Product Description
For development or production use the PMC2PCI card to install a PCI form
factor device into a PMC compatible slot. Use less expensive or off-the-
shelf components until your PMC card is ready or for temporary debugging
situations. For production mode situations the available riser card will
reduce the effective height of the installed PCI card. The PMC2PCI is
64/66 capable and compatible with 32/33 systems. Both VIO voltages
are supported.
Special features:
• Single width PMC card with blank bezel.
• 10Ωseries resistors on the A/D bus
• Clamping diodes on the control interface signals
• Zero delay buffer on clock.
• 3.3 and 5V PCI slots are on the rear of the card PMC Host sets the
signal levels.
• LEDs on key voltages
• Onboard 10 A switching regulator for PMC 3.3V supply
• Shunt selectable regulated or slot provided 3.3V
• Slot selectable secondary VIO reference voltage.
• 32 or 64 bit operation – PMC Host must support 64 bit operation for
that width to work in the PCI slot
• 66 or 33 MHz operation. PMC Host clock speed supported up to 66
MHz.
• JTAG programming support for PCI slots
• Busmode set to respond to PMC.
The PMC2PCI is ready to use with the default settings. Just install the
PMC2PCI onto the PMC slot and the PCI card into the PMC2PCI.
The only shunt selection is for the 3.3V source. Install for the on-board
10A regulator and open for the PMC supplied 3.3V power. The 3.3V
LED should illuminate in either case.
The PCI sockets are keyed and labeled for 3.3 or 5V PCI cards. The PMC
slot only supports one PCI attachment. Only one PCI card should be
installed at a time to prevent conflicts. Select either the 3.3V or the 5V
slot. If your application requires one of each or two of the same type to be
used we can add a bridge to the design to allow expansion from one PMC
slot to at least 2 active PCI slots. Please contact Dynamic Engineering for
this option or any other custom modifications that your system may
require.

Applications Guide
Interfacing
Some general interfacing guidelines are presented below. Do not hesitate
to contact the factory if you need more assistance.
Installation
The PMC2PCI is mounted to the host card prior to installation within the
chassis. For best results: with the host bracket installed, install the PMC
at an angle so that the PMC2PCI front panel bezel penetrates the host
bracket then rotate down to mate with the PMC [PnX] connectors.
There are four mounting locations. Two screws into the PMC mounting
bezel and two for the standoffs near the PMC bus connectors. The
PMC2PCI bezel and stand-offs are pre-installed. Screws are supplied to
mount to the host.
Riser
A riser card is available to allow the PCI card to be installed parallel to the
PMC instead of perpendicular. The Riser card will save most of the PCI
card height and potentially reduce the number of slots that are required.
for available riser options.
Start-up
Make sure that the "system" can see your hardware before trying to
access it. Many BIOS will display the PCI devices found at boot up on a
"splash screen" with the VendorID and CardId for the PCI card installed
and an interrupt level. Look quickly! If the information is not available from
the BIOS then a third party PCI device cataloging tool will be helpful. For
Windows® based systems “PCIView” is recommended.
Watch the system grounds. All electrically connected equipment should
have a fail-safe common ground that is large enough to handle all current
loads without affecting noise immunity. Power supplies and power
consuming loads should all have their own ground wires back to a common
point.
Power all system power supplies from one switch. Connecting external
voltage to the PCI card installed when it is not powered can damage it, as
well as the rest of the host system. This problem may be avoided by turning
all power supplies on and off at the same time. This applies more to the
Page 6 Electronics Design • Manufacturing Services
PCI card installed into the PMC2PCI than the PMC2PCI itself, and it is
smart system design when it can be achieved.
Construction and Reliability
The PMC2PCI is constructed out of 0.062 inch thick FR4 material. The
components on the PMC2PCI are tied into the internal power planes to
spead the dissipated heat out over a larger area. This is an effective
cooling technique in the situation where a large portion of the board has
little or no power dissipation. In addition the power dissipation of the SMT
regulator and the zero delay buffer are minimal.
Surface mount and through hole components are used.
The PMC Module connectors are keyed and shrouded with Gold plated pins
on both plugs and receptacles. They are rated at 1 Amp per pin, 100
insertion cycles minimum. These connectors make consistent, correct
insertion easy and reliable.
The PMC Module is secured against the carrier with the PMC connectors.
It is recommended, for enhanced security against vibration and to help with
the PCI card installation, that the PMC mounting screws are installed. The
PMC2PCI is shipped with the bezel mounted and the stand-offs installed.
Screws are supplied to secure to the host card.
Dynamic Engineering has replacement screws, standoffs, blank bezels and
other PMC hardware available at a reasonable cost.
Thermal Considerations
If the PCI installed has a high heat dissipation then forced air cooling is
recommended.

Warranty and Repair
Dynamic Engineering warrants this product to be free from defects in
workmanship and materials under normal use and service and in its
original, unmodified condition, for a period of one year from the time of
purchase. If the product is found to be defective within the terms of this
warranty, Dynamic Engineering's sole responsibility shall be to repair, or at
Dynamic Engineering's sole option to replace, the defective product. The
product must be returned by the original customer, insured, and shipped
prepaid to Dynamic Engineering. All replaced products become the sole
property of Dynamic Engineering.
Dynamic Engineering's warranty of and liability for defective products is
limited to that set forth herein. Dynamic Engineering disclaims and excludes
all other product warranties and product liability, expressed or implied,

fitness for a particular purpose or use, liability for negligence in
manufacture or shipment of product, liability for injury to persons or
property, or for any incidental or consequential damages.
Dynamic Engineering’s products are not authorized for use as critical
components in life support devices or systems without the express written
approval of the president of Dynamic Engineering.
Service Policy
Before returning a product for repair, verify as well as possible that the
suspected unit is at fault. Then call the Customer Service Department for a
RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION (RMA) number. Carefully package the
unit, in the original shipping carton if this is available, and ship prepaid and
insured with the RMA number clearly written on the outside of the package.
Include a return address and the telephone number of a technical contact.
For out-of-warranty repairs, a purchase order for repair charges must
accompany the return. Dynamic Engineering will not be responsible for
damages due to improper packaging of returned items. For service on
Dynamic Engineering Products not purchased directly from Dynamic
Engineering contact your reseller. Products returned to Dynamic
Engineering for repair by other than the original customer will be treated as
out-of-warranty.

Out of Warranty Repairs
Out of warranty repairs will be billed on a material and labor basis. The
current minimum repair charge is $100. Customer approval will be
obtained before repairing any item if the repair charges will exceed one half
of the quantity one list price for that unit. Return transportation and
insurance will be billed as part of the repair and is in addition to the
minimum charge.
