    1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The VX402C-64 Active Carrier allows an A- or B-size VME, VXI, or VME64 module to be used in a C-size VXI mainframe chassis. Throughout the rest of this manual, the VME/VXI card being carried will be referred to as the VME module. The carrier provides an actively-buffered electrical interface for the standard VME bus signals.

  • Page 11: Installation

    2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION In most cases the VX402C-64 is individually sealed and packaged for shipment. Verify that there has been no damage to the shipping container. If damage exists then the container should be retained as it will provide evidence of carrier caused problems. Such problems should be reported to the carrier immediately as well as to C&H.

  • Page 13: Functional Description

    3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 3.1 GENERAL VX402C-64 is a general purpose carrier module for VXI C-Size chasses. The module provides actively buffered signals, which meet all VME specifications, to the VME module. A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 5. To VME Module Figure 5.

  • Page 14: Triggers

    3.2 TRIGGERS Both ECL and TTL triggers are supplied through the VX402C-64. There are switches on the carrier which are used to set the direction of the triggers (to the backplane and from the backplane). 3.2.1 TTL TRIGGERS Eight TTL Trigger lines pass through the VX402C-64 to the front panel: TTLTRG0-7. Each trigger line may be set as an input or output trigger.

  • Page 15: Ecl Triggers

    3.2.2 ECL TRIGGERS The VX402C-64 supports two ECL Trigger lines: ECLTRG0-1. Each trigger line may be set as an input or output trigger. The trigger direction is set using switch S2 which can be seen in Figure 7. The trigger directions are clearly marked on the board itself. ECLTRG0 ECLTRG1 Figure 7.

  • Page 16: Pass-Through Connectors

    3.3.3 PASS-THROUGH CONNECTORS One major difference between the VME bus and the VXI bus is that the outer rows of the P2 connector are not defined on the VME bus and they are defined on the VXI bus. For this reason, the VX402C-64 Active Module Carrier provides a Pass-Through Connector system that be used to optionally connect or not connect the VME P2 Rows A &...

  • Page 17: Table Ii. Vxi/Vme Pass-Through Connections

    A one-to-one cable that connects Pin 1 (C32) on the VXI side to Pin 1 (C32) on the VME side, and so on, could only be used if the VME module was designed to meet all of the VXI bus specifications for these pins.

  • Page 18: Figure 9. Sumbus Custom Area

    3.4 SUMBUS CONFIGURATION The VX402C-64 provides a direct connection of the SUMBUS signal through the pass-through connector to the front connectors. The board also has a prototyping area so that the user can hardwire a custom buffer for the SUMBUS signal. 3.4.1 SUMBUS CUSTOM AREA The SUMBUS custom area consists of a prototyping grid, ±12V supplies, and two jumpers for configuring the signal.

  • Page 19: Sumbus Jumper Settings

    3.4.2 SUMBUS JUMPER SETTINGS In order to use the SUMBUS signal, the jumpers J11 and J12 must be configured properly. The three different settings for the jumpers can be seen in Figure 10. The SUMBUS signal can be connected directly to the front panel (A), connected through the prototyping area (B), or disconnected (C).

  • Page 21: Operating Instructions

    4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS While the VX402C-64 is an active carrier, it is designed to be completely transparent to the host interface. For this reason, the VME module can be accessed as if it were plugged directly into the host backplane. In order to operate the VME module, first set up the hardware configurations on the VX402C-64.
