Introduction CP932

1.2 Board Overview

1.2.1 Board Introduction

The CP932 Gigabit Ethernet switch is a 3U/4HP CompactPCI board designed for use in a Com­pactPCI system or as a standalone application. The CP932 comes in two variants, with five Gi­gabit Ethernet channels, and with six Gigabit Ethernet channels. The five-channel variant is
fitted with an ATX power connector which enables the CP932 to be used as a standalone ap­plication. The six-channel variant is equipped with an additional Gigabit Ethernet channel which
enables the network traffic to be effected via the CompactPCI interface.

The function of the CP932 is to connect up to five different Gigabit Ethernet-enabled devices
with each other. The major component involved in this process is the high-performance, five­port Gigabit Ethernet switch controller for the five-channel variant, and the eight-port Gigabit
Ethernet switch controller for the six-channel variant. The controllers provide full support for
10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T via all available ports.

The CP932 includes five front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports and one CompactPCI connector.
On the six-channel variant, one Gigabit Ethernet PCI NIC port is available, which is realized
through a PCI Gigabit Ethernet chip connected, on the one side, to the host CPU via the Com­pactPCI interface and, on the other side, directly to the switch chip.

Network interfacing is accomplished using CAT5 UTP or better cabling for 10Base-T, 100Base­TX, and 1000-Base-T.

The power supply for the CP932 is delivered via the CompactPCI connector. On the five-chan­nel variant, the power supply can be optionally delivered via the ATX power connector.

The CP932 five-channel/six-channel, unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch is part of a compre­hensive concept to provide CompactPCI system integrators with a complete range of Compact­PCI communications products for data networks. This concept ensures a maximum degree of
system design flexibility, thus allowing efficient and effective use of available resources.

The following table provides a quick overview of the CP932 variants.

CP932 Introduction

1.2.2 Board-Specific Information

Specific board components involved in the Ethernet communications and data handling pro­cess are:

• Front panel connectors:

• Five RJ45 connectors with two integrated bicolor LEDs per channel

• Gigabit Ethernet switch:

• One five-port or eight-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, depending on the variant

• One CompactPCI connector

• One 4-pin ATX power connector to be used optionally as power source if the CP932 is
used as a standalone application (only on the five-channel variant)

• Two onboard dual switching voltage regulators

• Magnetics chips for galvanic isolation of each channel

1.2.3 System Level Interfacing

Depending on the variant, there are two different possibilities to integrate the CP932 into a sys­tem. The CP932 is equipped with a CompactPCI Connector for integration within a Compact­PCI System.

On the five-channel variant, the CompactPCI connector is used only for delivering the power.
If the ATX power connector is used as power source, the CP932 operates as a standalone ap­plication, i.e. no backplane is necessary.

Warning!

Either the CompactPCI connector or the ATX power connector may be used at
the same time. Failure to comply with the above may result in damage to your
board.

On the six-channel variant, the CompactPCI connector is used both for connecting the power
supply and for the PCI interfacing.

P R E L I M I N A R Y

2.2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Controller

The Gigabit Ethernet Switch controller is responsible for providing up to six channels of Gigabit
Ethernet MAC and PHY layer functionality. Depending on the variant, two different Gigabit
Ethernet switch controllers are used. The five-channel variant uses the Broadcom BCM5385
Gigabit Ethernet switch controller, whereas the six-channel variant uses the Broadcom
BCM5388 Gigabit Ethernet switch controller.

The highly integrated Broadcom BCM5388 and BCM5385 switch controllers combine all the
functions of a high-speed switch system, including packet buffer, PHY transceivers, media ac­cess controllers, address management, and a non-blocking switch fabric into a single CMOS
device. They comply with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3x specifications, includ­ing the MAC control, pause frame, and auto-negotiation subsections, providing compatibility
with all industry-standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet devices.

Functional Description CP932

These devices contain four full-duplex 10/100/1000BASE-T transceivers, each of which per­forms all of the physical layer interface functions for 10BASE-T Ethernet, 100BASE-TX, and
1000BASE-T Ethernet.

On the Broadcom BCM5388 switch controller, the remaining four ports feature a standard
RGMII interface to allow connection to the external 10/100/1000 Mbit/s PHY transceivers.
The six-channel variant of the CP932 uses only two of the remaining four ports of the Broad­com BCM5388 switch controller.

On the Broadcom BCM5385 switch controller, the remaining port features a standard RGMII
interface to allow connection to the external 10/100/1000 Mbit/s PHY transceiver.

For further information on the Broadcom BCM5388 and BCM5385 switch controllers, refer to
the respective data sheets.

2.2.1 Thermal Aspects

The CP932 is equipped with a heat sink mounted on the Gigabit Ethernet switch controller. The
physical size, shape, and construction ensures the best possible thermal resistance (R
efficients. In addition, the CP932 is specifically designed to efficiently support forced air flow
concepts as found in a modern CompactPCI system chassis.

2.3 Gigabit Ethernet PHY

The Broadcom BCM5461S Gigabit PHY transceiver converts the RGMII signals from the MAC
of the switch controller into the appropriate Ethernet signals.

The five-channel variant of the CP932 is equipped with one Gigabit PHY transceiver, whereas
the six-channel variant of the CP932 is fitted with two Gigabit PHY transceivers.

The Gigabit PHY1 transceiver converts one RGMII channel on the BCM5385/BCM5388 to a
PHY level channel on the RJ45 connector, J5, on the front panel.

The Gigabit PHY2 transceiver converts one RGMII channel on the BCM5388 to a PHY level
channel connected to the Intel 82541PI PCI Gigabit Ethernet controller. It is responsible for the
realization of the onboard NIC channel. PHY2 is only available on the six-channel variant of the
CP932.

The Gigabit PHY1 and PHY2 are fully integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet trans-

CP932 Functional Description

2.4 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Integrated NIC)

The six-channel variant of the CP932 provides one onboard NIC Gigabit Ethernet channel used
with the Intel 82541PI PCI Gigabit Ethernet controller. This chip provides, on the one hand, a
PCI interface communicating with the host over the CompactPCI backplane and, on the other
hand, a ready-to-use Gigabit Ethernet channel on copper PHY level.

The NIC Gigabit Ethernet channel is connected to the onboard PHY2 transceiver over two
magnetic devices. PHY2 itself is connected to the Broadcom BCM5388 Gigabit Ethernet switch
over the RGMII interface.

The network status of the PCI Gigabit Controller can be monitored via three onboard LEDs.

2.4.1 Onboard LEDs

The six-channel CP932 is equipped with three onboard LEDs for monitoring the network status
of the PCI Gigabit Controller.

2.5 Board Interfaces

2.5.1 Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces

The Ethernet wire cabling interface is implemented using five 8-pin, female, RJ45 connectors.
Connectors J4A - J4D are implemented as channels 1 - 4, and connector J5 is implemented
as channel 5. As the Gigabit Ethernet controller is able to automatically detect the cabling con­figuration and Ethernet standard in use, the pinout of the individual connectors is a function of
the implementation.

The following figure illustrates the pinout and LED positioning of the J4 and J5 connectors.

CP932 Power Considerations

5. Power Considerations

5.1 System Power

The considerations presented in the ensuing sections must be taken into account by system
integrators when specifying the CP932 system environment.

5.2 CP932 Voltage Ranges

The CP932 board itself has been designed for optimal power input and distribution. Still it is
necessary to observe certain criteria essential for application stability and reliability.

The table below indicates the absolute maximum input voltage ratings that must not be exceed­ed. Power supplies to be used with the CP932 should be carefully tested to ensure compliance
with these ratings.

Table 5-1: Absolute Maximum Ratings

SUPPLY VOLTAGE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS

+5 V +5.25 V

Warning!

The maximum permitted voltage indicated in the table above must not be
exceeded. Failure to comply with the above may result in damage to your
board.

The following table specifies the ranges for the different input power voltages within which the
board is functional. The CP932 is not guaranteed to function if the board is not operated within
the prescribed limits.

REMARKS

5.3 Backplane Requirements

Backplanes to be used with the CP932 must be adequately specified. The backplane must pro­vide optimal power distribution for the +3.3 V, +5 V and +12 V power inputs. It is recommended
to use only backplanes which have two power planes for the 3.3 V and +5 V voltages.

P R E L I M I N A R Y

Input power connections to the backplane itself should be carefully specified to ensure a mini­mum of power loss and to guarantee operational stability. Long input lines, under dimensioned
cabling or bridges, high resistance connections, etc. must be avoided. It is recommended to
use POSITRONIC or M-type connector backplanes and power supplies where possible.

ID 30048, Rev. 01 © 2005 Kontron Modular Computers GmbH Page 5 - 3

Power Considerations CP932

5.4 Power Supply Units

Power supplies for the CP932 must be specified with enough reserve for the remaining system
consumption. In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is recommended to
provide more power than the system requires. An industrial power supply unit should be able
to provide at least twice as much power as the entire system requires. An ATX power supply
unit should be able to provide at least three times as much power as the entire system requires.

As the design of the CP932 has been optimized for minimal power consumption, the power
supply unit shall be stable even without minimum load.

Where possible, power supplies which support voltage sensing should be used. Depending on
the system configuration this may require an appropriate backplane. The power supply should
be sufficient to allow for die resistance variations.

Note ...

Non-industrial ATX PSUs require a greater minimum load than a single CP932
is capable of creating. When a PSU of this type is used, it will not power up
correctly and the CP932 may hangup. The solution is to use an industrial PSU
or to add more load to the system.

If DC/DC power supplies are used, please ensure that the external main sup­ply provides sufficient power in order to start-up the system properly. The
external main supply should provide at least as much power as the system
power supply is able to provide taking into consideration the inrush current.

Warning!

An underdimensioned power supply may cause damage to system compo­nents.

The start-up behavior of CompactPCI and PCI (ATX) power supplies is critical for all new Com­pactPCI boards. These boards require a defined power sequence and start-up behavior of the
power supply. The required behavior is described in the ATX (http://www.formfactors.org/FF­Detail.asp?FFID=1&CatID=2) and the CompactPCI (PICMG, http://www.picmgeu.org/) speci­fication.

CP932 Power Considerations

5.4.1 Voltage Ramp

Power supplies must comply with the following guidelines, in order to be used with the CP932.

• Beginning at 10% of the nominal output voltage, the voltage must rise within

> 0.1 ms to < 20 ms to the specified regulation range of the voltage. Typically:
> 5 ms to < 15 ms.

• There must be a smooth and continuous ramp of each DC output voltage from

10% to 90% of the regulation band.

• The slope of the turn-on waveform shall be a positive, almost linear voltage increase and

have a value from 0 V to nominal Vout.

5.4.2 Voltage Sequencing Requirements

The +5 VDC output level must always be equal to or higher than the +3.3 VDC output during
power-up and normal operation.

5.4.3 Rise Time Diagram

The following figure illustrates an example of the recommended voltage ramp of a CompactPCI
power supply for all Kontron boards delivered up to now.

Power Considerations CP932

5.4.4 Recommended Operating Conditions

The tolerance of the voltage lines is described in the CompactPCI specification (PICMG 2.0
R3.0).The recommended measurement point for the voltage is the CompactPCI connector on
the CP932.

The output voltage overshoot generated during the application (load changes) or during the
removal of the input voltage must be less than 5% of the nominal value. No voltage of reverse
polarity may be present on any output during turn-on or turn-off.

The following table provides information regarding the required characteristics for each board
input voltage.

5 V +5.0 VDC +5%/-3% 50 mV

V I/O

(PCI signaling voltage)

GND Ground, not directly connected to protective earth (PE)

+3.3 VDC or +5 VDC +5%/-3% 50 mV

5.4.5 Supply Voltage Regulation

The power supply shall be unconditionally stable under line, load, unload and transient load
conditions including capacitive loads. The operation of the power supply must be consistent
even without the minimum load on all output lines.

Note ...

Non-industrial ATX PSUs require a greater minimum load than a single CP932
is capable of creating. When a PSU of this type is used, it will not power up
correctly and the CP932 may hang up. The solution is to use an industrial PSU
or to add more load to the system.

Note ...

If the main power input is switched off, the supply voltages will not go to 0V

instantly. It will take a couple of seconds until capacitors are discharged. If the
voltage rises again before it has gone below a certain level, the circuits may
enter a latch-up state where even a hard RESET will not help any more. The
system must be switched off for at least 3 seconds before it may be switched
on again. If problems still occur, turn off the main power for 30 seconds before
turning it on again.
