Are CompactPCI products expensive?
No. Even though they offer unprecedented performance, they are based on broadly available silicon implementation produced in very high volume. This high volume silicon has the highest performance/price ratio available because of the economies of scale. Additionally, because the PCI bus is not terminated, no external bus drivers are required to interface a PCI peripheral. An Ethernet controller, for example, connects directly from the leads of the controller chip on to the PCI connector. CompactPCI products are typically priced below equivalent VME product but slightly above desktop PCI products.
