AcPC4610E: Non-intelligent 3U cPCI PMC Carrier, Air-cooled

This board provides an easy and low cost solution that enables use of a PMC mezzanine I/O module in a standard 3U 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 the PMC site. The bridge device provides a 32-bit 33/66 MHz PCI interface.

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 J2 connector.

An air-cooled rear transition board, Acromag Model TRANS-C4610, maps the field I/O on the PMC module to the rear of the CompactPCI system.
