StarFabric Features & Benefits
Standards Based
The StarFabric architecture is designed according to standards to ensure full com-
patibility with legacy PCI systems. StarFabric’s design complies with the PCI Local
Bus Specification, Revision 2.2, and the PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specifica-
tion, Revision 1.1.
It also complies with the IEEE 1596.3 and TIA/EIA-644 Low-Voltage Differential
Signaling (LVDS) standards
StarFabric also supports PICMG 2.17, which routes StarFabric connections within
a standard CompactPCI platform, so StarFabric provides a high performance, reli-
able, and scalable point-to-point interconnect for heavy-duty, telecommunications
applications.
