Product Description

PCIe8LXMCX1 is part of the Dynamic Engineering PCI and XMC Compatible family of
modular I/O components. PCIe8LXMCX1 adapts an XMC to one PCIe slot.

The PC is still a frequent host to embedded HW for development, and delivery. With
the PCIe bus overtaking PCI, XMC’s and PC’s with PCIe are becoming common. Use
PCIe8LXMCX1 to use your XMC in your PC using an x8 or x16 position.

Special features:

• Passive 8 lane Gen1/2 design

• Voltage monitors, each with LED’s on plus 12V, minus 12V, plus 5V, plus 3.3V

• 10A regulator for XMC 3.3V and 5V supplies

• Selection switch for VPWR [12V or 5V]. Option for hardwired 5V or 12V

• Front panel connector access through PCI bracket

• User IO [Pn4] available through one of two cable connectors (DIN IDC or SCSI II
compatible) Spare pins on SCSI connector can be shunt selected to power or
ground.

• Cooling cutout for increased airflow to XMC’s

• Optional Fan(s) for increased airflow

• JTAG programming support

• DIP switch to select global addressing on XMC’s

The PCIe8LXMCX1 is ready to use with the default settings. Just install the XMC onto
the PCIe8LXMCX1 and then into the system.
