Multifunction I/O Mezzanine Board _____________________________________________________________________________________ GENERAL INFORMATION The AXM-A75 is a high speed analog input/output mezzanine board compatible with Acromag’s line of re-configurable PMC and XMC FPGA modules. The AXM-A75 has 16 differential analog inputs, 8 analog outputs and 16 digital inputs/outputs.
ENGINEERING DESIGN KIT Acromag does not provide an engineering design kit specifically for the AXM-A75 module. However, an example design is included in the Engineering Design Kit of the PMC/XMC base board. Refer to the PMC/XMC base board’s manual for further information on the available Engineering Design Kit.

IMPORTANT: Adequate air circulation must be provided to prevent a temperature rise above the maximum operating temperature. The lack of air circulation within the computer chassis is a cause for some concern.
_____________________________________________________________________________________ Front Panel Field I/O Connector J1 The AXM-A75 front panel field I/O connector (J1) is a 68 pin VHDCI receptacle. A cable assembly and termination panel (or user defined terminations) can be quickly mated to the field I/O connector. The pin assignment for this connector is shown in Table 2-1.
The remaining memory space is defined in the base board’s User’s Manual. AXM-A75 Memory Map The AXM-A75 specific memory space address map for the board is shown in Table 3-1. Note that the base address from the base PMC/XMC module in memory space must be added to the addresses shown to properly access the board registers.

THEORY OF OPERATION Field I/O Connections The field I/O interface to the AXM-A75 is provided through connector P1 (refer to Table 2-1). Field I/O signals are NON-ISOLATED. This means that the field return and logic common have a direct electrical connection to each other.
Digital I/O A block diagram of a single digital I/O channel is shown in Figure 2 Digital I/O. This structure is replicated 16 times on the AXM-A75. The signal DIG_OUT_STROBE is activated upon a write to the Digital I/O register. The level of DIG_IO_n is returned upon a read of the Digital I/O register.

The level translator is a NXP GTL2010. Figure 2 Digital I/O Analog Outputs Two Analog Devices AD5764R quad bipolar voltage output DACs are used to provide the eight analog output channels. Each DAC uses its own on-chip reference as its reference source.
Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT) boards are generally difficult to repair. It is highly recommended that a non-functioning board be returned to Acromag for repair. The board can be damaged unless special SMT repair and service tools are used. Further, Acromag has automated test equipment that thoroughly checks the performance of each board.
Board Thickness ......1.59 mm (0.062 inches) WARNING: The AXM-A75 length dimension exceeds the “CMC I/O envelope” as shown in IEEE 1386- 2001 Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2 by 7.5mm (limited to 31mm) and is not compatible with all PMC/XMC carriers.

Software calibration eliminates these error components Acromag does not temperature cycle this product before shipping to customers. If the product is operated at the extremes of its temperature range, the voltage reference could drift by the amount specified for first cycle.
Type: Termination Panel for 68 Pin SCSI-3 Cable Connection Application: To connect field I/O signals to the board. Termination Panel: Acromag Part 4001-066. The 5025-288 termination panel facilitates the connection of up to 68 field I/O signals and connects to the board (connectors only) via a round shielded cable (Model 5028-432).
