CompactPCI - PCI Expansion Unit 3U 32-bit     -     Compact PCI Power Adapter

Features at a Glance:

  • The Expansion Unit is inserted in a free device slot of a cPCI backplane.  It is best used with a backplane that has the host on the right side. 

    The unit is then inserted in the first slot on the left.  No slots are lost in this manner, and even long PCI cards can be inserted.
  • This gives developers access to the larg number of PCI boards available in a rugged, high-quality cPCI chassis.
  • Fast and simple expansion unit handling during insertion and removal is assured by proven 19” technology
  • The comple Windows support provided by this product facilities fast system integration.  Additional drivers are not required. 

    The PCI devices are detected by a standard PCI BIOS with BIOS extension
  • The expansion unit has an automatic signal voltage V I/O level adaptation feature.  It can be operated with 3.5 or 5 V 
  • The secondary PCI bus is preset for operation with with 5 V I/O (3.3 V I/I is available upon request)
  • Only the 5 V supply is required to operate the bridge.  The LED’s V1 to V5 indicate the voltages present.  As a minimum, the LED’s V3=5 V and V1= V I/O must be lit.
  • The +/- 12V and 3.3 V voltages are only required if they are needed for the PCI assemblies in the expansion unit.
  • The maximum current a cPCI slot can is:  +5V/8A, +3.3V/10A, +12V/1A, -12V/1A.  If the assemblies inserted in the PCI slots consume more than the currents listed above, then an additional current injection via the Faston quick-connect terminals X10 to X15 or via power adapter is required and must be wired accordingly.
  • 3U, 28 HP installation width
  • 32-bit bridge (33MHz)
  • All operating voltages are looped through form the backplane to the PCI bus
  • Prepared for additional external input with 6.3 x 0.8mm Faston quick-connect terminals
  • EMC-compliant design

Compact PCI Power Adapter

  • The power consumption of some modern PCI boards is very high.  The cPCI backplane may not always be able to supply the required currents.
  • For this reason, Hartmann offers a power adapter for the rear I/O connector.
  • The adapter is inserted in the back side of the backplane and then supplies the PCI boards with additional current
  • The current from the power supply unit may be fed to this adapter either via an ATX connector, via Faston tabs or screw terminals
  • The standard power adapter is supplied without a front panel.  The adapter can be shortened by the User to a length of 30mm by removing the front panel fasteners
