1 Introduction
The ADLINK PXES-2590 is a 9-slot PXI Express chassis with
advanced features and functions. Compliant with PXI Express and
cPCI Express specifications, the PXES-2590 offers one system
slot, one system timing slot, and seven hybrid peripheral slots for
versatile testing and measurement applications requiring
enhanced bandwidth. The hybrid-slot design accepts installation
of CompactPCI, PXI, CompactPCI Express, and PXI Express
modules into any peripheral slot, maximizing flexibility. The PXES2590 is built on a four-link PXI express chassis with up to 8 GB/s
system bandwidth, and 1 GB/s slot bandwidth for all peripheral
slots.
The PXES-2590 implements a smart system monitoring controller,
reporting full chassis status, including fan speed, system voltages,
and internal temperature.
Equipped with an industrial grade AC power supply, the PXES2590 can provide 400 W in environments from 0°C to 55°C, and
features an innovative cooling scheme providing superior heat dissipation. Two 185.9CFM fans in the rear section of the chassis
draw cool air from apertures on the bottom and front of the chassis, over the PXI modules, and exhausted to the rear. This innovative cooling design provides, not only exceptional efficiency of heat
dissipation, but also superior uniformity for each PXI slot. BNC
connectors for 10 MHz clock input/output on the rear panel
increase chassis flexibility, enabling synchronization with supplementary devices.

PXI Express System Controller Slot
The System Controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis as defined
by the PXI specification. The PXES-2590 chassis can accommodate a PXI Express system controller that occupies width up
to 4 slots. As defined in the PXI specification, three controller
expansion slots allow the controller to expand to the left to pre-
12 Introduction
PXES-2590
vent the controller from using up peripheral slots.
PXI Express System Timing Slot
The System Timing (ST) slot is Slot 5, providing one dedicated
single-ended star trigger and 3 pairs of differential star trigger
lines to each peripheral slot. Routing of single ended star trigger signals (PXI_STAR) is as follows
Figure 1-10: Single-ended Star Trigger Routing
Routing of differential star trigger signals (PXIe_DSTAR) is as
follows.
Introduction 13
Figure 1-11: Differential Star Trigger Routing
Star trigger functionality provides a precise trigger signal to the
peripheral modules by installation of a specific star trigger controller module in the ST slot. The star trigger slot can also be
used as a general PXI Express peripheral slot if star trigger
functionality is not required.
PXI Express Hybrid Slots
7 peripheral slots are provided in the PXES-2590, all of which
are PXI Express hybrid slots. Each can accommodate a 3U
PXI Express/CompactPCI Express/ hybrid slot compatible PXI1/CompactPCI peripheral module.

Local Bus
The local bus on a PXI backplane is a daisy-chained bus that
connects each peripheral slot with adjacent peripheral slots to
the left and right. The quantity of local bus lines is decreased
from thirteen to one on a PXI Express backplane. The remain-
Introduction 15
ing local bus line can transmit analog or digital signals between
modules.
Trigger Bus
The trigger bus is an 8-line bus that connects all slots on the
PXES-2590, providing inter-module synchronization. PXI and
PXI Express modules can exchange trigger or clock signals
through the trigger bus, allowing precisely timed response to
asynchronous external events the system is monitoring or controlling.
Reference Clock
The PXES-2590 backplane supplies single-ended 10MHz reference clock (PXI_CLK10) and differential 100MHz clock
(PXIe_CLK100) to each peripheral slot for inter-module synchronization. The independent buffers drive the clock signal to
each peripheral slot.
These common reference clock signals can synchronize multiple modules in a PXI Express chassis. PXI modules with
phase-lock loop circuits can lock reference clocks to generate
an in-phase timebase.
The PXI_CLK10 and PXIe_CLK100 clocks are in-phase
according to the PXI-5 specification. Since the external 10MHz
clock input can override the onboard 10MHz clock source, a
phase-lock loop (PLL) circuit on the backplane synchronizes
the PXIe_CLK100 and external 10MHz clock. Three LED indicators on the left side of the system controller slot indicate status as follows.
