Description
When building a server of desktop system, required interface cards may not always be available in PCI form factor, but may be
available in PMC. Adapting PMC cards to the PCI form factor is the purpose of the adaptPCI-PMC card. The adaptPCI-PMC is a
passive adapter, allowing use of the PMC card’s original software drivers with no interference from transparent or opaque bridges,
or other active bus interface devices. The board outline is a PCI variable length card with a Universal PCI edge connector and 64 bit
extension. The board will seat one PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) card supporting PN1 through PN4 connections with both 3.3V and
5V signaling. PMC PN4 is connected to a VME P2 type connector using standardized VITA mapping.
The PCI interface conforms to the PCI 2.1 specification PCI 64. Data transfers of 32 or 64 bits at up to 66MHz are accommodated.
Both 3.3V and 5V PCI bus signaling is supported. The board has an optional 3.3V on-board power regulator for older systems that
do not have 3.3V available.
The board complies with the PCI Specification Revision 2.1, and IEEE 1386.1-2001 with the exception of signal trace length.
