The TCP270 is a standard 3U CompactPCI carrier that provides front I/O and rear I/O for a single width PMC module. This PMC to 3U CompactPCI adapter is used to build modular, flexible and cost effective I/O solutions with PMC devices in CompactPCI systems.

32 bit / 33 MHz accesses are supported on the PCI bus. The TCP270 is used as a mechanical adaptor to connect a standard PMC module in 3U CompactPCI systems.

The TCP270 supports PMC front I/O and optional CompactPCI rear I/O at CompactPCI connector J2/P2. The pin assignment corresponds to the PICMG 2.3 R1.0 PMC on CompactPCI signal mapping.

The use of PMC I/O on the J2/P2 connector (TCP270-11) precludes the use of 64 bit CompactPCI backplanes.

The TCP270 carrier complies with the PICMG 2.0 Revision 3.0 CompactPCI specification.

Operating temperature range is -40 °C to +85 °C.

The TCP262 is a standard 6U CompactPCI carrier that provides front I/O and rear I/O for up to two single width PMC modules.

Based on a Texas Instruments PCI to PCI Bridge with a 32bit 66MHz primary and secondary interface, the TCP262-10R supports a 32bit 66MHz CompactPCI bus and two 32bit 66MHz PMC modules on the local PCI bus of the TCP262.

A transparent PCI to PCI Bridge is used as the PCI bridging device between the primary CompactPCI bus and the on-board secondary PCI bus where the two PMC slots reside.

The TCP262 supports standard PMC front I/O and CompactPCI rear I/O fully compatible to the TCP260. The PMC slot 2 (upper PMC) I/O lines are connected directly to the CompactPCI connector J5. The PMC slot 1 (lower PMC) I/O lines are connected directly to the CompactPCI connector J3.

Wireless Functionality

The F223 is a rugged single Eurocard CompactPCI carrier board supporting the PCI Express Mini Card standard. The standard version of the F223 offers two PCI Express Mini Card slots with USB and PCI Express connection. It allows to use all types of cards for wireless applications making it possible to extend the functionality of a CompactPCI system in the same fast and easy way as a common notebook.

It is possible to reset and power on and off the two PCI Express Mini Cards separately without having to reset the whole system.

Flexible Antenna Configuration at the Front

Different front panels are available as an accessory so that each PCI Express Mini Card can be connected to a flexible number of robust redundant external antenna connectors at the front.

Large Number of SIM Cards

Using a plug-on adapter board as many as eight additional SIM cards per PCI Express card can be implemented. Even with the adapter assembled the board still only needs a width of 4 HP. Another option is to equip the board with a USB-SIM emulator for controlling SIM cards on a central server.

For Harsh and Mobile Environments

The F223 is designed for -20 °C to +85 °C operating temperature and is conformally coated in order to be used also in harsh and mobile environments. The final environmental qualification depends on the respective cards used on the carrier.
