What is PISA?

The Problem
Powerful processors require powerful busses. A Pentium (R) Pro will not perform adequately with an ISA bus. The PCI bus was invented to provide high speed access between the CPU and peripherals. A problem integrating PC motherboards into embedded systems is their size. With the PCI and ISA busses arranged end-to-end, PC motherboards require full length peripheral cards.

The Solution
The PCI and ISA busses are arranged vertically within a custom connector, in a manner similar to EISA. This allows you to install an ISA CPU and upgrade in the field to PCI by simply exchanging CPU cards.

The Advantages

* PCI and ISA bus are available for space critical applications
* The operation of ISA CPU cards in PISA systems is possible
* The size of the passive backplane reduces to half (or less) in comparison to the PICMG concept
* You gain a space advantage and a lower price on the backplane
* The length of the signal paths reduces dramatically in comparison to the PICMG concept. This results in lower EMC emission/radiation.
* Future expansion to 64-bit PCI bus is possible
