INTRODUCTION

The Flex CPU piggyback board (Part # 300-603605-10x) for the PMAC/PMAC2 and Turbo
PMAC/PMAC2 families of boards provides new high-end capabilities for these controllers and uses
newer components with longer product lifetimes. It can be manufactured in a wide variety of
configurations, and can be used in the following products:

• PMAC(1)-PC

• PMAC(1)-PCI

• PMAC(1)-VME

• PMAC2-PC

• PMAC2-PCI

• PMAC2-VME

• Turbo PMAC(1)-PC

• Turbo PMAC(1)-PCI

• Turbo PMAC(1)-VME

• Turbo PMAC2-PC

• Turbo PMAC2-PCI

• Turbo PMAC2-VME

On the regular (non-Turbo) PMAC(1) and PMAC2 boards, the Flex CPU is provided automatically when
any of the following CPU options are ordered:

• Option 5AF: 40 MHz CPU with 128k x 24 internal SRAM

• Option 5CF: 80 MHz CPU with 128k x 24 internal SRAM

• Option 5EF: 160 MHz CPU with 128k x 24 internal SRAM

The Flex CPU board is not provided if Option 4x or 5x is not ordered, or if Option 4A, 5A, 5B, or 5C is
ordered.

On Turbo PMAC(1) and Turbo PMAC2 boards, the Flex CPU may be provided when any of the
following CPU options is ordered:

• Option 5C0: 80 MHz DSP56303 CPU with 8k x 24 internal SRAM, 256k x 24 external SRAM

• Option 5C3: 80 MHz DSP56303 CPU with 8k x 24 internal SRAM, 1M x 24 external SRAM

• Option 5D0: 100 MHz DSP56309 CPU with 34k x 24 internal SRAM, 256k x 24 external SRAM

• Option 5D3: 100 MHz DSP56309 CPU with 34k x 24 internal SRAM, 1M x 24 external SRAM

In these cases, however, the older Turbo only CPU piggyback board may also be provided.
On Turbo PMAC(1) and Turbo PMAC2 boards, the Flex CPU will be provided automatically when either

of the following CPU options is ordered:

• Option 5E0: 160 MHz DSP56309 CPU with 128k x 24 internal SRAM, 256k x 24 external SRAM

• Option 5E3: 160 MHz DSP56309 CPU with 128k x 24 internal SRAM, 1M x 24 external SRAM

BOARD CONFIGURATION

Non-Turbo CPU Base Configuration

When assembled for a non-Turbo CPU, the DSP IC in U1 of the Flex CPU board contains all of the
memory required for operation. Therefore, there are no ICs installed in the locations for external RAM:
U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, and U16.

The CPU is available in several speed options: 40 MHz (Option 5AF), 80 MHz (Option 5CF), and 160
MHz (Option 5EF). The maximum frequency of operation is indicated with a sticker on the CPU in U1.

When the Flex CPU is built for ISA-bus or VME-bus baseboards, the P3 connector consists of a 36-pin
header on the solder side for direct connection to the baseboard, and a 10-pin header on the component
side for cable connection of the extra signals required for dual-ported RAM interface. When the Flex
CPU is built for PCI-bus baseboards the P3 connector consists only of a 56-pin header on the solder side
for direct connection of all signals to the baseboard.

Non-Turbo CPU Further Options

The Option 16 battery-backed parameter RAM provides a bank of non-volatile memory for the controller.
Its key components are RAM ICs in U17, U18, and U19, and a battery in BT1

Turbo CPU Base Configuration

When assembled for a Turbo CPU section, the Flex CPU board contains external RAM ICs in locations
U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16. With the standard memory configuration (Option 5x0), these ICs fill the
smaller footprint in these locations, leaving an open pin on the board on each end of each side.

When the Flex CPU is built for ISA-bus or VME-bus baseboards, the P3 connector consists of a 36-pin
header on the solder side for direct connection to the baseboard, and a 10-pin header on the component
side for cable connection of the extra signals required for dual-ported RAM interface. When the Flex
CPU is built for PCI-bus baseboards the P3 connector consists only of a 56-pin header on the solder side
for direct connection of all signals to the baseboard.

Turbo CPU Further Options

If an expanded memory configuration (Option 5x3) is ordered, larger RAM ICs are installed in locations
U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, occupying the full footprints in these locations

If the Option 9T auxiliary serial port is ordered for the Turbo PMAC controller, an RS-232 serial port is
provided on the CPU board to supplement the serial port on the baseboard. The key components are ICs
in U28 and U29, and the connector J8.

The Option 16A battery-backed parameter RAM provides a bank of non-volatile memory for the
controller. Its key components are RAM ICs in U17, U18, and U19, and a battery in BT1
