1.0 - Introduction
Each CPCI32FF provides 32-channels of fixed gain and fixed frequency filtering on a 6U, CompactPCI
(CPCI) compatible board. Each CPCI32FF has optional single or differential inputs (DC coupled); and
single or differential outputs (DC coupled). Frequency Devices provides a one (1) year product warranty
from date of shipment for each card. See Appendix A for product performance specifications.
2.0 - Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully inspect the exterior of the package for evidence of damage. After noting areas of possible
shipping damage, open and unpack the shipping container, being careful to preserve the container and
packing materials in case they are needed later.
CAUTION
CPCI32FF’s ARE SENSITIVE TO STATIC ELECTRICITY.
USE PROPER GROUNDING TECHNIQUES WHEN HANDING THE BOARD.
Carefully remove the CPCI32FF from its anti-static bag and visually inspect the card for evidence of
damage. If the board appears to be damaged in any way, notify the shipping carrier.
3.0 - Hardware Configuration
Once the CPCI32FF has been removed from its anti-static bag and inspected for damage, you are ready
to configure the board.
CAUTION
CPCI32FF’s ARE SENSITIVE TO STATIC ELECTRICITY.
USE PROPER GROUNDING TECHNIQUES WHEN HANDING THE BOARD.
Lay the CPCI32FF on a static protected flat surface as shown in Figure 1.

The only user configuration on the CPCI32FF is Jumper J1 (Figure 2), to select the ground reference to
the analog circuitry. Jumper J1 allows the analog common of the channel path to float, be referenced to
the front panel chassis ground, or be connected to the CPCI back plane power supply return. The best
noise performance is obtained by jumpering the Analog Common with the CPCI back plane return.

4.0 - Board Installation
CAUTION
CPCI32FF’s ARE SENSITIVE TO STATIC ELECTRICITY. USE PROPER GROUNDING TECHNIQUES
WHEN HANDING THE BOARD.
Frequency Devices' Model CPCI32FF mechanically conforms to the single width 6U CPCI form factor.
The CPCI32FF may be installed in any available CPCI slot except Slot 0. The board does not use CPCI
interrupts or bus mastering capabilities.
A major consideration when selecting a slot location for the CPCI32FF will be the EMI and I/O signal
cabling. To minimize interference from other boards in the system, it is good practice to keep one or more
empty slots between analog signal conditioning boards and high-speed digital boards. When cabling the
system, it is desirable to keep the analog signal cable as short as possible and physically located away
from high speed digital cables and high voltage switching lines.
5.0 - I/O Connections and the Front Panel
The following information is provided to assist the user when installing a CPCI32FF into a CPCI system.
5.1 - Front Panel Layout
The following sections provide detailed information about connectors, pin-out, and cabling. There are
no front panel indicators or controls on the CPCI32FF. Figure 4 shows the layout of the front panel.

5.2. - Input and Output Connector Configurations
The input connector on the board is a female 78 pin high-density D-sub connector. The output
connector is a male 78 pin high-density D-sub connector. Input and output connectors have the
same pin out. Known suppliers for a mating connector are Edac of Canada (633, 634 series),
Positronic (ODD series), and AMP. An exact mating connector cannot be recommended because of
the large variety of usable connector configuration details such as hoods, cable exit options, etc.
The pins identified Low on the input and output connectors, are tied to the analog common when the
single ended input or output option is selected.
