• Information on the distinctive features of PEP Modular Computers CompactPCI boards, such as functionality, hot-swap capability. In addition, an overview is given for all existing PEP Modular Computers CompactPCI boards with links to the relat- ing datasheets. • Generic information on the PEP Modular Computers CompactPCI backplanes,...
USXGA graphics board built for use with all industrial standard displays. All variants of the CP331 are equipped with a CRT standard VGA interface. As an option, either an additional standard integrated LVDS interface or an additional PanelLink inter- face can be provided.
However, with the CP331 stan- dard version no throughput of the signals to a frontpanel connecter is foreseen. The board variant CP331-PL instead is provided with a plug-on module acting as an adapter between the 64-pin on-board connector CON8 and the 20-pin PanelLink con- nector on the frontpanel.

Module. 2.2 Specifics The CP331 is delivered with either a C&T 69000 or a C&T 69030 graphic controller. The C&T 69000 controller chip is provided with 2MB of internal memory. It supports resolu- tions of up to 1280 x 1024 x 16 at frequencies of 60, 75 or 85 Hz. The C&T 69030...
The memory interface can be devided into two parts, the video memory interface and the VGA BIOS interface. The CP331 is provided with up to 4MB of embedded video memory with the C&T 69030 graphic controller chip or, respectively, 2MB with the C&T 69000 controller chip.
Front-End TTL Interfaces LVDS Interface The LVDS interface of the board variant CP331-LVDS is the standard interface for remote digital flatpanel connections (up to 10m distance), with resolutions up to USXGA quality (1280 x 1024). Due to its universal use, it is routed directly on-board. The installed transmitter chips are the National Semiconductor DS90C5(3)83 or Texas Instruments SN75LVDS83.

Figure 2-4: Orientation of PanelLink Connector Another possibility for remote flatpanel connections (up to 5m distance) is the PanelLink interface of the board variant CP331- PL. A small transition board, the so-called PanelLink Adapter Module, is equipped with a PanelLink transmitter to provide this feature.
Internal Flatpanel Interfaces Flatpanel Adapter Interface The on-board 64-pin row flatpanel adapter connector CON8 is placed on the standard version of the CP331 and on the board variant CP331-PL to provide connectivity for any type of flatpanel via a suitable adapter. Note...

The on-board 40-pin row internal TTL flatpanel connector CON9 is placed on the stan- dard version of the CP331 and on the board variant CP331-PL to provide the possibility of a direct on-board connection of one of the following flatpanel types: •...
LVDS Signal 2.4.5 PCI Interface All variants of the CP331 are equipped with the standard PCI interface J1. For its pinouts please refer to the PEP Modular Computers CompactPCI System Manual or to the CompactPCI Specification. 2.4.6 Rear-I/O TTL Interface All signals from the TTL flatpanel interface are routed to the rear-I/O connector J2.
CP331 Functional Description 2.5 Video Resolutions The CP331 supports different video resolutions to produce different display parameters. A complete list of possible video resolutions and the relating display parameters is shown in the following table. Table 2-7: Video Resolutions and Display Parameters...
3. Installation 3.1 Hardware Installation The CP331 board can be installed in any CompactPCI compatible computer with a free slot (bus master or non bus master). The frontpanel of the board should be safely secured by screws to the chassis to avoid lossening of the board through vibration and to ensure correct earth connection.
Drivers for Windows NT and other supported operating systems are provided with the CP331 driver kit. Exact guidelines can be found in the readme file which should be fol- lowed before starting the installation procedure. Please follow also the interactive instructions of the installation program and enter specific data when prompted.
A specific BIOS for almost any panel on the market can be created. The configuration can be carried out by PEP Modular Computers or by one of their authorized partners at relatively short notice. A general listing of customer-relevant jumper settings for panel selection are described in the following table: Note...
