System Slot Controller
The PICMG
®
CompactPCI
®
Serial specification defines a card slot system based on the high speed data
links PCI Express
®
, SATA, Ethernet and USB. The SC4-CONCERTO, designed to act as a CompactPCI
®
Serial system slot controller, provides the resources of these interfaces. The backplane distributes them
in the form of point to point connections to the peripheral slots.
The SC4-CONCERTO allocates most but not all communication channels defined by CompactPCI
®
Serial on the backplane:
▸
Two PCIe links x8, 2.5GT/s, 5GT/s or 8GT/s (Fat Pipes)
▸
Six PCIe links x1, 2.5GT/s, 5GT/s or 8GT/s
▸
Six SATA ports (6G)
▸
Three USB 3.0 ports
▸
Five USB 2.0 ports
▸
Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports (requires S80-P6 low profile mezzanine module)
These resources will be distributed on a typical 9-slot (5-slot) CompactPCI
