FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
A functional block diagram is provided in Figure 2.1. The High Density Relay Module is powered by a +5V input via
Compact PCI connector J1. The interface to the user test equipment is via the front panel mounted 200-pin LFH type
connector, J2. The module comprises a PCB populated with electro-mechanical relays. The relays are energised via
control signals from relay drivers U8 to U14, which are addressed by PCI bridge U1, via the control logic, to output
the required signal. Module configuration is determined by links and data stored in EEPROM U7. PCI Bridge U1 is
configured by EEPROM U2.
