KEY ACPS3320 FEATURES
Interface for AcroPack modules
–
The ACPS3320 provides an electrical and
mechanical interface for up to two industry standard mini-PCIe or AcroPack
modules. AcroPack modules are available from Acromag. Mini-PCIe cards are
available from other vendors in a wide variety of input/output configurations
to meet the needs of varied applications.
PCI Express
Version 2.1 Compliant Carrier: -
Includes a PCIe switch to allow
two PCIe devices (AcroPack or mini-PCIe) to share a single 4HP peripheral
board slot in a CPCI-S chassis.
Board Identification
–
A unique carrier and site number is determined from
geographical addressing signals GA0-GA3 from the backplane. This feature
provides the capability to distinguish a particular carrier and AcroPack module
from others when multiple instances of the same carrier and/or module are
used in a system.
JTAG Programming Header
–
A standard 14-pin Xilinx JTAG programming
header is provided for programming and debugging the FPGA on some
AcroPack modules. The JTAG ports of the two AcroPack modules are daisy-
chained.
Individually Fused Power
- Fused +1.5V, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, and -12V DC
power is provided. A fuse is present on each supply line serving each AcroPack
module. Fuses F1-F3 and F7-F9 are user replaceable. Fuses F4-F6 and F10-F12
are not user replaceable, you must return the board to Acromag to replace
these fuses.
Software Support
The AcroPack series products require support drivers specific to your
operating system. Supported operating systems include: Linux
, Windows
,
and VxWorks
.
Windows
Acromag provides software products (sold separately) to facilitate the
development of Windows
applications interfacing with AcroPack modules.
This software (model APSW-API-WIN) consists of low-level drivers and
Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) that are compatible with a number of
programming environments. The DLL functions provide a high-level interface
to boards eliminating the need to perform low-level reads/writes of registers,
and the writing of interrupt handlers.
