The SPR418A is a short form factor PCI Express carrier for either PMC or XMC modules which allows for use of these modules in traditional PC’s with slots supporting 8 or 16 lane PCI Express (Gen 1 or 2). The PCI Express interface to the HOST allows for unimpeded data transfers at the full rate supported by the mezzanine card.
The SPR418A can be ordered to host either a PMC module supporting up to PCI-X transfer speeds, or an XMC module supporting up to 8 lane PCI Express. The PMC site is connected to the host PCI Express bus through a bridge which supports only 3.3 V signaling levels and is compatible with 32-bit/33 MHz devices.
The SPR418A was designed with the requirements of today’s high end PMC and XMC modules in mind, supporting up to 25 W of required power. An integrated fan supplies additional cooling directly to the mezzanine card.
One of the highlights of the SPR418A is the ability to order the card with connectors which provide additional I/O and usage modes. J4 connectivity is provided to an optional 80-pin KEL connector (similar to the connector used for FPDP VITA 17). J16 can be connected to two SFF connectors providing for up to 4 lanes of high speed serial connectivity each via readily available
cables. Finally, an standard PC power connector can be fitted for standalone operation for mezzanines that do not require interaction with a HOST.
The SPR418A provides an excellent platform for installing a single mezzanine card into a PCI Express slot. For applications requiring two PMCs, the ICS-7003 product provides a long form factor PCIe carrier that can carry two PMC modules. The latter product includes flexible interfacing arrangements for the P4 connectors of the PMC modules, including the ability to route the signals
between the two modules, or from these connectors to external FPDP-type connectors.
