VPX Overview


The design of cost effective, high performance embedded computers to meet the new challenges in transport, aerospace and defense applications needed a new standard to allow COTS interoperability. Poised to become the de facto standard for Rugged and COTS computing, VPX (VITA 46) is quickly becoming a must in all large government programs worldwide.

VPX (VITA 46) specifications establish a new direction for the next revolution in bus boards. VPX is a proposed ANSI standard which breaks out from the traditional connector scheme of VMEbus to merge the latest in connector and packaging technology with the latest in bus and serial fabric technology. VPX combines best-in-class technologies to assure a very long technology cycle similar to that of the original VMEbus solutions. Traditional parallel VMEbus will continue to be supported by VPX through bridging schemes that assure a solid migration pathway.

  • VITA 46 / VPX is the future of rugged COTS computing Already mandated by large defense programs
  • Borrowing from 25 years of VME experience VPX systems withstand hardest shock and vibrations constraints
  • Designed to allow High Frequency signals VPX backplane supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe fabric, SATA
  • Leveraging the highest computing density of today silicon 3U VPX is the ideal candidate for the next 25 years of Rugged Embedded Modular Computing
