 Vendors push for backplane interface spec
The newly launched Higher-Speed Backplane Initiative (HSBI) is developing a two-pronged specification to define signaling on a purely physical layer and protocol interfaces on the physical-coding sublayer, in hopes of easing development of standards centered on 5 Gbits/second.
Rogers said that although TI's customers are confused by the proliferation of bus and interconnect standards operating at Layer 2 and higher, they are rallying around the idea of a common backplane effort operating at physical layer and physical-coding sublayer (PCS).
The founders believed it was important that the PCS effort allow existing protocols, such as Sonet/SDH and 8B/10B encoding, to be mapped into the HSBI interface.
