cPCIBPMC6UET - cPCI to PMC Adapter / Carrier


cPCIBPMC6UET cPCI and PMC Compatible Adapter Carrier (Front View)



By customer request Dynamic Engineering has developed two extended temperature versions of the popular cPCIBPMC design. The design effort included switching to a new bridge to meet the temperature and timing requirements. The new bridge brings new features including the ability to operate the PMC side at a higher clock rate than the cPCI side. The new bridge also has built in features for local address spaces, using the PMC clock in monarch mode for the secondary side, and operating in transparent or non-transparent modes. The designs are ready for all of your PMC applications.

The first design cPCIBPMC3U64ET is a 3U 4HP version with one PMC slot. The 6U version has both PMC IO connectors routed with equal length traces to J3 and J5. A PIM Carrier is available for the 6U model to support rear panel IO.

The cPCIBPMC6UET ( cPCI to PMC ) adapter / carrier converter card provides the ability to install a PMC cards into a standard cPCI slot. The cPCIBPMC6UET has two PMC card slota mounted to a universal voltage 6U 4HP cPCI card. Suitable for 32/64 with 33/ 66 MHz bus operation. The 6U card is wired for 64 bit PCI operation with pull-ups on the control lines to allow use in a 32 bit system. The PMC bezel connectors are mounted though the cPCI mounting bracket. The cPCIBPMC6UET is an extended temperature design. -40C to +85C standard. Conformal Coating is an option.

The PCI bus is interconnected to the PMC via 64 bit 66 MHz capable layout. The slower and more narrow device will determine the interface characteristics. The supplied dip-switch is used to control the bridge configuration. The user can select the clock rate, [33/66] on both buses and has access to the GPIO bits. PME and the Interrupt request lines are routed from the PMCs to the cPCI connector.

The PCI VIO is interconnected to the primary side of the bridge. The secondary side of the bridge has programmable VIO allowing 5V PMCs to be used in 3V systems and vice-versa. The voltage select pins are not installed on the cPCIBPMC6UET. The bridge will automatically adapt to the PCI bus reference voltage. Many PMCs are universal and can work with 3.3 or 5V cPCI backplanes. The secondary side has a shunt for the user to select 5V or 3V operation.

The cPCIBPMC6UET follows the PMC specs for maximum power consumption and heat dissipation. The power is routed from the cPCI to PMC connectors with mini-planes each of which is rated for more than the maximum PMC draw. 3.3, 5, VIO, +12, -12

The cPCIBPMC3U64ET has a low internal power dissipation. The dissipation is a function of the frequency and load from the installed PMC's. The bridge uses 1W at 66 MHz and less at 33 MHz. The terminations contribute additional dissipation for a total of less than 1.2W at 66 MHz with a 64 bit implementation. Please add your PMC requirements to the 1.2W figure for total power utilized in the slot.

    cPCIBPMC6UET Benefits

  • Speed
    		•  The bridge allows for isolation and for differing clock rates on the cPCI backplane and the PMC. The PMC can operate at speeds above, the same or below the cPCI clock rate. The local oscillator can be selected when the PMC is to be operated at a rate higher than the cPCI bus rate. The PMC can also operate at a different bus width with the bridge doing the clock and rate matching.

  • Price
    		•  The cPCIBPMC6UET represents a cost effective solution to putting extended temperature PMCs into cPCI environments. Make use of existing PMC designs in cPCI applications without paying for the expense of a new design and layout. Quantity discounts are available.
