Revision of Existing Standard

Under ANSI and VITA rules every 5 years an approved standard must be reaffirmed, revised, placed in stabilized maintenance or withdrawn.  Existing standards can also be revised as needed at any time.  This standard has been revised; hence it has been put forth for approval of the revisions.

Consensus body registration for voting to approve this revised standard is now open.

The VITA 65.x working group has completed the two drafts and has voted to take these draft through to the VITA public review approval process for eventual ANSI approval.

DRAFT/VITA 65.0-2023x OpenVPX System Standard

Abstract : The OpenVPX System Standard was created to bring versatile system architectural solutions to the VPX market. Based on the extremely flexible VPX family of standards, the OpenVPX standard uses Plug-In Module mechanical, connectors, thermal, communications protocols, utility, and power definitions provided by specific VITA standards to define a series of Slot, Backplane, Module, and Standard Development Chassis Profiles. This revision adds additional profiles, additional communication protocols, higher speed copper connectors, and a new naming methodology for Module Profiles.

DRAFT/VITA 65.1-2023x OpenVPX System Standard – Profile Tables

Abstract : This standard documents variations of Slot, Backplane, and Modules Profiles. As part of the Slot Profile Description, there are also some Connector Modules defined. This document is primarily tables which are referenced by VITA 65.0. This revision adds additional profiles, additional communication protocols, higher speed copper connectors, and a new naming methodology for Module Profiles.
