Introduction

Overview
PMC modules are renowned for their flexibility and versatility of use. They afford the user wide-
ranging system-independent solutions by means of easily interchanged or upgraded mezza-
nine add-on modules. The CP690HS has been designed to maximize the advantages provided
by PMC modules in a 6U environment. Flexibility, versatility, convenience and ease of use have
been keynotes throughout the design process. The result is a board which, although essentially
a carrier for PMC modules, also includes a wide range of important features such as a PCI-to-
PCI bridge, rear I/O capability, and the ability to hot swap. Use of the hot swap feature means,
of course, that all PMC modules employed on the board are effectively hot-swappable.
The CP690HS
is a 6U non-intelligent, active CompactPCI carrier board with two single-size
PMC slots.
Some of the outstanding features of the CP690HS are:
•
Active carrier with PCI-to-PCI bridge
•
32/64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI bus on the CompactPCI (primary) and on the PMC (second-
ary) side with the following configurations:
•
32-bit/33 MHz CompactPCI bus with 32-bit and 33 MHz PMC bus
•
64-bit/66 MHz CompactPCI bus with 32/64-bit and 33/66 MHz PMC bus
•
It supports the interrupts INTA, INTB, INTC, and INTD
•
Software transparence: a specific software driver is required for using the hot swap feature
•
It may be configured either for 3.3V or 5V signalling on the secondary PCI bus (PMC side)
•
It supports all the signals of the PCI bus on its connectors Jn1 (J11/J21), Jn2 (J12/J22)
and Jn3 (J13/J23)
•
The two Jn4 connectors J14 and J24 provide the possibility to implement rear I/O through
the CompactPCI connectors J3 and J5.
•
The connectors which connect the mezzanine board with the carrier include all the sig-
nals of a 66 /33 MHz, 64/32-bit, multi-master PCI bus, the power rails for 3.3V, 5V, +12V,
-12V, V(I/O) and other specialized signals for board detection.
•
A PCI-to-PCI bridge provides for coupling of the PMC side to the CompactPCI side, so
that two independent PCI busses exist. The PCI-to-PCI bridge is the Pericom
PI7C8154B. It is software transparent and consequently a software driver is not required
to manage data transfer between the PMC module and the CompactPCI bus.
•
The CP690HS has been designed to function with all Kontron CompactPCI backplanes.
The fact that the J4 connector is not present on the CP690HS means that this carrier
board can also be used in systems employing an H110 backplane.
Kontron’s
PMC modules are operable in both CompactPCI and VME systems. They offer all
the key benefits of PC I/O technology, namely:
•
Low-cost solutions
•
High performance
•
A processor-independent local I/O bus
•
A broad range of I/O peripheral devices
Customers who additionally require the functionality of the CP690HS in the smaller 3U form
factor are referred to Kontron’s single-height PMC Module carrier board, the CP390.
