1.0 General Information
The Acromag APMC4110 Powered PMC Carrier is a board that functions as a stand-alone PCI
interface. Using an external power supply, the carrier allows any industry standard PMC module to
be mounted without an accompany processor. The user has full access to the field I/O via two 50-
pin ribbon cable connectors, P1 and P2. A 14-pin Xilinx JTAG connector is also available for
utilizing boundary scan debugging. A manual reset button allows the user to force a RST# signal
when needed. An on-board DC-DC converter c3.3VDC from the ex5VDC source,
lowering the number of external power connections required.
1.1 FIELD I/O CONNECTORS
The PMC module’s connections are made to the Acromag APMC4110 carrier field I/O
connections through the P1 and P2 50-pin connectors. The connections are terminated as defined
within the PCI specification. The reset and clock signals are sourced from the APMC4110. In
addition, power is provided to the PMC module through the APMC4110 Carrier board.
The field I/O connections are made via two 50 pin ribbon cable connectors. Table 1.1 indicates
the pin assignments for the field I/O signal mapping of the Powered PMC Carrier board for
connector P1. Table 1.2 indicates the pin assignments for the field I/O signal mapping of the
Powered PMC Carrier board for connector P2. The field I/O signals are split equally between the
two connectors.
The diagram below shows how the pins on the I/O pins in the tables correspond to the P1 and
P2 connectors on the Powered PMC Carrier module.
Note: Notice the notch on the top side of the connector. Pin 1 is indicated with a square pad.
The odd pins are in order on the top row from right to left, as shown. The even pins are in order on
the bottom row from right to left.
Pin 49 Pin 1
Pin 50 Pin 2
