CP6105X
1 Introduction
1.1 Board Over view
CP6105X opens 6U CPCI platforms up for a wide variety of COTS available XMC and PMC modules, such
as Graphics, Framegrabber, Digitizer, Ethernet, and Storage. And FPGA modules, providing for highest
possible interface customizations. The carrier may be used either in addition to the CPU-based XMC/
PMC option, or as an alternative for an optimized balance of system temperature.
The high speed backplane connector, assembled on the J4 position, enables highest data throughput
within the system, based on the signalling according to PICMG 2.20. Data stream conversion from x8
PCI Express (XMC) to x8 or x4 PCI Express 3.0 (system) provides for maximum data bandwidth.
The PICMG2.20 based CompactPCI® line provides a high-speed J4 backplane connector for serial inter-
connects within the system. This makes CompactPCI /PICMG2.20 the ideal choice for communication or
for computing nodes, when ordinary 19" Rackmount systems do not meet the required robustness and
longevity.
Where CompactPCI® has been already appreciated because of its openness, modularity, robustness, or
longevity, the PICMG2.20 based CompactPCI® line is the choice whenever highest data throughput is re-
quired. The technology is open for PCI Express® 3.0, 10 or even 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and SATA 6Gb/s,
depending on the capabilities of the selected CPU blades.
