1. The storage device limits the o perational vi bration to lerance. When
the application requires higher specification for anti-vibration, it is
recommended to use a flash storage device.
2. ADLINK-certified thermal design. The thermal performance is dependent on the chassis cooling design. Sufficient forced air-flow is required.
Temperature limits of optional mass storage devices may also affect the
thermal specification.
In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is recommended to provide more power than the system requires. 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 s hould be able to provide at
least three times as much power as the entire system 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.

3.3PMC/XMC
The cPCI-6530(V) models support max two PMC or XMC sites for
front panel I/O expansion. The PMC site provides a maximum
64-bit/33,66,133 MHz PCI bus link using a Pericom PI7C9X130
PCI-Express-to-PCI bridge and PCI-Express x4 link. The PMC
sites support +3.3V signaling only. The XMC sites provide
PCI-Express x8 lanes which are supported by a PCIe x8 Switch.
3.4Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost Tech no lo gy is a fe a tur e th at allo ws th e processor to opportunistically and automatically run faster than its rated
operating core and/or render clock frequency when there is sufficient power headroom, and the product is within specified temperature and current limits. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature
is designed to increase performance of both multi-threaded and
single-threaded workloads. The processor supports a Turbo mode
where the processor can use the thermal capacity associated with
package and run at power levels higher than TDP power forshort durations. This improves the system responsiveness for
short, bursty usage conditions.
Turbo Mode availability is independent of the number of active
cores; however, the Turbo Mode frequency is dynamic and dependent on the instantaneous application power load, the number of
active cores, user configurable settings, operating environment,
and system design. If the power, current, or thermal limit is
reached, the processor will automatically reduce the frequency to
stay with its TDP limit.
3.5Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology allows an execution core to
function as two logical processors. While some execution
resources (such as caches, execution units, and buses) are
16Functional Description
cPCI-6530
shared, each logical processor has its own architectural state with
its own set of general-purpose registers and control reg iste rs. This
feature must be enabled using the BIOS and requires operating
system support. Intel recommends enabling Hyper-Threading
Technology with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and XP, and disabling Hyper-Threading Technology using the BIOS for all pr evious versions of Windows operating systems.
3.6Trusted Platform Module
The cPCI-6530 integrates an Atmel AT97SC3204 Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The TPM is a secure controller with added
cryptographic functionality to provid e users a secure environ ment
in e-commerce transactions and Internet communications.
The key features Trusted Platform Module (TPM) offers are:
X Fully compliant to the Trusted Computin g Group (TCG)
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2 specification
X Hardware hash accelerator for SHA-1 algorithm
X Advanced Crypto Engine (ACE) for asymmetric key opera-
tions(up to 2048-bit key length) to make hardware protection.
X Tick counter to extend the time required to decipher the key
X In addition to encryption key created by user . it also provide
some security features to protect the integrated circuit itself:
X Over/Under-voltage detection to monitor the system stabil-
ity. If the voltage fluctuates dramatically, this function can
block the data transfer and lock the chip.
X Low/High frequency sensor to detect the IC clock fre-
quency. If the frequency fluctuates dramatically, this function can block the data transfer and lock the chip.
X Reset filter to filter reset signal in order to break the time se t
by tick counter is received
X Memory encryption to protect memory
X Physical shield in the IC to protect the die from intruding or
hacking by matching the data transferred on the 2 layer
metal shield on the IC. If the data is not matched, the IC
may be blocked.
