Block circuit diagram
The PCIe-XPIMC-Carrier is a PCIe 1x board that can carry a single PMC or alternatively a XMC
module. The PMCs PCI interface is connected to the boards PCIe card edge interface through a
single lane (1x) PCI/PCIe bridge. When using a XMC module its first PCIe lane is connected to the
card edge connector.
I/O connectivity is achieved by adding a PIM module slot (acc. Vita 36). All 64 I/O signals from the
PMC/XMC J4 are routed directly to the PIM's J4 connector.
Some PIM J0 signals have a special functionality as already implemented in the PMC-Box [1].
The board is designed for a PCIe 1x slot. All installed modules are power supplied through the 12V
power rail. For extreme high power applications an external power source (12V) can optionally be
installed. The 12V auxiliary connector Aux Power is doubled (IN+OUT) to allow daisy chaining
multiple carriers on huge PCIe backplanes.
The carrier board is available in two versions:
•
Normal (forward) version
: the PIM slot is placed at the slot bracket side and the PMC/XMC
is oriented towards the system's centre.
•
Reverse version:
the PMC/XMC slot is placed at the slot bracket side and the PIM is
oriented towards the system's centre.
