1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
J1
P2 P1 P2
The VX402C-64 Active Carrier allows an A- or B-size VME, VXI, or VME64 module to be used
in a C-size VXI mainframe chassis. Throughout the rest of this manual, the VME/VXI card being
carried will be referred to as the VME module.
The carrier provides an actively-buffered electrical interface for the standard VME bus signals.
The VX402C-64 does not support the full VME64 extension bus; however, -0001, -0003, and
-0004 versions provide +3.3V power to the P1 row D VME64 extension. The adapter also
features a VXI C-size mechanical enclosure to support and shield the VME module. The carrier
and its enclosure have been designed so that the front panel of the VME module sits flush with
the front panels of other C-size modules as shown in Figure 1.
The VX402C-64 supports interrupts and provides a capability for bringing P2 VME signals to the
front panel. The carrier also supports VXI VXITTL triggers and a prototype area is provided for
buffering the VXI SUMBUS signal. These features allow the VME module to transparently
interface to a C-size chassis.

1.2.1 Key Features
Provides direct access to the VME module’s front panel I/O connections
Supplies buffered data, address, interrupt, and trigg er lines (ECL and TTL)
Includes direct SUMBUS connections, as well as a prototypi ng area with fused ±12V
power supplies for buffered SUMBUS connections (jumper selectable)
Conforms with VMEbus/VXIbus driving and loading specifications
Provides VME64 +3.3V supplies (-0001, -0003, and -0004 versions only)
Mates with VXI, VME, and VME64 rear connectors
1.2.2 Electrical
The -0001, -0003, and -0004 versions provide +3.3V power to the P1 row D VME64 extension.
The -0002 version does not provide +3.3V power. A simplified power schematic for each
version is shown in Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4. Excluding the +3.3V supply, the VX402C64 only requires 300mA of +5V power from the VXI backplane. This power requirement is for
the VX402C-64 alone. Any attached module will increase this value by the amount specified in
its data sheet.
Table I provides a summary of the supply capabilities of each version. The table assumes that
the VXI backplane is capable providing 1.2A on each of the seven +5V power pins. For versions
-0003 and -0004, 1.2A on the -24V and +24V pins.

2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
In most cases the VX402C-64 is individually sealed and packaged for shipment. Verify that there
has been no damage to the shipping container. If damage exists then the container should be
retained as it will provide evidence of carrier caused problems. Such problems should be
reported to the carrier immediately as well as to C&H. If there is no damage to the shipping
container, carefully remove the module from its box and anti static bag and inspect for any signs
of physical damage. If damage exists, report immediately to C&H.
2.2 HAND LING PRECAUTIONS
The VX402C-64 contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. When
handling the module for any reason, do so at a static-controlled workstation, whenever possible.
At a minimum, avoid work areas that are potential static sources, such as carpeted areas. Avoid
unnecessary contact with the components on the module.
2.3 INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Read the entire User's Manual before proceeding with the
installation and application of power.
If necessary, remove the shield from the VX402C-64 and configure the switches and jumpers.
Replace the shield and insert the carrier into the appropriate slot according to the desired priority.
Insert the VME module through the front panel of the VX402C-64. Push firmly until the VME
module’s rear connectors are fully inserted into the front connector of the VX402C-64. Apply
power. If no obvious problems exist, proceed to communicate with the VME module.
The VX402C-64 connectors require high insertion force to completely connect with the VME
module. If it is difficult to assemble the unit through the front panel, it is recommended that the
VX402C-64 shield be removed, and the boards be mated before insertion into the chassis.
2.4 PREPARATION FOR RESHIPMENT
If the module is to be shipped separately it should be enclosed in a suitable water and vapor proof
anti static bag. Heat seal or tape the bag to insure a moisture-proof closure. When sealing the
C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com
bag, keep trapped air vol ume to a minimum.
The shipping container should be a rigid box of sufficient size and strength to protect the
equipment from damage. If the module was received separately from a C&H system, then the
original module shipping container and packing material may be re-used if it is still in good
condition.

3.3 CONNECTORS
3.3.1 VXI REAR Connectors
The P1 and P2 connectors are configured in accordance with the VXI specification and utilize
the ECL and TTL trigger lines. Pinout details for the rear connectors can be found in Appendix
A.
3.3.2 VME-64 FRONT CONNECTORS
C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com
The VX402C-64 interfaces with the VME module through two 160 pin VME-64 connectors: J1
and J2. These connectors conform to VME and VXI specifications and can accept both 160 pin
VME-64 (DIN 41 612 type C) and standard 96 pin VME/VXI connectors. Pinout details for the
front connectors can be found in Appendix A.

3.3.3 PASS-THROUGH CONNECTORS
J1
P1 P2
J11 J12
One major difference between the VME bus and the VXI bus is that the outer rows of the P2
connector are not defined on the VME bus and they are defined on the VXI bus. For this reason,
the VX402C-64 Active Module Carrier provides a Pass-Through Connector system that be used
to optionally connect or not connect the VME P2 Rows A & C signals to the VXI P2 Rows A &
C signals.
The VX402C-64 can be shipped with an optional pass-through connector cable (11028508-
0001). This cable is used to make internal connections between the P2 and J2 connectors on the
VX402C-64. When the cable is installed, signals on the J2 connector of the VME module are
routed to signals on the P2 connector of the backplane. Only use this cable for modules which
utilize the outer rows on the J2 connector and completely adhere to the VXI specification. If the
VME module has no outer row connections, it is unnecessary to install the cable.
If the VME module has P2 signals which do not conform to the VXI spec, it may be necessary to
make a custom pass-through cable. Also, if the VME module does not support the outer row of
the J2 connector, a longer cable may be used to directly access these signals. Pinout details for
the pass-through connectors can be found in Appendix A. Figure 8 shows the placement of the
pass-through connectors on the VX402C-64.

A one-to-one cable that connects Pin 1 (C32) on the VXI side to Pin 1 (C32) on the VME side,
and so on, could only be used if the VME module was designed to meet all of the VXI bus
specifications for these pins. If the installed VME module can not handle -24V, +24V, -5.2V or
any other signal on the corresponding pin, then a one-to-one cable can not be used.
The signal list for both the VXI side and the VME side is shown in Table II. The pass-through
connectors on the PCB are standard 64-pin (32x2) shrouded headers, specifically Samtec TST132-01-S-D. Mating connectors are very common in both IDC and discreet wire varieties.

To use the VXI TTLTRG signals, a custom cable should be used that connects each TTLTRG
signal to the desired VME P2 connector signal. The VX402C-64 has a set of eight switches that
are set to specify the direction of the trigger signal as shown Figure 6. If the trigger signal is an
input to the VME module, the switch should be ON (closed). If the trigger signal is output from
the VME module, the switch should be OFF (open).

12V J21
The VX402C-64 provides a direct connection of the SUMBUS signal through the pass-through
connector to the front connectors. The board also has a prototyping area so that the user can
hardwire a custom buffer for the SUMBUS signal.
3.4.1 S UMBUS CUSTOM AREA
The SUMBUS custom area consists of a prototyping grid, ±12V supplies, and two jumpers for
configuring the signal. The prototyping area is a 10x10 grid of 0.1” spaced through-hole pads
which can be used in any way desired. The SUMBUS signal can be wired to the prototyping area
using the two pads next to jumpers J21 and J13, and the jumpers must be configured to the
proper setting. The location of the custom area can be seen in Figure 9.

In order to use the SUMBUS signal, the jumpers J11 and J12 must be configured properly. The
three different settings for the jumpers can be seen in Figure 10. The SUMBUS signal can be
connected directly to the front panel (A), connected through the prototyping area (B), or
disconnected (C).
The pass-through connector must be installed for the SUMBUS signal to route to the front panel.
Also, both jumpers must be configured the same, or the SUMBUS signal will be disconnected.

4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
While the VX402C-64 is an active carrier, it is designed to be completely transparent to the host
interface. For this reason, the VME module can be accessed as if it were plugged directly into
the host backplane.
In order to operate the VME module, first set up the hardware configurations on the VX402C-64.
Then set the necessary trigger directions using the switches. Ensure the jumpers are set for proper
SUMBUS signal routing. Install or remove the pass-through connector cable as desired and
replace the shield if necessary.
The unit is now ready to be inserted into the chassis. Next, install the VME module into the front
connectors of the VX402C-64. Once power is applied, the VME module can be readily accessed
as if it were plugged directly in the backplane.
