Mechanical Interface: Tim Standard; Smt398 Installation; Smt398 Alone - Sundance Spas SMT398 User Manual

Version 1.1.1

Mechanical Interface: TIM Standard

This module conforms to the TIM standard ( T exas I nstrument M odule, See
specification & user's
It sits on a carrier board.
The carrier board provides power, Ground, communication links (ComPort links)
between all the modules fitted and a pathway to the host, for a non stand-alone
system.
The SMT398 requires an additional 3.3V power supply (as present on all Sundance
TIM carrier boards) which must be provided by the two diagonally opposite mounting
holes.

SMT398 Installation

Do NOT connect any external TTL (5v) signals to the SMT398 I/Os as the FPGA
is NOT 5v compliant. This implies that the ComPorts and global bus lines of
the carrier board MUST be LVTTL and that any device driving signals on the
SHB connectors must drive at LVTTL (3.3v).
Two types of configuration are described here, nevertheless, you shouldn't be
restricted and should consult Sundance if your system architecture differs.

SMT398 Alone

You can fit the SMT398 on its own, on the first TIM site of one of Sundance's 3.3v
compatible carrier boards plugged in a host computer (PC, PCI, VME carrier etc...),
like SMT310Q, SMT328, SMT300 etc...)
Please, follow these steps to install the SMT398 module on a Host system:
1. Remove the carrier board from the host system.
2. Place the SMT398 module on the first TIM site. This TIM site communicates
with the host. (See your carrier board User Manual.) This allows you to use
Global Bus and ComPort 3 to communicate with the host.
3. Make sure that the board is firmly seated, and then provide the 3.3V to the
board by screwing the SMT398 on the two main mounting holes with the bolts
and screws provided with the board.
4. Connect the SHB links if required by your application.
5. Replace the carrier board in the host system or power on for a stand-alone
carrier.
