Acromag, Inc. VME64 Carriers with Optional Geographical Addressing AVME9670A

The AVME9670A and AVME9675A are non-intelligent slave boards that interface up to four IP modules to the VMEbus. The only difference is that the AVME9675A adds fully implemented geographical addressing. Both are full-height (6U) IP carrier cards that use VME64-compliant connectors to increase the quantity of rear I/O connections beyond that of standard VME. When used with a VME64 backplane, the AVME967xA brings all 200 I/O points out the rear P0 and P2 connectors. This convenience eliminates messy cables from hanging out the front of the cage. In addition to a cleaner cage design, it is also much easier to insert and replace boards into the system. Acromag's carrier boards provide full data access to the IP module's I/O, ID and memory spaces. With full access to the programmable registers, you can easily configure and control the operation of the IP modules from the VMEbus. Up to two interrupt requests are supported for each IP module. The VMEbus interrupt level is software programmable. Individual passive filters on each IP module power supply line provide optimum filtering and isolation between the IP modules and the carrier board.
