- Holds one PMC module

- Delivers power to PMC module

- Enables a trouble-free start-up sequence

- Stand-alone design needs no chassis or backplane

This PMC module carrier card allows use of a PMC module in an independent stand-alone mode. The carrier card delivers power to the PMC module and regulates the PCI bus start-up sequence to prevent a system lock-up by the connection to the local bus.

As a non-intelligent carrier, the board acts simply as an adapter to route signals to and from the PMC module. The user has full access to the field I/O via two 50-pin ribbon cable connectors.

Features & Benefits

- Single-slot PMC carrier card

- Stand-alone design does not require expensive card cage or other computer chassis

- Ideal for custom computing solutions based on configurable FPGA modules

- On-board DC-DC converter provides +3.3V DC to the PMC module from a +5V power source

- Users can optionally provide a ±12V DC source

- Manual reset button initiates a PCI reset at user’s discretion

- Voltage monitor designed to prevent code execution errors during power-up, power-down, or potential brown-out conditions when +5V DC supply dips too low

- A standard 14-pin Xilinx JTAG connection is available for utilizing the TDI, TDO, TCK, and TMS signals

- Front or rear connection I/O access
