PXIe-1092 Backplane Overview
Interoperability with CompactPCI
The design of the PXIe-1092 provides you the flexibility to use the following devices in a
single PXI Express chassis:
• PXI Express compatible products
• CompactPCI Express compatible 2-Link system controller products
• CompactPCI Express compatible Type-2 peripheral products
• PXI peripheral products modified to fit in a hybrid slot
• Standard CompactPCI peripheral products modified to fit in a hybrid slot
System Controller Slot
The system controller slot is slot 1 of the chassis and is a 2-Link configuration system slot as
defined by the CompactPCI Express and PXI Express specifications. The chassis includes
three system controller expansion slots for system controller modules that are wider than one
slot. These slots allow the system controller to expand to the left to prevent the system
controller from using peripheral slots.
6| ni.com | PXIe-1092 User Guide

The backplane connects the system slot to a PCI Express switch using a Gen-3 x8 and a Gen-3
x16 PCI Express link. The PCIe switch is divided into 2 logical PCIe switches to distribute
PCIe connections to the peripheral slots and to 2 PCIe-to-PCI bridges to provide PCI busses to
the hybrid peripheral slots.
System slot link 1 is a Gen-3 x8 PCI Express link to the primary PCI Express switch,
providing a nominal bandwidth of 8 GB/s (single direction) between the system controller and
logical PCI Express switch 1. PXI Express peripheral slots 2-4 are connected to logical PCI
Express switch 1 with Gen-3 x8 PCI Express links and are downstream of system slot link 1.
System slot link 2 is a Gen-3 x16 PCI Express link to the primary PCI Express switch,
providing a nominal bandwidth of 16 GB/s (single direction) between the system controller
slot and logical PCI Express switch 2. PXI Express peripheral slots 5-9 are connected to
logical PCI Express switch 2 with Gen-3 x8 PCI Express links and are downstream of system
slot link 2.
The PCI Express-to-PCI bridges are connected to logical PCI Express switch 2 and provide a
32-bit, 33 MHz PCI bus for hybrid peripheral slots 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9.
The system controller slot also has connectivity to some PXI features such as: PXI_CLK10,
PXI Star, PXI Trigger Bus, and PXI Local Bus 6. By default, the system controller controls the
power supply with the PS_ON# signals. A logic low on this line powers on the power supply.
Note The chassis Inhibit Mode must be set to Default mode for the system
controller to control the power supply.
Hybrid Peripheral Slots
The chassis provides seven (7) hybrid peripheral slots as defined by the PXI-5 PXI Express
Hardware Specification: slots 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9. A hybrid peripheral slot can accept the
following peripheral modules:
• A PXI Express peripheral with x8, x4, or x1 PCI Express link through a switch to the
system slot. Each PXI Express peripheral slot can link up to a Gen-3 x8 PCI Express,
providing a maximum nominal single-direction bandwidth of 8 GB/s.
• A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x8, x4, or x1 PCI Express link to the
system slot or through a PCI Express switch to the system slot.
• A hybrid-compatible PXI Peripheral module modified by replacing the J2 connector with
an XJ4 connector installed in the upper eight rows of J2. Refer to the PXI Express
Specification for details. The PXI peripheral communicates through the backplane’s 32-
bit PCI bus.
• A CompactPCI 32-bit peripheral on the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.
The hybrid peripheral slots provide full PXI Express functionality and 32-bit PXI functionality
except for PXI Local Bus. The hybrid peripheral slot only connects to PXI Local Bus 6 left
and right.

System Timing Slot
The system timing slot is slot 6. The system timing slot accepts the following peripheral
modules:
• A PXI Express System Timing Module with x8, x4, or x1 PCI Express link to the system
slot through a PCI Express switch. Each PXI Express peripheral or hybrid peripheral slot
can link up to a Gen-3 x8 PCI Express, providing a maximum nominal single-direction
bandwidth of 8 GB/s.
• A PXI Express Peripheral with x8, x4, or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot through a
PCI Express switch.
• A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x8, x4, or x1 PCI Express link to the
system slot through a PCI Express switch.
The system timing slot has three (3) dedicated differential pairs (PXIe_DSTAR) connected
from the TP1 and TP2 connectors to the XP3 connector for each PXI Express hybrid
peripheral slot, as well as routed back to the XP3 connector of the system timing slot, as
shown in the following figure. You can use the PXIe_DSTAR pairs for high-speed triggering,
synchronization, and clocking. Refer to the PXI Express Specification for details.
The system timing slot also has a single-ended (PXI Star) trigger connected to every slot.
Refer to the following figure for more details.

The system timing slot has a pin (PXI_CLK10_IN) through which a system timing module
may source a 10 MHz clock to which the backplane phase-locks.

Expansion Slot
Peripheral Expansion Slot
A peripheral expansion slot is located in slot 10 and can be identified by its black connectors
and card guides. The peripheral expansion slot allows for a multiple-slot wide module (that
expands to the right) to expand into the peripheral expansion slot to avoid covering peripheral
slots.
The peripheral expansion slot provides power and connectors for alignment, but does not
provide I/O. For more information about peripheral expansion slot connector pinouts, refer to
the Expansion Slot Pinouts section. The peripheral expansion slot will accept the following
peripheral modules:
• Multiple-slot PXI Express peripheral modules that expand to the right. The module's
main connectors for signaling are mated in a peripheral slot to the left and a secondary
connector for power and/or mechanical alignment may be mated.
Note The peripheral expansion slot does not provide PCI/PXI Express or timing
signals. A single-slot module installed in the peripheral expansion slot will not be
functional.
Note For connector pinouts for the chassis backplane, refer to the PXI-5 PXI
Express Hardware Specification, Revision 2.0.

PXI Local Bus
The PXI backplane local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects each peripheral slot with
adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right.
The backplane routes PXI Local Bus 6 between all slots. The left local bus 6 from slot 1 is not
routed anywhere, and the right local bus 6 from slot 9 is not routed anywhere.
