Defining Standards

VITA 60 standardizes a ruggedized alternative for VPX applications
As standardization of high-speed interconnect systems converges with the increased demands of military and aerospace applications, the need for more advanced technology in a ruggedized package has been highlighted. To meet this technology gap, VITA 60 (Alternative Connector on VPX) was launched to define a new interconnect platform consistent with the evolving VITA 46 (VPX) form factor yet designed and tested for more ruggedized environments.

VITA 68 allows a common backplane design for multiple fabric protocols
The recent VITA 68 working group defines backplane performance requirements for different baud rates so any fabric protocol can be supported.

VITA 41 (VXS) plays a key role in the VITA ecosystem
VITA 41 (VXS) is a vital player in the VITA ecosystem, but why?
-
VITA 53 standardizes obsolescence data gathering on COTS products
While assembly-level information for COTS systems is integral in managing obsolescence, this kind of insight was not available before the VITA 53 (Commercial Technology Market Surveillance) standard was born.

VITA 62 brings COTS power supplies to VPX
The nascent VITA 62 standard aims to support VITA 46 (VPX) by defining electrical and mechanical requirements for COTS power supply modules.

VITA 57 (FMC) opens the I/O pipe to FPGAs
PMCs and XMCs enable carrier cards to be personalized with the required I/O interfaces, and now FPGAs are following suit via the VITA 57 FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) standard: the first open standard I/O mezzanine module for FPGAs.
