2.3 Power Requirements

In order to guarantee stable operation of the system, it is recom­mended that significantly more power be provided than required.

An industrial power supply unit should be able to provide at
least twice as much power as the entire system requires of
each voltage. An ATX power supply unit should be able to provide

at least three times as much po wer as the entire syst em requires
of each voltage.

The tolerance of the voltage lines described in the CompactPCI
specification (PICMG 2.0 R3.0) is +5%/-3% for 5, 3.3 V and ±5%
for ±12V. This specification is for power delivered to each slot and
it includes both the power supply and the backplane tolerance.

The following sections describe the cPCI-6615 Series features
and functions.

3.1 Processor

cPCI-6615

The cPCI-6615 Series supports the

Intel® Atom™ Processor D525
built on 45-nm Hi-K process technology. The processor is
designed for a two-chip platform as opposed to the traditional
three-chip platforms (processor, GMCH and ICH). The two-chip
platform consists of a processor and the chipset and enables
higher performance, lower cost, easier validation, and improved
x-y footprint.

Intel® ICH8 Mobile I/O Controller Hub

The ICH8M provides extensive I/O support. Functions and capa­bilities include:

X Provides 6 PCI Expressx1 ports, supporting the PCI

Express Base Specification, Revision 1.1. Each Root Port
supports 2.5GB/s bandwidth in each direction. The
cPCI-6615 utilizes two PCI Express x1 ports for two Gigabit
Ethernet controllers; routes two PCI Express x1 ports to the
board-to-board connector and one PCI Express x1 port to
the J2 connector for expansion capability.

X Enhanced DMA controller, interrupt controller, and timer functions

The ITE IT8783E Super I/O is on a Low Pin Count interface sup­porting PS/2 keyboard/mouse; three 16C550-compatible serial
ports; hardware monitor function to monitor CPU voltage, CPU
temperature, power supply voltages and system temperature; and
Watchdog Timer with time resolution from minimum 1 second or
minute to maximum 65635 seconds or minutes on the cPCI-6615.

Functional Description 15
