1997). The carrier boards facilitate a modular approach to system assembly,
since each carrier can be populated with any combination of analog
input/output and digital input/output IP modules. Thus, the user can create
a board which is customized to the application which saves money and
space - a single carrier board populated with IP modules may replace several
dedicated function VMEbus boards. The AVME9675A non-intelligent carrier
boards provide impressive functionality at low cost.

1.3.2 Key Features
•
Supports Four IP Modules
- Provides an electrical and mechanical
interface for up to four industry standard IP modules. IP Modules
are available from Acromag and other vendors in a wide variety of
Input/Output configurations to meet the needs of varied
applications.
•
Provides Full IP Data Access
- Supports accesses to IP input/output,
memory, identification data, and interrupt spaces.
•
Full IP Register Access
- Makes maximum use of logically organized
programmable registers on the carrier boards to provide for easy
configuration and control of IP modules.
•
VME64 & VME64x CR/CSR Space
–
Configuration ROM / Control &
Status Register (CR/CSR) space provides additional carrier board
identification & programming capabilities. These include software
selection of the base address and address modifier of the carrier
card in the short I/O space.
•
VME64x Geographical Addressing
–
Supports the six Geographical
Addressing signals provided by VME64x backplanes. These signals
control the base address of the CR/CSR space of each installed
carrier.
This provides unambiguous identification of each carrier’s
location within the VME64x chassis.
•
No Hardware Jumpers or Switches
–
The board is fully configurable
via control registers.
•
LED Indicators Simplify Debugging
- Front panel LED's are dedicated
to each IP module to give a visual indication of successful IP
