CP320-IO1 Module
A.1. Overview
The optional Kontron CP320-IO1 module has been designed to provide the CP321 user with
an effective gateway to the world of PMC modules. This additional capability opens up the
broadest range of expansion possibilities.
PMC modules are renowned for their flexibility and versatility of use. They afford the user wide
ranging system-independent solutions by means of easily interchanged or upgraded add-on
modules. The Kontron CP320-IO1 has been designed to maximize the advantages provided
by PMC modules in a 3U environment.
A special feature of the CP321 is the ability to cascade two of these IO1 modules on top of one
another. This means that the CP321 is able to carry any two PMC modules. Tremendous ad-
vantages in terms of expandability and flexibility are thus made available to the user as a result
of the addition of this capability to the board's many outstanding features.
The CP320-IO1 is a non-intelligent, passive 3U CPCI carrier board with one PMC slot.
Some of the Outstanding Features of the CP320-IO1
• 32 Bit / 33MHz PCI Bus on the PMC side
• IO voltage, V(I/O), 5V, or 3.3V, can be configured on the base board (CP321)
• It supports the Interrupts INTA, INTB, INTC and INTD
• It supports all the signals of the PCI Bus on its connectors Jn1 (CON4),
Jn2 (CON5)
• The connectors which connect the mezzanine board with the carrier include all the sig-
nals of a 33MHz, 32-bit, multi-master PCI bus; the power rails for 5V, 3.3V, and V(I/O);
and other specialized signals for board detection.
Features of the Kontron Modular Computers' PMC modules
Kontron Modular Computers' PMC modules are operable in CompactPCI systems and VME
systems which support PCI busses. They offer all the key benefits of PC I/O technology, name-
ly:
• low cost solutions
• high performance
• a processor independent local I/O bus
• a broad range of I/O peripheral devices
Kontron Modular Computers' PMC modules may be installed on a variety of different carrier
boards, including:
• CompactPCI 3U/6U: CPU CP302, CP600, CP602, CP610, CP611, CP612
• CompactPCI PMC carrier boards such as the CP390 and CP690
• VME 3U: VMP1 by means of the VMP1-IO1 module
