  APMC4110: Busless PMC Carrier Card

  • Holds one PMC module
  • Delivers power to PMC module
  • Enables a trouble-free start-up sequence
  • Stand-alone design needs no chassis or backplane

  This PMC module carrier card allows use of a PMC module in an independent stand-alone mode. The carrier card delivers power to the PMC module and regulates the PCI bus start-up sequence to prevent a system lock-up by the connection to the local bus.
