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.
As a non-intelligent carrier, the board acts simply as an adapter to route signals to and from the PMC module. The user has full access to the field I/O via two 50-pin ribbon cable connectors.
Features and Benefits
Single-slot PMC carrier card
Stand-alone design does not require expensive card cage or other computer chassis
Ideal for custom computing solutions based on configurable FPGA modules
On-board DC-DC converter provides +3.3V DC to the PMC module from a +5V power source
Users can optionally provide a ±12V DC source
Manual reset button initiates a PCI reset at user’s discretion
Voltage monitor designed to prevent code execution errors during power-up, power-down, or potential brown-out conditions when +5V DC supply dips too low
A standard 14-pin Xilinx JTAG connection is available for utilizing the TDI, TDO, TCK, and TMS signals
