Note: cPCIBPMC6U is the replacement for cPCIBPMC6UET. The 64 bit bridges are EOL. This updated version uses a 32 bit PCI bridge. The design is industrial temperature. Filtering, power distribution, PMC locations have been retained. The rear IO is routed with controlled impedance, and matched length.

cPCIBPMC6U is a 6U 4HP PMC adapter for cPCI. Two PMC positions are provided with a 32 bit interface for both the PMC and the cPCI backplane. User programmable VIO on the PMC side of the bridge. High capacity mini-planes with filtering for 3.3 and 5V.

The 6U version has both PMC IO connectors routed with equal length traces to J3 and J5. A PIM Carrier is available for the 6U model to support rear panel IO.

A related product,, "cPCIBPMC3U32" is a 3U 4HP version with one PMC position.

cPCIBPMC6U ( cPCI to PMC ) adapter / carrier converter card provides the ability to install one or two PMC devices into a standard cPCI slot. cPCIBPMC6U has two PMC card slots mounted to a universal 6U 4HP cPCI card. Suitable for 32 width with 33/ 66 MHz bus operation. cPCIBPMC6U can be installed into a 64 bit system. The PMC bezel connector is mounted though the cPCI mounting bracket. cPCIBPMC6U is an extended temperature design. -40C to +85C standard. Conformal Coating is an option.

PCI VIO is interconnected to the primary side of the bridge. The secondary side of the bridge has programmable VIO allowing 5V PMCs to be used in 3V systems and vice-versa. The voltage select pins are not installed on cPCIBPMC6U. The bridge will automatically adapt to the PCI bus reference voltage.

Power is routed from the cPCI to PMC connectors with mini-planes each of which is rated for more than the maximum PMC draw. 3.3, 5, VIO, +12, -12. The 5V and 3.3V power connections have LC filtering to minimize system noise in both directions.

cPCIBPMC6U has low internal power dissipation. The dissipation is a function of the frequency and load from the installed PMC. For PMCs with higher power dissipation or for use in chassis with low airflow the Zero Slot fan options are recommended. The fans do not require an added slot and provides about 5 CFM of air movement per fan.

If your project requires 64 bit cPCI operation cPCI2PMC-64 can be ordered ito provide a passive 64 bit implementation.

cPCIBPMC6U Benefits

Speed
The bridge allows for isolation and for differing clock rates on the cPCI backplane and the PMC. Tested with the Dynamic Engineering PMC-Parallel-TTL-GPIO design using Target Read, Target Write, DMA read and DMA write, plus interrupts. -RIO models additionally tested with external loop-back. With the bridge design all PCI and cPCI specifications are met - in particular the impedance and length of the PCI traces.
Price
System level cost is best when reasonably priced reliable hardware is used and NRE minimized. With cPCIBPMC6U, PMCs can be utilized in a cPCI system. Please check the current per item pricing with the storefront. Orders can be placed via the on-line ordering system or via phone / email PO order systems.
Ease of Use
cPCIBPMC6U is easy to use. The transparent bridge does not require programming. Drivers for the PMC will see through the bridge and access the installed PMC. Please download the manual.
Availability
We work to keep the base design of cPCIBPMC6U in stock. Dynamic Engineering has in house manufacturing capabilities for short lead times on larger orders, or special requirements.
PMC Specification Compatibility
cPCIBPMC6U is PMC compliant per the VITA specification. All Dynamic Engineering PMC Modules are compatible with cPCIBPMC6U. All other PMC Modules which are compliant with the VITA specification can be expected to work.
cPCI Compatibility
cPCIBPMC6U is a PCI compliant device. cPCIBPMC6U can be expected to work in any cPCI compliant backplane. Rear IO modules will need to be installed into backplane positions with RIO supported [not 64 bit PCI]. ESD strip is incorporated into the design. EMC gasket

Part Number: cPCIBPMC6U
Ordering Options

  • cPCIBPMC6U Standard board - Industrial Temperature components, 2 PMC postions, Bezel IO
  • Add any of the following build options after the PN as shown:
  • -FAN( ) Need additional cooling? Order cPCIBPMC6U-FAN( ) for a pre-installed 12V 5.2CFM fan to maximize cooling and functionality of your card. The fan has been tested with high wattage PrPMC devices. Valid Fan options include: standard and Rz for low profile fans with fan direction toward PMC or pulling air from the PMC [R]. An additional option is to use standard height fans with more LFM. 8 CFM fans are available as rear mount only (add -FANR to PN for this option) Select (1,2) for each fan to install into postion 1 or position 2 or both. For example -FAN12 puts the zero slot fan with blow on the PMC orientation in both fan positions.
  • -RIO cPCIBPMC6U standard model with J3, J5 and Jn4 installed for PMC Rear IO through carrier
  • -VIO3 Force to PCI 3.3V on secondary side - normally switch selectable between 3.3 and 5V PCI voltage reference.
  • -JTAG add optional JTAG header
  • -CC Option to add Conformal Coating
  • -ROHS Use ROHS processing. Standard processing is "leaded"
  • -GPIO Add optional header for GPIO
