Not all of these connectors may be present or functional on your actual C23-SATA board.
Assembly of these connectors is highly custom specific. Discuss your needs with EKF before
ordering.

Requires CPU carrier board with AC'97 audio support. Contact EKF for an Azalia HD Audio
compliant variant of the C23-SATA. The audio facility is provided in the ICH component (AKA
southbridge), located on the CPU carrier board. Latest ICH versions no longer support AC'97.

Technical Information C23-SATA • PCIe to SATA RAID Controller Mezzanine Card
Short Description
Available as a mezzanine add-on expansion
board to the CCD-CALYPSO, CCG-RUMBA and
successor CPU cards, the C23-SATA provides a
number of additional I/O functions. First of all,
the C23-SATA comprises an SATA/PATA
controller, which is useful for system internal
attachment of mass-storage devices (e.g. hard
disks or SATA SSD, and optical drives).
Furthermore the C23-SATA is equipped with an
SIO, which provides legacy I/O ports, such as
serial COM ports, and PS/2 KB/MS. A secondary
Firmware Hub can be configured as alternateor backup-BIOS. Another option available is the
Trusted Platform Module according to TPM 1.2
for safety critical applications.
The C23-SATA will be attached on top of the
CPU carrier board, and typically shares its front
panel with the host carrier (usually 8HP front
panel width in total). Interconnection between
the C23-SATA I/O module and the CPU carrier
board is achieved by two expansion connectors,
which comprise the PCIe (PCI Express x 1) and
LPC (Low Pin Count) interfaces.
As an option, the C23-SATA can accommodate
a low profile industrial grade USB Flash disk
module (Silicon State Drive).
The on-board Audio Codec might be useful for
applications such as passenger information
systems.
C23-SATA on a CPU Carrier Board (8HP Assembly)
© EKF -9- ekf.com
Technical Information C23-SATA • PCIe to SATA RAID Controller Mezzanine Card
The C23-SATA communicates by means of two
bottom mount expansion connectors with the
host CPU: P-PCIE (PCI Express x 1), and P-EXP
(multi-function I/F such as LPC, USB, SMB,
AC'97).
The PCI Express interface (connector P-PCIE)
requires a single lane (one of up to 4 PCIe lanes
provided by the CPU carrier board), which is
derived from the ICH (southbridge chip) on the
CPU carrier board. The PCIe lane is dedicated to
the SATA controller, which is the main
component of the C23-SATA.
Connector P-EXP combines several other
southbridge data channels: The LPC (Low Pin
Count) is a multiplexed ISA bus, e.g. enabling
the super-I/O (SIO) controller chip to emulate
the legacy I/O interfaces; among these are the
classic serial (COM) ports, AKA RS-232 / RS-485.
In addition, two USB channels are provided on
the P-EXP connector, in use for the optional onboard USB SSD mezzanine module, and a type
A USB receptacle.
If audio support is required on the C23-SATA,
either an AC'97 audio codec (CCD-CALYPSO),
or HD Audio codec (CCG-RUMBA,
CCM-BOOGIE) can be stuffed, dependent from
the particular CPU carrier board in use.
The Trusted Platform Module is an optionally
available cryptographic chip, which provides a
comprehensive hardware and software solution
for safer computing. Conforming to the TPM1.2
standard of the TCG, the TPM is comprised of a
16-bit security controller and additional
hardware e.g. to generate 2048 bit RSA keys
and true random numbers, thus meeting the
highest industry rating for digital security.
The C23-SATA fits on the top side of the CPU
board, which is on the right side when viewing
the common front panel. A suitable backplane
provides its CPCI slots beginning with the CPU
carrier board (CPCI system slot) from right to
left. The CPCI enclosure must provide sufficient
mounting space to the right side for the
C23-SATA.

© EKF • DVI/VGA • Front Panel CCM-BOOGIE with C23-SATA COM-C/AUDIO Mezzanine Side Board ekf.com
Typically the carrier board CPU and the C23-SATA share a common 3U/8HP front panel. There may be
reasons for further widening of the front panel (e.g. 12HP width); this would provide additional space
e.g. for another serial port connector (CU-series module). Please discuss your needs for an individual
solution with EKF.
