Product Description

PCIe8LSwVPX3U is part of the Dynamic Engineering PCI and VPX Compatible family
of modular I/O components. PCIe8LSwVPX3U adapts a 3U VPX device to one PCIe
position.

PCIe8LSwVPX3U features a 16 lane switch buffering the connection between the Gold
fingers on the PCIe side and the VPX connector. The switch provides isolation to allow
the VPX side to operate at a different Gen level than the upstream port, and to provide
clock domain separation. In many cases it is desirable to have the upstream port run
Spread Spectrum enabled, and the VPX side operate with a fixed frequency clock. The
switch is Gen3 compliant and can operate with Gen 1, 2 or 3 on either port.

New with Revision B, PCIe8LSwVPX3U has support for both SSC and NSSC clocking
on the VPX port. REF_CLK is supported with a 25 MHz SSC. The switch can be
programmed via dipswitch to use SSC or NSSC on the downstream port. The installed
VPX card will need to match the settings for proper operation.

Extended testing has been performed in both modes using the VPX8LXMC3U adapter
and an installed XMC-Parallel-TTL. DMA operations were run overnight multiple times
in both modes without failure or TLP corrections required at the switch.

VPX devices have 3 connectors for Power, Bus IF, and IO respectively.

The power connector supplies 5V, 3.3V and 12V. PCIe has +12V available. Local
power supplies generate the 3.3V and 5V for the VPX module. Approximately 10A are
available on each rail. Voltage monitor circuits check under and overvoltage conditions
of each rail including the ones for the switch, and illuminate an LED when the voltage is
within tolerance.

The Bus IF connector provides up to 8 lanes from the downstream port on the switch.

Differential routing with length and impedance control are maintained for all relevant
PCIe signals on both sides of the switch.

The IO is routed from the VPX rear IO connector through to a SCSI connector mounted
at the bezel of PCIe8LSwVPX3U. Differential routing with impedance control and
matched length traces are employed.

T&I

PCIe8LSwVPX3U is ready to use with the default settings. Just install the VPX onto the
PCIe8LSwVPX3U and then into the system. The board is designed to allow the use of
the PCIe8LSwVPX3U + VPX with other 1/2 length cards in the system.

For example we have a test set-up for a VPX card [VPX-RCB] with differential IO. We
use PMC-BiSerial-III to act as a system simulator. PCIeBPMC + PMC BiSerial III in the
front slot to create, and read back the IO. PCIe8LSwVPX3U + VPX in the second slot
for test. The BiSerial also has a SCSI connector allowing easy connection between the
bezels for a complete test path.

PCIe8LSwVPX3U VPX (PCIe downstream) port supports both PCI Express
Independent Non-Spread Spectrum Clocking (NSSC) and VITA Spread Spectrum
Clocking (SSC). The upstream/host port supports a PCIe REFCLK that is either a SSC
or a NSSC, or can be configured to use an on board NSSC if desired. Figure 1 shows
the clocking architecture of the PCIe8LSwVPX3U. The clocking mode is selected using
DIP Switches described in the DIP switch settings section.

Headers and TestPoints

H2 is an optional JTAG header used to connect to VPX J0. The pin definitions are in

the silk. 1: 3.3V, 2: GND, 6: TMS, 4: TDO, 5: TDI, 3: TCK. Pin numbering matches
flying lead breakout on Xilinx programmer. Other vendor programmers can also be
used.

J1 is an optional use header to support the serial bus connection to the Switch. 1 =

SMDAT [pull-up 4.7K to 3.3V] 2 = gnd, 3 = SMCLK [pull-up 4.7K to 3.3V].

J2 & J3 control the voltage on 33, 67 and 34, 68 of P2 respectively. 1-2 selects 3.3V

and 2-3 selects ground on those pins. The shunt and traces are rated for 1A. Not fuse
protected.

J4 & J5 control the timing of the 3.3V and 5V power supplies. 1-2 selects delayed, 2-3

selects immediate, open selects off. J4 controls 3.3V and J5 controls 5V.

J7(p) & J8(n) are SMA connectors tied to the NSSC 100 MHz. These connectors can

be used as a reference to the clock used by the Switch in NSSC mode.

J9(p) & J10(n) are SMA connectors tied to the SSC 100 MHz. These connectors can

be used as a reference to the clock used by the Switch in SSC mode.

(J6 and J11 are unused reference designators)

J12 control the reference on the PCIe bezel. 1-2 selects AC coupled 2-3 selects DC

coupled and open is uncoupled to ground.

P3 is an optional power connector to allow for added 12V power to be used by the

PCIe8LSwVPX3U. The PCIe gold fingers allow for about 60W of power to be
consumed by the board across all VPX voltages including power supply losses. In
many cases the power budget is more than sufficient. If your VPX requires more power
please request the optional power connector [6 wire standard PC 2x3] to increase the
12V available. Both 12V entry points are diode coupled to prevent the current back­feeding when an external or other supply is added.

P3: 1, 2, 3= 12V, 4, 5, 6 = gnd.

Applications Guide

Interfacing

Some general interfacing guidelines are presented below. Do not hesitate to contact the
factory if you need more assistance.

Installation
The VPX is mounted to the PCIe8LSwVPX3U prior to installation within the chassis.
PCIe8LSwVPX3U is fitted with VPX compliant mounting / alignment pins. J0 is toward
the top of the card. The alignment pins are offset to provide keying to prevent improper
card installation. Rocking the VPX slightly during installation can help with the process
of installation. The blades have proven to be quite robust, however; the connectors are
expensive so be careful.

Since the VPX is mounted at right angles to the adapter the weight of the VPX is
cantilevered out from the PCIe card. If mounted in a chassis and the bezel is screwed
in place you may be ok. If not you will need to support the VPX. We have found

stacking Lego’s to be a very handy approach as the height can be altered to match the

set-up and the wide base is stable.

The IC’s will be on the outside – toward the right when viewing the component side of
the PCIe8LSwVPX3U. This will allow for full access to your devices when probing. We
use with an open chassis – no frame – to allow for better access to everything.

The JTAG header can be installed on the rear of PCIe8LSwVPX3U to keep the JTAG
programmer out of the way when working on the installed VPX. This will also allow the
VPX to be swapped out without disconnecting the JTAG programmer.

Start-up
Make sure that the "system" can see your hardware before trying to access it. Many
BIOS will display the PCI/PCIe devices found at boot up on a "splash screen” with the
VendorID and CardID for the VPX installed and an interrupt level. If the information is
not available from the BIOS then a third party PCI device cataloging tool will be helpful.

Watch the system grounds. All electrically connected equipment should have a fail­safe common ground that is large enough to handle all current loads without affecting
noise immunity. Power supplies and power consuming loads should all have their own
ground wires back to a common point.

Embedded Solutions Page

16

Power all system power supplies from one switch. Connecting external voltages to
the PCIe8LSwVPX3U when it is not powered can damage it, as well as the rest of the
host system. This problem may be avoided by turning all power supplies on and off at
the same time. This applies more to the VPX installed onto the PCIe8LSwVPX3U than
the PCIe8LSwVPX3U itself, and it is smart system design when it can be achieved.

Construction and Reliability

The PCIe8LSwVPX3U is constructed out of 0.062 inch thick high temp RoHS compliant
FR4 material. The components on the PCIe8LSwVPX3U are tied into the internal
power planes to spread the dissipated heat out over a larger area. This is an effective
cooling technique in the situation where a large portion of the board has little or no
power dissipation.

The VPX Module connectors are keyed and shrouded with Gold plated pins on both
plugs and receptacles. The current rating varies with the blade type. At the moment
Tyco is the only vendor providing VPX connectors.

Thermal Considerations

If the VPX installed has a large heat dissipation; forced air cooling is recommended.

The VITA Specification defines, and the PCIe8LSwVPX3U circuits support the VITA
maximum of 32 circuits connected together on a common transmission media.

The PCIe8LSwVPX3U implements this feature per VITA specification by generating,
supplying, and using a common 25MHz VITA SSC that is transmitted and received
using M-LVDS differential transceivers. The PCIe8LSwVPX3U can be optionally
configured to provide and use its VITA 25MHz SSC to supply the PCIe Switches’
downstream port with a 100MHz SSC clock generated from the received 25MHz VITA
SSC. Dynamic Engineering has validated the PCIe8LSwVPX3U VITA 25MHz SSC
clocking design using Dynamic Engineering VPX8LXMC3U carrier (also supports VITA
SSC clocking) and the XMC-PARALLEL-TTL board. Figure 5 shows the maximum
configuration of 32 circuits connected together.
