Hi Marko5211,

Regarding your inquiry "Will be able to communicate with 6 eurocards in DIN41612 if there is 10 inch lenght on backplane?", I think it is recommended to perform signal integrity simulation with IBIS model or Hspice model to evaluate if the input and output specs of CIV and eurocards are met. If specs are violated, then it is unlikely that the interface will work.

You can find the IBIS model at https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/board-layout-test/ibis/ibs-ibis_index.html and HSPICE model at https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/board-layout-test/hspice.html
