Appendix A - VMEbus CONNECTOR/PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The XVME-678/688 PC/AT Processor Module is a double-high VMEbus compatible module. On the rear
edge of the board is a 96-pin bus connector labeled PI. The signals carried by connector PI are the
standard address, data, and control signals required for a PI backplane interface, as defined by the
VMEbus specification. Table A-I identifies and defmes the signals carried by the PI connector.

Signal Name and Description
Mnemonic
Pin Number
ACFAIL*
IB:3
AC FAILURE: Open-collector driven signal which
indicates that the AC input to the power supply is no
longer being provided, or that the required input voltage
levels are not being met.
IACKIN*
lA:21
INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE IN: Totem-pole driven
signal. IACKIN* and IACKOUT* signals form a daisy-
chained acknowledge. The IACKIN* signal indicates to
the VME board that an acknowledge cycle is in progress.
IACKOUT*
IA:22
INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE OUT: Totem-pole
driven signal. IACKIN* and IACKOUT* signals form a
daisy-chained acknowledge. The IACKOUT* signal
indicates to the next board that
an
acknowledge cycle is
in progress.

identification.
AS*
lA:18
ADDRESS STROBE: Three-state driven signal that
indicates a valid address is on the address bus.
AOI-A23
lA:24-30
ADDRESS BUS (bits 1-23): Three-state driven
lC: 15-30
address lines that specify a memory address.
A24-A31
2B:4-11
ADDRESS BUS (bits 24-31): Three-state driven bus
expansion address lines.
