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.

Performance Specifications

Acromag’s carrier boards provide full data access to the IP module’s I/O, ID, interrupt spaces, and memory. With full access to the programmable registers, you can easily configure and control the operation of the IP modules from the CompactPCI bus.

Up to two interrupt requests are supported for each IP module. All board interrupts are mapped to PCI bus INTA# signal.

Individual passive filters on each IP power supply line provide optimum filtering and noise isolation between the IP modules and the carrier board.

IP Compliance (ANSI/VITA 4): Meets IP specs per ANSI/VITA 4-1995 (8MHz and 32MHz) and IP I/O mapping to PICMG 2.4 R1.0.

Electrical/mechanical interface: Supports single or double size IP modules. 32-bit IP modules are not supported.

IP Module I/O space, ID space, INT space, and MEM space supported.

Interrupts: Supports two interrupt requests per IP module and interrupt acknowledge cycles via access to IP INT space.

CompactPCI bus Compliance: Meets PCI spec. V2.1 and PICMG 2.0, R2.1.

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

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.
