1. Overview
This manual describes the CPCI Rear board - PCIeX1 to 8CPCI-Slot. This board enables the operation of a CPCI
System through a normal desktop PC. Therefore, a PCIe to PCIe Cable slot card (see picture below) can be
plugged into the desktop PC. The CPCI board can be linked through a PCIe X1 Cable with this adapter board
and therefore with the desktop PC.

PCIe to PCIe X1 Cable lot card
The CPCI board is designed as a
CPCI System Slot board
. It has to be plugged into the System Slot of a 3U, 32
bit CPCI Backplane. The number of supported slots at the backplane is limited to max. 8 slot. In accordance with
the CPCI specification
1
the following number of slots at the backplane are supported:
VI/O
PCI - Clock
Frequency
# Slots
+3.3V 66MHz
≤
5 Slots
+3.3V
33MHz
up to 8 Slots
+5V
33MHz
up to 8 Slots
Table 1:
number of supported slots at the backplane
The board is designed to support a 33MHz or 66MHz clock. The selection of the clock frequency is executed by
the backplane (“M66EN” Pin). Despite that the Add-In Card is PXI compliant.
With the PCIe X1 Cable Downstream port, it is possible to cascade several CPCI Boards to operate several CPCI
Systems.
There are no additional software-drivers required to operate this board.
