Overview
The PCI Express to XMC module adapter allows a single width XMC module
to be used in a PCI Express slot. The XMC module is VITA 42.3 compatible
and supports up to eight PCI Express lanes. The adapter is completely
transparent to PCI Express. All signals from the PCI Express host bus are
connected directly to the XMC module.
The XMC P16 connector is routed to SATA connectors for high speed signals
at speeds up to 3GHz. The connectors provide a simple way to "patch-panel"
communications links between cards.
The XMC Jn4 connector routes differential matched-length pairs to the
MDR68 connector at the rear of the card. Special support for trigger and
timing inputs to Innovative XMC modules is provided through SMA
connectors.
More power to the XMC module may be provided by using the optional power
connector to the adapter card. The power connector provides +12V to the
adapter and powers the on-card 3.3V, 15A DC-DC power supply. Power to the
XMC VPWR inputs is configurable using jumpers on the card.
Conduction cooling using VITA20 standard, as well as an optional fan,
provide cooling to the XMC module.
The XMC module mounts securely to the adapter using standoffs and with the
end bracket. The bracket mates to standard PMC end brackets and supports
an EMI gasket.
