Introduction 1
cPCI-A3525
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
CompactPCI®Serial (PICMG CPCI-S.0) is a new modular com-
puter standard officially adopted by PICMG in 2011. The Compact-
PCI Serial standard defines a completely new connector to
support high-speed serial interfaces including PCI Express, SATA,
USB and Ethernet. A CompactPCI Serial backplane has six
high-speed connectors P1 to P6 on the system slot but only P1 is
mandatory on peripheral slots, P2 to P6 being optional. A Com-
pactPCI Serial system can comprise a total of nine blades (one
system blade and eight peripheral I/O blades) through an Ethernet
full mesh or single star architecture. The CompactPCI® Serial
standard is the next-generation of the CompactPCI® specification
and provides more flexibility and higher speed and bandwidth in
modular system solutions.
The ADLINK cPCI-A3525 Series is a 3U CompactPCI Serial com-
patible processor blade with SO-DIMM DDR4-2666 ECC memory
up to 64GB. The ADLINK cPCI-A3525 features a 8th/9th genera-
tion Intel® Core™ processor with Mobile Intel® CM246 PCH Chip-
set.
The cPCI-A3525 Series is a 3U CompactPCI Serial blade avail-
able in single-slot (4HP) form factors with optional daughter
boards to provide extra storage and with 2 extra GbE port throught
P6 to the rear backplane. Faceplate I/O on the single slot (4HP)
includes 1x DP, 2x GbE and 2x USB 3.0 ports (these I/O are com-
mon to all versions).
Serial interfaces on the backplane connectors P1 to P5 include
two PCI Express x8, one PCI Express x2, two PCI Express x4,
three PCI Express x1, seven SATA 6Gb/s, two USB 3.0, and eight
USB 2.0 ports. Addition- ally, the P6 connector supports two Giga-
bit Ethernet interfaces.
The cPCI-A3525 is a high-performance solution for transportation,
factory automation, defense and other industrial applications that
require superior data transfer capability and advanced computing
power. The ADLINK cPCI-A3525 provides high manageability,
supports Satellite mode operation as a standalone blade in periph-

eral slots, and Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA) for
system health monitoring. In addition, with multiple operating sys-
tem and board support package (BSP) support, users can build a
reliable and high-performance industrial system with cPCI-A3525
Series.
