The SMP7500 is a high-performance I/O module that has been designed for high data throughput
and flexibility of configuration. The instrument uses direct register access for very high-speed data
input and retrieval.
The SMP7500 is a member of the VXI Technology SMIP II™ (Switch Modularity Instrumentation Platform) family and is available as a 96-channel, single SMIP Plug-In Module. As many as six
SMP7500s may be configured in a single double-slot VXI module, and 2 in a single-wide VXI
module. This would allow as many as 576 for a double-wide or 192 digital I/O for a single-wide
VXI Module. In addition, the SMP7500 may be combined with any of the other members of the
SMIP family to form a customized and highly integrated instrument/switch test solution. This
allows the user to reduce system size and cost by combining the SMP7500 with another
instrument/switch function in a single wide, C-size VXIbus module.
Regardless of whether the SMP7500 is configured with other SMP7500 modules or with other
SMIP II modules, each group of 96 channels is treated as an independent plug-in in the SMIP II
module and as such, each group has its own FAIL/POWER and ACCESS/ERROR indicators.

IGURE 1-2:FRONT PANEL LAYOUT
•96 Channels, 12 groups of 8 bits. Up to 576 channels in a double-slot C-size card, up to
192 channels in a single C-size card.
•Group-wise programmable, as an input or an output, through user TTL input or VXI A24/32
registers.
• Group-wise programmable polarity through VXI A24/32 registers as an active high or low.
• Input: 0 V to 60 V, V
• Output: Open collector (N-DMOS), 0 V to 60 V, up to 300 mA continuous with over-voltage
and over-current protection.
•Data throughput: 5 µs typical system speeds, 200 kilobytes per second (kb/s) using D8 access,
400 kb/s using D16 access.
•Data Input/Output Clock Sources: For each group, from Front Panel (F/P) clock input, or VXI
Register Writes.
• Capture clock edge programmable as rising edge or falling edge.
• Register based data access for fast throughput.
The SMP7500 Open Collector Digital I/O module is a high performance I/O module that has been
designed for high voltage, current and data throughput. The instrument uses direct register access
for very high-speed data through-put.
A single SMP7500 provides 96 open collector digital I/O line that are configurable as inputs or
outputs in twelve groups of 8 channels each. The module can drive up to 60 V with sink current of
up to 300 mA per channel. Each group of 8 bits is referred as a PORT. Each PORT can be
configured as an input port or an output port under program control. The SMP7500 has the
flexibility to configure the sourcing of the input and output clocks from either the front panel (F/P
GND_I/O) (one input per PORT), or via a VXI A24/A32 control register. There is also a Global
Clock Line from the front panel that may be user selected via hardware jumpers to drive selected
PORT clocks. By using the appropriate clocking configuration, very large numbers of channels
may by synchronized to collect or present data to a UUT (unit under test).
Each clock input is internally pulled to a logic high level and has an RC termination network to
reduce multiple clocking edges due to line ringing. The RC network consists of a 120 Ω resistor in
series with a 100 pF capacitor, giving a time constant of 12 ns.
The SMP7500 can be combined with any member of the SMIP II family to form a customized and
highly integrated instrument/switch.

When the SMP7500 is unpacked from its shipping carton, the contents should include the
following items:
(1) SMP7500 VXIbus module
(1) SMP7500 Open Collector Digital I/O Module User’s Manual (this manual)
All components should be immediately inspected for damage upon receipt of the unit.
Once the SMIP II is assessed to be in good condition, it may be installed into an appropriate C-
size or D-size VXIbus chassis in any slot other than slot zero. The chassis should be checked to
ensure that it is capable of providing adequate power and cooling for the SMIP II. Once the
chassis is found adequate, the SMIP II’s logical address and the chassis’ backplane jumpers
should be configured prior to the SMIP II’s installation.
CALCULATING SYSTEM POWER AND COOLING REQUIREMENTS
It is imperative that the chassis provide adequate power and cooling for this module. Referring to
the chassis operation manual, confirm that the power budget for the system (the chassis and all
modules installed therein) is not exceeded and that the cooling system can provide adequate
airflow at the specified backpressure.
It should be noted that if the chassis cannot provide adequate power to the module, the instrument
might not perform to specification or possibly not operate at all. In addition, if adequate cooling is
not provided, the reliability of the instrument will be jeopardized and permanent damage may
occur. Damage found to have occurred due to inadequate cooling could also void the warranty of
the module.
SETTING THE CHASSIS BACKPLANE JUMPERS
Please refer to the chassis operation manual for further details on setting the backplane jumpers.
The logical address of the SMIP II is set by two rotary switches located on the top edge of the
interface card, near the backplane connectors. Each switch is labeled with positions 0 through F.
The switch closer to the front panel of the module is the least significant bit (LSB or “Front”),
and the switch located towards the back of the module is the most significant bit (MSB or
“Back”). To set the Logical Address (LA), simply rotate the pointer to the desired value. For
example, to set the LA to 25, first convert the decimal number to the hexadecimal value of 19.
Next, set the back switch to 1, and the front switch to 9. See
conversion examples:

Set the address switches to FF (factory default) for dynamic configuration. Upon power-up, the
resource manager will assign a logical address. See Section F - Dynamic Configuration in the
VXIbus Specification for further information.
There is only one logical address per SMIP II base unit. Address assignments for individual
modules are handled through the A24/A32 address space allocation.

SELECTING THE EXTENDED MEMORY SPACE
The Extended Memory Space of the SMIP II is set by a dip-switch that is located on the bottom
edge of the interface card. Position 1, located to the left on the dip-switch, selects between A24
and A32 memory address space. In the UP position, the SMIP II will request A24 space. In the
DOWN position, the SMIP II will request A32 space. (Position 2 is not currently used.) The
selection of the address space should be based upon the memory allocation requirements of the
system that the SMIP II module will be installed. The amount of memory allocated to the SMIP II
module is independent of the address space selected.
