Call for Participation

VITA is accepting registrations to be a member of a public review VITA Consensus Body for voting to revise this standard. You do not have to be a VITA member to participate in this Consensus Body.  VITA members with active Workspace profiles should sign up in Workspace.

VITA Members can sign up for free (while logged into their account) while non-members must pay a nominal fee to participate. The response deadline to register for this consensus body is: August 30, 2024

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ANSI and VITA rules every 5 years an approved standard must be reaffirmed, revised, placed in stabilized maintenance or withdrawn. This standard has been revised; hence it has been put forth for approval of the revisions. The VITA 68 working group has completed the draft and has voted to take this draft through to the VITA public review approval process for eventual ANSI recognition.

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

DRAFT/VITA 68,1-202x - VPX Compliance Channel - Fixed Signal Integrity Budget Standard

Abstract: This standard defines a VPX compliance channel fixed signal Integrity budget including module performance criteria and common backplane performance criteria required to support multiple fabric types across a range of defined baud rates. This allows backplane developers to design a VITA 68.1 compliant backplane that supports required bit error rates (BER) for multiple fabric types when used with modules that are compliant to VITA 68.1 budget criteria. This also allows module developers to design VITA 68.1 compliant Plug-In Modules that are interoperable with other VITA 68.1 compliant modules when used with a VITA 68.1 compliant backplane. VITA 68.1 defines a single budget encompassing modules and backplanes at various baud rates, with a "large system budget" that supports interoperability of VITA 68.1 compliant modules with any VITA 68.1 compliant backplane, including large slot count backplanes with relatively long traces. VITA 68.1 is part of the VITA 68.x family of standards for signal integrity compliance of VPX systems and components. Please refer to VITA 68.0 for an overview of the VITA 68.x family of standards.

Stabilized Maintenance of Existing Standard

Under ANSI rules after 5 years of a standard being reaffirmed, a standard may enter a 10 year stabilized maintenance period. There have been no requests for revision or errata for this standard in question, hence it is recommended that it be maintained in stabilized maintenance state.

Voter registration for voting for ANSI recognition of the following standards for the stabilized maintenance (SM) process is now open:

ANSI/VITA 60-2012(R2018) - Alternative Connector for VPX

Abstract: This standard provides an alternate connector to the one specified in the VITA 46.0 VPX Baseline Standard. Because the VITA 46.0 and the VITA 60.0 connectors are not intermateable, a VITA 60.0 module will not plug into a VITA 46.0.0 backplane and vice versa. However, the VITA 60.0 standard provides VPX users with the flexibility to choose a VPX module and backplane connector combination for their specific application requirements.

Reaffirmation of Approved Standard

Under ANSI/VITA rules, every 5 years an approved standard must be reaffirmed, revised, or withdrawn.  The VSO by ballot feels that the following standard continues to be relevant to our community and is free from significant errors. Therefore, the VSO by ballot has recommended that this standard be reaffirmed.

Consensus body registration for voting on ANSI reaffirmation of this standard is now open.

ANSI/VITA 51.2-2016 - Physics of Failure Reliability Predictions
Abstract: This standard provides standard processes, instructions and default parameters for using the Physics of Failure (PoF) approach for modeling the reliability of electronic products. It includes a discussion of the philosophy, context for use, definitions, models for key failure mechanisms, definition of the input data required, default values if technically feasible or the typical range of values as a guideline. It defines how modeling results are interpreted and used. It requires the documentation of modeling inputs, assumptions made during the analysis, modifications to the models and rationale for the analysis.
