation and machine control applications. Having a set of standards and definitions will encourage hardware and software component...

Driven by the need to merge an analogue (RF) and a digital system into one single chassis DESY invented another backplane next to the AMC backplane for their MicroTCA.4 systems. In strong cooperation with other institutes and industrial partners this idea was extended and turned into a draft standard, submitted to PICMG as MTCA.4.1.
This presentation will show how the original idea of a...

New products and developments
MicroTCA is used across industry and research, as the flexibility provided by the standards is used to expand platform capabilities for new applications. This paper presents enhancements in power and connectivity, in the context of user applications that stretch the platform capability to the limit.
