KPXI System Controller User's Manual
high levels of environmental performance required by the vibration, shock, temperature, and
humidity extremes of industrial environments.
The Model KPXI-CON controller utilizes a 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus and can be used in the
Keithley Instruments PXI chassis listed below:
As PXI compliant controllers they can be used with any PXI compliant chassis from any
manufacturer.
CPU support
The KPXI-CON controller supports a single Intel
478-pin Micro-FCPGA or 479-ball Micro-FCBGA package. The standard Model KPXI-CON
controller comes with a CPU socket which can be installed with a Micro-FC-PGA package CPU,
including Pentium M 1.1GHz, 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz. The Pentium M processor runs at a core speed
up to 1.8GHz, with a Front Side Bus (FSB) speed of 400MHz.
The Intel Pentium M processor is a high performance, low power mobile processor with several
micro-architectural enhancements over existing Intel mobile processors. The key features of the
processor are listed as follows:
The Pentium M processor runs at a core speed up to 1.8GHz, with a Front Side Bus (FSB) speed
of 400MHz.
Memory support
The Model KPXI-CON controller is based on Intel 855GME chipset, which consists of 855GME
Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH). The GMCH
system memory interface supports the following features:
