1.6. Environmental Considerations

1.6.1. Environmental Specification

Kontron defines the following operating and non-operating (storage) temperature ranges. In a passively cooled
system the ambient temperature, where ambient is the temperature surrounding the CompactPCI rack, must be
considered when placing the board in a CompactPCI backplane slot within the CompactPCI system rack.

The difference between the ambient temperature surrounding the CompactPCI rack and the
operating temperature on the PCB inside the system must be considered.

Operating Altitude Up to 2000 m maximum

1.6.2. Thermal Management

The CP933 is designed to efficiently support forced airflow concepts as found in a modern CompactPCI rack
supporting vertical card orientation for improved cooling. The CP933’s physical size, shape, and construction ensures
the best possible thermal resistance (Rth) coefficients.

Forced air-cooling is a requirement and must be considered in the system.

Table 7: Thermal Aspects

Thermal Aspects

Forced Airflow For proper operation at the specified temperatures, the CP933 requires

a minimum airflow of 1 m/s.

When used in a dust-prone environment, an air filter must be considered within CompactPCI

CompactPCI board for use in CompactPCI systems using the CompactPCI bus architecture.

The CP933 comprising of the following main functional components:

 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Controller

 Five 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports (with copper PHYs)

 Integrated NIC

 Ethernet controller supporting an integrated NIC

 PCI to PCIe Bridge

 Connects the Ethernet controller’s PCI Express interface to the PCI interface of the CompactPCI backplane

 Five sets of integrated status LEDs for each RJ45 connector to monitor link/activity, and speed

 Three on-board status LEDs to monitor the Gigabit Ethernet NIC link/activity, and speed

 CompactPCI Connector

 32-bit, female connector (J1)

2.2. Gigabit Ethernet Switch Controller

The Marvell 88E6352 Gigabit Ethernet switch controller provides the CP933 with up to six Ethernet ports, where five
ports feature full-duplex 10 100/1000-triple speed Ethernet transceivers (copper PHYs) that are auto MDI/MDI-X
capable.

The CP933’s sixth port uses the Ethernet switch controller’s SERDES digital interface, to connect to an Ethernet
controller chip and act as an integrated NIC connecting to the master CPU of the CompactPCI system. The SERDES
digital interface has one defined configuration speed (1000 Mbit/s) and therefore the CP933’s sixth Ethernet port
does not require auto-negotiation as only one speed is supported. Additionally, crossover MDI-X Ethernet signals are
not required.

The Ethernet switch controller combines all the functions of a high-speed switch system, including high performance
non-blocking Gigabit switch fabric with state-of-the-art features such as 1 Mbit frame buffer memory, jumbo frame
support for up to 10 KBytes, and a high performance look-up engine with support for up to 8 K MAC addresses.
Furthermore, the Ethernet Switch controller has fully integrated 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet transceiver
(copper PHYs) meeting the requirements of IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab standards and complying with the IEEE

802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards.

For further information on the Marvell 88E6352 Ethernet switch controller, refer to the Marvell 88E6352 data sheet.

2.3. Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Integrated NIC)

The Intel® I210-IS Ethernet controller acts as an integrated NIC by enabling the Ethernet switch controller’s SERDES
interface to connect to the master CPU over the Compact PCI backplane. The Ethernet Controller achieves this by
connecting its PCI Express interface to a PCI to PCI Express bridge in reverse mode.

The SERDES has only one defined configuration speed of 1000 Mbit/s therefore; auto-negotiation is not required.
Additionally, crossover MDI-X Ethernet signals are not required. The Ethernet controller’s configuration data is stored
within a separate flash memory.

2.4. PCI to PCI Express Bridge

In CompactPCI systems, a PCI interface connects to the CompactPCI backplane. The CP933 uses the Pericom
PI7C9X111SL PCI to PCI Express reversible bridge featuring 3.3 V V(I/O) PCI signaling with 5 V V(I/O) tolerances, 32-bit
PCI signaling, and up to 66 MHz PCI clock support. The PCI to PCI Express bridge operates in reverse mode connecting
the Ethernet controller’s PCI Express interface to the PCI interface of the CompactPCI backplane.

2.5. Ethernet Transformers (Magnetics)

The Ethernet switch controller receives Ethernet transmit and receive signals over five Ethernet transformers also
known as magnetics that connect the five front panel RJ45 connectors to the Ethernet switch controller. The Ethernet
transformers maintain consistent wave shape and suppression of common mode noise for data communication while
providing equipment isolation in accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard and are especially useful in industrial
environments, where voltage potential differences between the different transmission stations can occur.

2.6. Front Panel Status LEDs

The five pairs of front panel status LEDs are controlled by the Ethernet switch controller, and integrated within the
RJ45 connector. The front panel status LEDs display the network link/activity and speed of the connector’s Ethernet
port. The output polarity (ON/OFF) of the LED as well as blinking defines the network link/activity and speed.

Speed

The front panel RJ45 connector operates with 10/100/1000 triple speed Ethernet. To indicate the actual speed of the
Ethernet connection the yellow status LED lights up to indicated 10 Mbit/s, the green status LED lights up to indicate
1000Mbit/s and both LEDs light up to indicate 100 Mbit/s.

Network Link and Activity

The LEDs blink to indicate an established network connection and network activity such as sent or received packets
through the RJ45 connector. When the status LED does not blink, it means that there is no network activity. The
yellow status LED blinks when a 10 Mbit/s network link is established and active. The green LED blinks when a 1000
Mbit/s network link is established and active. Both LEDs blink when a 100 Mbit/s network link is established and
active.

2.7. On-board Status LEDs

The three on-board status LEDs display the network link/activity and speed of the sixth Ethernet NIC port. The
Ethernet controller’s LED circuit output drivers control the on-board status LEDs. The output polarity (ON/OFF) as
well as blinking shows the network link/activity and speed as described below

2. 100 Mbit/s (green)

 ON 100 Mbit/s (Used for test purposes only)

3. 1000 Mbit/s (green)

 ON 1000 Mbit/s

The Ethernet NIC uses the SERDES interface that specifies a speed of 1000 Mbit/s to connect to the Ethernet
controller, therefore only the 1000 Mbits/s on-board status LED lights up. The 100 Mbit/s LED is included for test
purposes only and under normal conditions will not light up

The SERDES interface specifies 1000 Mbit/s. Therefore, the Ethernet NIC port does not
operate at 100 Mbit/s. If the 100 Mbit/s LED lights up this could indicate an error.

that are required for operation.

CP933 - Gigabit Ethernet Switch with Integrated NIC - Rev.1.0

www.kontron.com // 30

5/ Power Considerations

The CP933 has been designed for optimal power input and distribution. However, it is still necessary to observe
certain criteria essential for application stability and reliability. When specifying the CP933’s system environment,
power specifications must be taken into account by system integrators.

5.1. System Power

The CP933 is powered by the CompactPCI backplane as specified in the CompactPCI specification (PICMG 2.0 Rev 3.0),
and to power up, the CP933 must be connected to a CompactPCI backplane.

Power is supplied from the CompactPCI backplane only. The CP933 cannot be used as a
standalone board.

5.2. Voltage Requirements

The CP933 uses a nominal supply voltage of +3.3 VDC from the CompactPCI backplane with a tolerance range of
+5 %/-3% that must not be exceeded. If operated outside the specified voltage tolerance range, the CP933 is not
guaranteed.

The CP933 features universal +3.3 V V(I/O) PCI signaling with a 5 V V( I/O) tolerance, enabling the CP933 to operate
within a CompactPCI system with either +3.3 V or 5 V V(I/O) PCI signal voltages.

Table 13: Supply Voltage Specification

Voltage Type Voltage Value Tolerance

Supply Voltage +3.3 VDC +5 %/-3%

V( I/O)
(PCI signaling voltage)

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

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

The maximum permitted voltage must not be exceeded, failure to comply may result in
damage to your board.

5.3. Backplane Requirements

The backplane must provide optimal power distribution for +3.3 VDC. It is recommended to use backplanes with a
power plane for +3.3 VDC only. Input power connections to the backplane should be specified carefully to ensure a
minimum of power loss and to guarantee operational stability. Long input lines, under dimensioned cabling or
bridges, high resistance connections, and other possible aspects that could affect power distribution must be
avoided.

5.4. Power Consumption

The typical theoretical maximum power consumption in Watts (W) is 4.5 W, at a nominal voltage of +3.3 VDC and
under full load.

The power consumption is a calculated typical theoretical maximum and has not been
measured or tested.
