1 Product Description
The TCP201 is a standard 6U CompactPCI Carrier providing front I/O for up to 4 single-size or two
double-size IndustryPack (IP) modules used to build modular, flexible and cost effective I/O solutions
for applications in process control, medical systems, telecommunication and traffic control.
For improved EMI protection, four HD50 SCSI-2 type connectors (AMP 787395-5) are mounted in the
EMI front panel of the TCP201 and provide access to all IP I/O lines. Status indicators for IP access,
+5V and +/-12V are provided in the front panel.
The TCP201 can operate with 3.3V and 5.0V PCI I/O signaling voltage.
All IP interrupt request lines are mapped to PCI INTA. For fast interrupt source detection, the TCP201
provides a special IP Interrupt Status Register.
IP clock is selectable between 8 MHz and 32 MHz for each IP separately.
Two memory spaces are provided for each IP, allowing linear addressing for either 16 bit or 8 bit
memory on the IP.
The IP power lines are fuse protected by self healing fuses and RF filtered. The operating temperature
range is -40°C to +85°C.
The TCP201 complies with the PICMG 2.0 Revision 3.0 CompactPCI specification.
