PCIBPC104pET adapter / carrier converter card provides the ability to install 1-4 active PC104p or PCI-104 cards into a standard PCI slot. PCIBPC104pET has a PC104p and PCI-104 compatible stack position mounted to a universal voltage shorter than 1/2 length PCI card. The PC104p position is stackable with all 4 active positions usable. Additional non-PCI cards can also be added. PCI power is routed to the PC104p stack with heavy planes allowing enough current to cover the PC104p specification. Interrupts are routed to the PCI connector. Request and Grant lines are handled by the bridge locally and back to the host on the PCI bus to allow for bus master operation. The design is robust with extended temperature components, impedance controlled, PCI compliant routing, heavy power planes with decoupling for the PC104p voltages, and more. With the PCIBPC104pET (PCI Bridge PC104p/PCI-104 Extended Temperature) all you have to do is install your PC104p onto the adapter, and plug into the PCI slot. PCIBPC104pET is compatible with 32 bit PCI slots. The PC104p positions can be programmed to use 3.3 or 5V for VIO. The bridge provides plug and play operation.

The BaseBoard acts as a motherboard for a PC104p stack with a power supply position [PC104] and PC104p / PCI-104 module stack. The BaseBoard has the “kitchen sink” IO acting like an extra module.

Consider this design as an example of custom designs we can do for you.

35 Optocoupled Inputs, 37 Optocoupled Outputs, 2 UART – RS-485 ports, 2 ARINC 429 – TX/RX, 4 ADC Ports, and 4 DAC Ports comprize the onboard feature set of the BaseBoard design.

Original Client used this design for an airborne application. Conformal coated.

The BiSerial features large internal “BLOCK RAM” which can be used for FIFO or Dual Port RAM. The Spartan III® contains the PCI interface with DMA and the state-machines for your design. If deeper FIFO’s are required; an additional 128Kx32 x2 are available. 16 – 40 MHz 485 and/or LVDS buffers with programmable termination and direction can be configured to your systems requirements.

There are 4 DAC, and 4 ADC channels which can be populated with 200 KHz. 16 bit devices.

Eight TTL IO are provided for flexibility, and to remove the need for an additional card when only a few bits are needed. The state-machines can be coupled to the TTL IO or they can be used as a separate parallel port or other function.
