PMC2PCI
PMC to PCI Adapter / Carrier





The PMC2PCI ( PMC to PCI ) adapter / carrier converter card provides the ability to install a PCI card into a standard PMC slot. The PMC2PCI has two PCI card slots mounted to a PMC card. One slot can be used at a time with the choice of 3V or 5V IO and 32 or 64 bit data paths.

The PCI bus is buffered with 10 ohm series resistors and clamped with Schotky diodes. The PCI clock is distributed with a zero delay buffer. The PMC2PCI design is passive with no added delays to access the PCI hardware. The passive design reduces system delays and lowers cost.

Some PMC carriers do not supply 3.3V. The PMC2PCI has an on-board power supply which can source up to 10A at 3.3V. The regulator design has been updated to utilize a high efficiency switching regulator. The power supply can be bypassed or utilized under the control of a user shunt. The shunt options are defined in the silk-screen.

PMC2PCI Features

  • Size
    		•  Single slot PMC card plus PCI card height on rear. Blank PMC front panel and stand-off supplied for standard PMC mounting. Right Angle PCI riser available for mounting the PCI card parallel to the PMC card.

  • PCI compatible slot
    		•  1 PCI 5V or 3.3V Slot provided.

  • Clocks
    		•  PCI bus can operate at 66 or 33 MHz.

  • Access Width
    		•  Standard PCI byte lanes supported for byte, word and long access dependent on PMC host. 64 or 32 bit operation is supported.

  • Conditioning
    		•  The A/D lines are series terminated and the PCI control signals are diode clamped. A zero delay buffer is used on the PCI clock, The PCI slot side is series terminated and pulled-up for a clean waveform.

  • LED
    		•  LED on plus 12, minus 12, plus 5, and 3.3V.

  • Power
    		•  +5, +12, -12V and +3V supplied to PCI slots. Onboard 10A regulator or PMC 3.3V supply.

  • VIO
    		•  PCI Signaling level set by PMC host. Separate connectors supplied with 3.3V and 5V key and appropriate VIO reference connection.

  • Interrupts
    		•  INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD routed from PCI to PMC connector. Most PCI cards use one Interrupt level [INTA].

  • Thermal
    		•  The PMC2PCI is a low power device with no appreciable power dissipation.

  • Busmode
    		•  Busmode set to respond to PMC slot.

  • JTAG
    		•  JTAG connections are made to the PCI slots from a header on the PMC2PCI. Signals are labeled for ease of use.

  • Warranty
    		•  1 year warranty provided.




    PMC2PCI Benefits

  • Speed
    		•  With the PMC2PCI direct connect from the PMC to the PCI card, the accesses to the PCI card are optimized. Your data will move quickly and reliably through the PCI bus to and from your hardware.

  • Price
    		•  The PMC2PCI has the low price point. Make use of existing PCI designs in PMC applications without paying for the expense of a new design and layout. Quantity discounts are available.

  • Ease of Use
    		•  The PMC2PCI is easy to use. A plug and play interface to the PMC site.

  • Availability
    		•  The PMC2PCI is a popular board. We keep the PMC2PCI in stock. Send in your order and in most cases have your hardware the next day - delivered to you via FedEx.

  • Size
    		•  The PMC2PCI is a standard width and length PMC board with PCI connectors on the rear [when mounted]. Risers are available for parallel mounting of the PCI card [relative to the PMC card]

  • PMC Compatibility
    		•  The PMC2PCI is PMC compliant per the IEEE 1386 specification with the exception of the height on the rear surface where the PCI card is mounted.

  • PCI Compatibility
    		•  The PMC2PCI is PCI 2.2 compliant. The PMC2PCI can be expected to work with any PCI compliant card.
