cPCI300

cPCI 3U Carrier with 1 module site; PXI compatible; V3 PCI Chip-set; 200MB/sec Digital Bus and 1Mbyte of shared memory on Master site

Overview

The cPCI300 is a single site module carrier developed to provide access to a TIM Module over the CompactPCI bus running at 33Mhz with a 32-bit data bus. The card has an 'on-board' JTAG ACT8990 controller. This allows Code Composer Studio and 3L Diamond applications to be used to debug/upload software to a Module. A single buffered comm-port with conflict protection is available on the chassis front panel. This has the versatility to access any of four comm-ports from the Module. The main connection to the 3U CompactPCI bus is via the Module's Global Bus. A single comm-port is also mapped to the CompactPCI bus providing support for application boot and data transfer. 1 Mbyte of SRAM is mapped on to the Global Bus and can be accessed by the Module as a global resource or by the CompactPCI Bridge. A 3.3 volt supply will be available at the fixing pillars for the Module. This supply will be taken from the CompactPCI edge connector. An 'on-board' 200MB/sec Digital Bus Interface to the CompactPCI Bridge allows the card to be interfaced to '200MB/sec Digital Bus' standard modules. The National Instrument's Extensions for Instrumentation (PXI) signals are utilized allowing multiple cPCI300's to be synchronized in a system.
