TAMC261

PMC-Carrier for MTCA.4 Rear-I/O

Application Information

The TAMC261 is a standard Mid-Size/Full-Size AMC.1

(PCI-Express) and MTCA.4 compliant PMC carrier module

that provides one slot for a single-width PMC, used to

build modular, flexible and cost effective I/O solutions for

applications

in

process

control,

medical

systems,

telecommunication and traffic control.

A PI7C9X130 PCIe-to-PCI bridge provides the connection

between primary PCIe link and the secondary PMC slot.

The bridge controls all PCI accesses and the frequency for

the PMC access. PCI is supported up to 64-bit @66MHz

and PCI-X is supported up to 64-bit @133MHz.

The TAMC261 supports front panel I/O, alternatively the

MTCA.4 interface provides access to the PMC P14 back

I/O lines. According to MTCA.4, the TAMC261 provides

two 30-pair ADF connectors at the Zone 3 interface (Rear

I/O) that provide access to all P14 back I/O lines via a

compatible µRTM.

The

TAMC261-2x

additionally

provide

M-LVDS

transceivers connected to AMC port 12-15, port 17-20 and

the TCLKA-D. All control and data lines of the M-LVDS

transceivers are routed to the zone 3 interface, enabling a

mounted PMC to access the AMC port signals via the

µRTM.

The TAMC261 is a versatile solution to upgrade well

known legacy I/O solutions to a high performance form

factor.

According to AMC.0, the TAMC261 provides an IPMI

compliant Module Management Controller (MMC) with

temperature monitoring and hot-swap support.
