PCIe [XMC] tends to have greater bandwidth, and PCI [PMC] may have better latency.
Dynamic Engineering is a member of VITA.
  • XMC has 8 PCIe lanes defined allowing operation with 1-8 lanes. Gen1-3. Pn5/Jn5 provides power, PCIe and miscellaneous signals.
  • XMC has +12V(1), -12V(1), 3.3V(4) and VPWR(8) defined as power inputs. VPWR can be 5V or 12V depending on the adapter/carrier in use. () shows the max current based on contacts at 1A ea. Carrier or Adapter will determine power available.
  • PMC can operate with 32/25 PCI up to 64/133. 32/33 is the default standard for PMC. Pn1, and Pn2 are required for 32 bit solution, Pn3 added for 64 bit operation. Power and miscellaneous signals also suppored on Pn1-3.
  • PMC has +12V(1), -12V(1), 3.3V(9) and 5V(5) defined as power inputs. () shows the max current based on contacts at 1A ea. Carrier or Adapter will determine power available.
  • PMC & XMC standard Dimensions : rectangular 149mm x 74mm nominal. Generally 4.7 mm for components on the main surface with connector area specified to the full 10 mm inter-board clearance. Low profile components on the rear surface.
  • Standard models have options for bezel and rear IO.
  • Conduction cooled models are 143.75mm x 74mm. This is to allow for the cooling rib inside the host bezel at the top of the ccPMC or ccXMC
  • Conduction cooled models use rear IO. Pn4/Jn4 [PMC] , Pn4/Jn4 and/or Pn6/Jn6 [XMC].
  • Bezel IO defined by the module. Rear IO can be up to 32 differential pairs or equivalent on the PMC or XMC.
    The carrier or adapter may have a reduced set of signals routed.
  • SOSA - Sensor Open Systems Architecture is a standard defined to help with interoperabiility and transition to new technology. While SOSA mainly applies to VPX systems, the requirements are frequently pushed back to the PMC / XMC level. Depending on the implementation of the carrier any of the Dynamic Engineering PMC and XMC modules can be used in SOSA systems. In some cases, a subset of the PMC or XMC IO will be available due to limitations from implemententing SOSA. For example, a 64 bit IO card [XMC-Parallel-TTL] is unlikely to have all 64 bits available in a SOSA system. All will be available in an optimized system. Contact Dynamic Engineering to create a customized layout to implement the pinout you need for your system.

    PMC 34 Channels in one slot
    PMC-BiSerial-VI-UART

    8 UART I/O ports each consisting of RS-485 transmit and receive data. [LVDS is an ordering option] The UART interface uses a 16x clock to detect received data bits. Received data is filtered with the port reference clock to remove line glitches. The interface can operate at up to 2 Mbits/second using a 32 MHz clock. Reference clock for each port is selectable between the 32 MHz reference and a user programmed PLL frequency. Each UART port has 255 x 32 FIFO for transmit and another 255x32 for receive in addition to Packet Definition FIFOs. DMA support on all channels. 5 modes can be selected per fully independent node: Standard UART (unpacked), Packed, Packetized, Alternate Packetized, and Test. Options for Bezel and Rear IO. Linux, and Windows, reference packages.

  • UnPacked mode 8 bit data is assumed mimicking standard UART operation
  • Packed mode 32 bit data is assumed allowing 4 characters to be read/written at a time.
  • Packetized mode allows for non-LW data lengths, and retains most of the efficiency of LW packing. Odd lengths [non LW boundaries] are loaded with the complete LW´s first then the remainder. The Packet length FIFO is programmed with the length to send. The Packet lengths can be loaded to transmit with minimal HW delay between Packets or with a programmed delay.
  • Alternate Packetized mode uses 3 bytes per LW and has the packet descriptor information built into the 4th byte.
  • Test mode SW controls the output pattern to allow for programmed errors on certain characters sent.

  • Programmable timers are available to control the time between packets sent and as a master timer to start new bursts of packets. In addition the Alternate Packet mode supports automatic tristate control and automatic transmit enable/disable to support the packet burst timing. Please see the HW manual for more information.
