6.1 PROPRIETARY MEZZANINE CONCEPT
This is TEKNOR’s proprietary concept to expand the I/O capability of the board. It is built
around two connectors:
§
J14 : which handles a complete PCI signal set (Primary bus) including the
REQ/GNT arbitration signal pair (REQ4/GNT4).
§
J19
: which handles IDE0, floppy disk drive, keyboard and mouse signals.
These two connectors represent an open door for future development of expansion and I/O
mezzanine boards.
The mechanical location of the connectors allows features such as connectors and
indicators to be available directly on the front plate.
A Storage Mezzanine Board referred to as TEK-CPCI 1050 is provided by TEKNOR.
Many other functions will be available soon. For more information, please contact
TEKNOR’s offices.
6.2 PMC CONCEPT
PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) is a standard specification that allows PCI I/O devices to be
connected to the PCI bus. It conforms to the ANSI/IEEE P1386.1 specification that defines
Standard Physical and Environmental Layers for PMC devices.
The TEK-CPCI-1003 features the PMC concept onboard to provide an extra method to
support the 32-bit I/O devices available on the market.
Various devices such as Ultra-SCSI, Fire-Wire, PCMCIA, Bus Analyzers, Digital I/O, ...
are available from Silicon Control, Cyclone, Technobox, Vmetro, and many more.
PMC devices connect directly to J20 and J21standard PMC connectors. A mechanical
cutout (with its EMI proof cap) is provided to allow integrated connectors and indicators to
be available directly on the front plate.
