AcPC4620E: Non-intelligent 6U cPCI PMC Carrier, Air-cooled

Two PMC module slots. Front or rear access I/O. Plug-and-play carrier configuration and interrupt support.

This board provides an easy and low cost solution that enables use of a PMC mezzanine I/O module in a standard 6U CompactPCI computer system. The carrier card acts simply as an adapter to route PCI bus signals to and from the PMC module through the CompactPCI card slot edge connector. All Acromag PMC modules and those from other vendors are supported.

This board uses a PLX Technology PCI6540 transparent PCI/PCI bridge for data transactions from the PCI bus (system host) to two PMC sites. The bridge device provides a 32 or 64-bit PCI interface with 33 or 66MHz bus frequencies.

Front and rear-panel access to field I/O signals are accommodated. The carrier card’s front panel cut-out provides access to a PMC module’s front I/O connector. Alternatively, all I/O signals can be routed through the carrier card’s rear J3 and J5 connectors.

An air-cooled rear transition board, Acromag Model TRANS-C4620, maps the field I/O on the PMC module to the rear of the CompactPCI system.

Features and Benefits:
6U CompactPCI card
Holds two PMC cards
32 or 64-bit PCI Interface at 33 or 66 MHz
Transparent PCI/PCI bridge for data transactions from the PCI bus to PMC module
Rear connection I/O access
Supports both 5V and 3.3V signalling
-40 to 85°C

AcPC4620CC: Non-intelligent 6U cPCI PMC Carrier, Conduction-cooled

Two PMC module slots. Front or rear access I/O. Plug-and-play carrier configuration and interrupt support.

This board provides an easy and low cost solution that enables use of a PMC mezzanine I/O module in a standard 6U CompactPCI computer system. The carrier card acts simply as an adapter to route PCI bus signals to and from the PMC module through the CompactPCI card slot edge connector. All Acromag PMC modules and those from other vendors are supported.

This board uses a PLX Technology PCI6540 transparent PCI/PCI bridge for data transactions from the PCI bus (system host) to two PMC sites. The bridge device provides a 32 or 64-bit PCI interface with 33 or 66MHz bus frequencies.

A heat frame enables conduction cooling in applications where ambient or forced air can’t provide adequate cooling. This unit is ideal for airborne systems, deployment in battleground equipment, and other situations with advanced thermal management requirements. Field I/O signals are routed through the carrier card’s rear J3 and J5 connectors.

An air-cooled rear transition board, Acromag Model TRANS-C4620, maps the field I/O on the PMC module to the rear of the CompactPCI system.

AcPC8625A: Nonintelligent 6U cPCI IP Carrier

• Four IP module slots
• Rear access I/O
• Plug-and-play carrier configuration and interrupt support

The AcPC8625A is a nonintelligent slave board that interfaces four IP modules to the CompactPCI (cPCI) bus. All 200 I/O points are brought out the rear J4 and J5 connectors. This convenience eliminates messy cables from hanging out the front of the cage. In addition to a more efficient cage wiring design, it is also much easier to insert and replace boards. And with Acromag’s 80mm transition module (TRANS-C200), all 200 I/O points are easily ported out the back of the cage.

Features & Benefits

• Four industry-standard IP module slots
• Board resides in memory space
• Supports IP module I/O, ID, INT and MEM spaces
• 200 I/O points with rear access
• High-density rear connectors
• Compatible with all CompactPCI CPUs
• Plug-and-play carrier configuration and interrupt support
• Two interrupts per IP module
• Front panel LEDs
• Supervisory circuit for reset generation
• Individually filtered and fused power to each IP
• Ruggedized with ESD strip and EMC front panel
• Easily integrate IPs with your software using RTOS VxWorks, Linux, or Win DLL for Windows® 2000/XP/Vista/7 32-bit systems
