Emerson’s Katana3752 is a real-time processing blade in a standard single-slot CompactPCI Packet Switched Backplane (cPSB) form factor. It’s powered by three IBM 750GX processor complexes, which deliver exceptional performance for complex real-time tasks. To optimize overall performance, the board uses Ethernet for the data plane and PCI as a control plane.

Communications applications are rapidly converging on packet-based architectures. The Katana3752’s design is ideally suited to this paradigm. Its data plane features packet-based communication both on-card between the processors and offcard to other blades. It is fully compliant with PICMG 2.16 cPSB specification.

To facilitate efficient management of the packet interfaces, the product features an advanced managed Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch. This offloads packet processing from other sub-system elements, greatly increasing the throughput of the entire system. The use of the on-card GbE switch completely eliminates the packet routing processor overhead of traditional architectures.

Using an off-the-shelf processor blade saves you time-to-market by allowing you to focus your engineering efforts on the key value-added portions of the system without spending time and effort on the processor design and testing. A processor subsystem blade also lowers your lifetime cost of ownership by providing an easy upgrade path, and protecting you from obsolescence issues.
